Closer and Deeper

A few weeks ago when thinking about prayer in the morning service, we were invited to just stop, be still, reflect and enter into a prayer time. I have to say that I found myself enjoying those moments of silence, but then various thoughts came to me and I reached out for a note book and pen. You see I needed to try to put into words the thoughts that I had and maybe the lessons I learnt.

Firstly, relationship came into my mind and I knew that prayer was not just talking and listening, but was indeed, a moving closer to God, a deeper contact with the Father, a sitting with each other. I found this a joy and felt a song in my heart, a beautiful sound, but more than that, a song that He too had in His heart. What a wonderful feeling to be in tune with God’s tune.

Strangely, I then felt that I just wanted to give God a big hug. After all, we talk about God’s loving arms around us, so what about us wanting to put our arms around Father God. I think He’d like that, don’t you? Now isn’t that relationship? A mutual show of love?

In those moments of prayerful silence I was transported to a place where the deepest part of my being was meeting with a taste of the deepest part of God’s love. Although we cannot comprehend the total extent of that perfect love, just to have a taste, was a banquet indeed.

Those few moments of prayerful silence made me ask myself, ”Am I passionate, not just content, but passionate for God’s company?” Am I wanting to tap into the fullness of God’s power, or, if I’m honest, am I a little bit frightened of what that might mean in my daily life.
Maybe you have felt the same, maybe this has given you some thoughts.

Don’t we all want to dwell closer and closer to Father every day?

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 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.

What happens to the children 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.

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