Christ Lutheran Church

On Saturday 21 June 2008, Christ Lutheran Church celebrates fifty years since its foundation. Everyone is warmly invited to join us as we celebrate this anniversary, and to give thanks to God for his blessings over the past fifty years.

Our service of celebration and thanksgiving will begin at 2.30 pm, and will be followed by tea. We look forward to seeing you at what promises to be an enjoyable and memorable event.

The application forms for this year’s retreat are now available from the bulletin board in the church entrance hall. Everyone is encouraged to attend this weekend of good study, fun and fellowship.

A special service to mark the beginning of Lent. This meditative service will include special prayers in preparation for the forty days of Lent, the imposition of ashes as a symbol of our repentance, and a celebration of the Lord’s Supper.

Have you wondered why the streets are so quiet on Monday afternoons? Well, the answer may be because people are coming to the Poverest Afternoon Club at Christ Lutheran Church. We meet fortnightly from 2.00 – 4.00 pm. We have a quiz, tea, coffee, and snacks, and a speaker usually follows this. For only £1, lots of laughs, some good information, and a nice cuppa can be yours. So why not come along and see what everyone is doing.

Our Kent Mission congregation usually meets on the first and fourth Sundays in each month. The service will begin at 3 pm, at Rainham Methodist Church, Station Road, Rainham, Kent ME8 7PR (map).

Our regular meeting to discuss matters relating to the running of the church. All church members are welcome to attend: here is your opportunity to have a say in what our congregation is doing.

We will be holding a special service to celebrate the Feast of the Epiphany at our Kent mission in Rainham (Rainham Methodist Church, Station Road, Rainham, Kent ME8 7PR – map), at 3 pm on Sunday 6 January.

The Feast of the Epiphany, twelve days after Christmas, is when we celebrate the visit of the Magi to see the infant Jesus: the time when Jesus’ glory as the Son of God was first revealed to people from outside the nation of Israel. To mark this event, our Sunday morning service will be a special service of lessons and carols relating to the Epiphany.

The Orpington Chorale always put on a wonderful evening of Christmas music, and we are delighted to welcome them back for their annual Christmas concert.  Refreshments available after the service.
