What's the point!

The signpost in the picture is on the edge of a field just a few yards along the lane from where I live. Because of its age and weathering, there are two problems. One is you can’t read what’s written on it, which is less than helpful, and the other problem is that it actually points downwards into our neighbour’s front garden! So, all in all, as a signpost it isn’t particularly helpful or useful!

What got to me and caused me some serious thought, was this question: “Am I a good signpost?” Now, I don’t mean I want to be tall and thin and looking good, it is somewhat deeper than that.

You see, I wondered what people see in us. Are we pointing people to Christ, are we showing the way to others? Are we a signpost that is clear and knows which direction we are pointing to?

With the signpost along the road having a sad and tired look, and obviously seen better days, how tragic it would be if that is how others see us!

In the Gospel of Matthew chapter five, Jesus talks about salt and light and said, “You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness …… it is no good for anything, except to be thrown out …… “. Maybe that could be said about the signpost along the road. But Jesus went on to say, “You are the light of the world ….. let your light shine before men …… that they praise your Father in heaven. “

What about us? We have a life-saving, loving, redeeming God and if you want others around you to know about Him, stand upright and point the way.

What should I expect when I visit the church?

You will receive a very warm greeting from us. Our dedicated welcome team will be able to answer your questions and direct you to where you need to go. A member of the Leadership Team is also on hand to help with any queries. There will be approximately 45 mins of singing with opportunity for church members to pray or read a passage from the Bible. There will be teaching from one of the leaders at the Church with a chance to respond at the end of the service.

Tea, coffee and biscuits (and sometimes cake) are served after the service when there is plenty of time to meet new people and ask more questions. During the period of our building project we will not have access to our kitchen, so will be unable to offer refreshments as usual, however, please spend time after the service to share in fellowship together.

How are the children and youth involved at church?

We have fantastic programmes for the youth at WBC, for:

Creche (3 months - pre-school). Children under 3 months are welcome but must be accompanied by their parent/carer at all times.
Ignite (reception - year 6)
T4:12 ( Year 7 - year 11)

Children stay with their parents at the start of the service as we worship (sing songs!) together for the first part of the morning. Someone will announce when the children need to go to their programme. At the end of the service the group leaders will ensure you have your children.

For more information about what happens in the children's work please visit the relevant age groups for you under church life.

Is there a dress code?

No! Please just be yourself and come dressed in your 'normal' clothes.

Will I have to join in?

Not at all! You are free to simply observe or participate as much as feels comfortable for you.
