Did you you find an angel on Saturday morning?

Local people were astounded to discover that 350+ angels had landed in Crowthorne with a message to “take me home”.

The Village facebook site was transformed by stories of people finding angels “It made my day”, said one surprised trader.

Children joined in too “By request of my little person we had to stop at each and everyone and read the messages.”

The flight of angels was co-ordinated by the churches in Crowthorne / Finchampstead as part of their Christmas Message to the Village. Later in the morning, a band and singers from all the churches sang carols for shoppers in the High Street.

Angels play a big part in the Christmas story – delivering messages to Mary the mother of Jesus and the shepherds outside Bethlehem where Jesus was born.

Crowthorne Angels delivered messages including “joy to the world” , “life is for living” and “peace on earth”.

This Christmas will you stop and listen to the message of the angels?

Join one of the local churches as they celebrate Christmas. Details here.

PS Don’t forget to bring your angel!

Welcome to new residents of Birch Place!

On Thursday 14th November, members from Crowthorne Baptist, Crowthorne Methodist, Holy Ghost RC, St John’s and St Sebastian’s churches joined new homeowners at Birch Place to welcome them into their new home.

The lounge was soon buzzing with happy chatter and yes, we demolished the cakes and biscuits that the team brought too!

Our hope and prayer is that all the new residents will be really happy, thrive and be blessed as they make their new home at Birch Place.

Week of Prayer – Day 8

  • Psalm 27:1-4
  • John 8:12-20

Over the past eight days the churches of Indonesia have helped us consider difficult situations facing the world. Many of these have raised questions of justice. The Church has been complicit in many instances of injustice and, through that complicity, we have damaged our unity and diminished the effectiveness of our witness to the world. Christians gather for common prayer, professing common faith and to listen for God’s voice. Although the many injustices wound us, we do not lose hope, but are called to action. The Lord is our light and salvation, the stronghold of our lives. We do not fear.
