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.
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)
PRAY FOR PEACE
O Lord our God, we offer our prayers for those who have perished as a result of conflict and the strife of war. We pray for those who have given themselves willingly, those who made the ultimate sacrifice. We pray for those who have been victimised, innocent casualties of hatred and terror. We pray for those who continue to place themselves in harm's way in order that peace and harmony might be achieved. Hear us O Lord as we make this appeal in their memory; Bless those who have fought and valiantly died that we might enjoy liberty and freedom. May their sacrifice not be in vain.
In Jesus Name
AMEN
PRAYERS FOR THE CHURCH AND OUR 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 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.
PRAYER FOR ISRAEL
Lord we worship you.
In the midst of the storm, we raise our eyes to you. Please speak peace into the crisis in Israel and Gaza.We raise all the innocent children that have been affected by this war. You said "Let little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these." You have created each of them - You love them deeply and profoundly, Lord protect them, heal them and provide for them and their families.
Lord, we pray for the hostages . Please bring them home safely. Let Your peace wash over them and their families.
We pray for families who have lost loved ones. How much more must your heart be torn when you see this suffering . Let those who are suffering feel the comfort of your embrace.
Father please give world leaders wisdom as they handle the situation. We come to You with open hands, knowing and trusting that You are able to do above and beyond anything we can ask for or imagine .
In the name of Jesus
AMEN

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.
