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.
The Churches in Crowthorne invite you to come and join us on the Morgan Rec for FOUR fridays of fun, free activities for young people and their families. See you there!
Every year the Churches in Crowthorne and Finchampstead support Christian Aid to raise money to support people living in poverty worldwide.
You are warmly invited to St James, Finchampstead for a service of worship for this year’s Christian Aid Week at 6pm on Sunday May 12th. We are delighted to be welcoming Sarah Clay from the South East Regional office of Christian Aid to be our speaker.
All the churches in Crowthorne wish you a very Happy Easter!

“Rise! Take Your Mat and Walk”
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.

Proclaim the good news to all of creation, not just to my small part.
Oh God, who made the world, both body and gift. Your creation groans.
What have we done?
Land and sea polluted, death and destruction, communities gone,families displaced. While we sit in comfort. Your creation groans.
What have we done?
A damaged world, a broken system. Upheld by stupidity, destruction, neglect and greed. An abuse of God’s gift, while we disconnect.
Where is God’s voice, God’s rolling waves of justice?
We too are God’s body, thinking beyond ourselves, seeing consequences, listening for the still small voice, swimming against the tide.
Asking what shall I do?
