AN INVITATION TO OUR BIBLE STUDIES
The first Tuesday of every month, we have a cake and coffee morning which gives us an opportunity to meet up for a chat and enjoy fellowship with each other. There's plenty of delicious cakes, tea and coffee to enjoy whilst we natter about this and that.
EVERY OTHER TUESDAY, we meet at 10.30 a.m. to study the Bible. We start off with tea, coffee and biscuits and a quick chat before we begin. These sessions are not only enjoyable but extremely valuable. It's amazing how much you can learn by discussing amongst ourselves the various aspects of how life may have been like before and after the birth of Jesus.
More importantly, it's what we learn about what God wanted for his people and particularly the ministry of Jesus and his disciples.
Please do come and join us and learn more about our wonderful Saviour and His ancestors.
"You will go out in joy and be led forth in peace, the mountain and hills will burst into song before you and all the trees of the field will clap their hands."
(Isaiah 55 v 12)
The Lord invites everyone to have eternal life through our saviour Jesus Christ.
PRAYER FOR THE WORLD
We praise you, God, for your Church across the globe. In particular, we lift to You our church partners who are faithfully serving You. We pray for peace and hope to abound. Many are affected by wars, natural disasters, floods, droughts and forest fires. Many are struggling with conflict, poverty and the global food crisis. Father, please protect those who are vunerable to illness around the world, especially children and babies living in poverty and particularly those children who have been made orphans in areas of conflict. Father we pray for your protection and healing. We pray for our partner churches who work so hard to look after their communities. Dear Father, we pray for countries experiencing the turmoil of conflict and political instability, We ask for peace to be restored. Please grant wisdom and integrity to world Leaders so that they will work for the good of the people they govern and
serve.
We know that you listen to our prayers when our hearts and minds can feel overwhelmed by the immense challenges affecting people, all around the world as well as our loved ones. Scripture promises that when we turn to you, you will respond with compassion. Verse 1 in Psalm 46 says "God is our refuge and strength, and ever-present help in trouble.
In the Name of Jesus,
AMEN
A NEW VISION FOR UMBERLEIGH CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP IS EMERGING
A vision of multiple "lights" in the Taw Valley (Missional Communities)
"I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life"
(John 8:12)
A new approach would see UCF gathered in two missional communities.
​
1. The existing congregation - Continuing to meet on most Sunday mornings and mid-week.​
This group would focus on reaching out to others through activities like 'Coffee and Chat" at 10.30am on the first Tuesday of the
month.
2. A new community - To be formed meeting on most Sunday afternoons and mid-week . It would explore creative and
contemporary ways to worship and gather, particularly with younger people and families in mind.
​
​
Both communities would come together monthly for a joint gathering - a space for worship and celebration for all generations.
​
This would create a rhythm of the large and the (closer) small communities, with the vision to see more missional communities
formed in the Taw Valley.
​
"These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home, and when you walk along the road, when you lie down, and when you get up"
' (Deuteronomy 6: 6-7)

We have a varied programme, sometimes we are joined with puppet and Puppeteer, readings of Bible stories, and singing.

Bible Studies
​​
In our studies, we all share equally in reading the chosen passage of Scripture and discussing what it means in its historic setting as well as its relevance to us as 21st Century believers in Jesus.
We are continually amazed at the richness of God's Word and how it relates to our situation.​
​
You can see what we are currently studying and learn more on our Bible Groups page here.
​
Communion
​
Jesus told his disciples to remember Him and his sacrifice every time they shared bread and wine together.
​
We do as He told them on the second and fourth Sundays of each month, as an integral part of our Morning Service.
​
All who love the Lord Jesus and know Him as Saviour are welcome to join us in this simple meal.
