Let's Pray ALL WEEK!



Hey did you know that Broadway Baptist Church (in beautiful Chesham) is 300 years old this year?

Well it's not so nrrrrr.

But it sort of is.
Really it's the 300th anniversary of a bunch of baptists (in beautiful Chesham) saying "let's build our own church, just here will do nicely!". The current church is the second building (I think) and originally it was called "Chesham General Baptist Church".

So what's the point of all this history you ask, and what's it got to do with praying all week.....hang on chum, I'm getting there!

Over the next month and a bit there's a lot of stuff going on to mark 300 years of normal people in this church
meeting with God,
worshipping Him,
serving Him
and inviting the rest of the town to get to know Him too.

Not a 'yay, 300 years of us' but a 'yay God', if you will. You get the difference, right?

To kick things off the church is having a week of prayer activites. Offically this starts on Sunday, but we like to think we're a bit ahead of the times in Youth Alpha, so (you might want to sit down of this bit...) we're kicking it off TONIGHT!

Tonight we are going to think about talking to God,
we're going to talk about taking to God,
stroof we're even going to do some talking to God.
If you're idea of 'prayer' is dull and boreing then get yourself along tonight and see how wrong you are!

On Sunday morning Youth Alpha will be focusing on some great practical examples of how to prayer. And of course they'll be the usual merriment and high jinks that you would expect from any of the fine events put on by Broadway Youth.

DETAILS: Youth Alpha is open to anyone from school year 7 to 13 (secondary school).
If you'd like to come but haven't been before please get in touch with us (we're in the phone book or leave a comment here) so we know whoes coming.
Youth Alpha takes place on Friday nights 7.30 - 9.30pm at the church (please come to the back door and ring the bell)
and on Sunday mornings, 10.30 - 12pm during the church service.
