Sing carols in town with us on Thursday 12th December
The Lexicon have invited the Bracknell Churches back to sing carols together by the Christmas tree in the middle of the Lexicon shopping Centre, to sing carols and invite people to many of the carols services at the Bracknell Churches by giving out leaflets on Thursday 12th December.
Please, we still need your help to spread the JOY this Christmas Season
We still need help in bringing Christmas JOY to our events over this season. Can you take up a serving opportunity?
Join us in bringing JOY to Christmas…. 🎄 👼🏻🎁
Part of our DNA at Kerith Community Church is to craft events and moments where people can experience the presence of God in the midst of the Christmas season. To do this well we need all of us to play our part- it’s a great way to make new friends at Kerith and bless those coming through the doors for the first time.
Friday: Christmas, the opportunities for evangelism and impact
Let’s P.R.A.Y.
P: Pause. How do I feel about Christmas? Is the idea stressing me out or bringing me joy? Talk to God about how you feel.
R: Rejoice. Give thanks that someone explained the Gospel to you, Who were they? Thank God for them!
A: Ask. Think about who you'd like to invite to our Christmas events, ask Jesus for opportunities to chat with them over the coming weeks. Pray for the teams planning Christmas and ask God to guide you to what your involvement could be this year.
Y: Yield. Give God any anxiety or fear around inviting others to join with you at Kerith this Christmas.
Wednesday: Our local community, Bracknell town, schools, health & wealth
9 Oct, 2024
Let’s P.R.A.Y.
P: Pause. What are the local council services near you? Take a moment today to think back to the times you have accessed them , the schools, the hospitals, the tip, the library etc
R: Rejoice. Thank God for the moments when they have been a blessing to you- thank God for the staff teams- can you name any?
A: Ask. Right now local government departments are waiting for more cuts, lets pray for the decision makers that they will make wise choices, that money will be released to support the most vunerable. That as a church community we would be engaged in our local community, acknowledging the needs around us and stepping in to be a blessing.
Y: Yield. Where there is injustice in our local systems lets choose today not to grumble but to bring light and hope and support sustainable solutions. What is God giving you ‘holy discontent’ about? Yield to your part in the solution!

Keeping The Kerith Centre Bright and Clear
Opening its doors in 1989, and having been a recognisable and welcoming space within our Bracknell community for over 30 years, The Kerith Centre is in need of some upgrades to keep it functioning at its best. Currently we're focusing on upgrading its auditorium lighting and replacing its PA system.

An opportunity to celebrate with our community in Bracknell
For families coming out from war torn London in the 1950s, the new town of Bracknell has an incredible legacy as a place of provision - and the Kerith Centre ( ‘place of provision’ in Hebew!) is right in the middle of the town!
Save the date - Kerith Bracknell Women’s Event
Join us for a day of connection and divine interruption on Saturday, July 13th. Inspired by a profound experience at 'The Gathering' last year, we're creating space for God to meet us just as we are.

Thursday: Week of Fasting & Prayer
Here’s Thursday’s prayer guide during our week of Fasting & Prayer in Bracknell. Includes prayer activity for the kids.
Light Night
As Christians should we try to discourage children from celebrating Halloween and from “Trick or Treating” in the community? Holding Light Parties in church is a great way to reach local children and families, show the light of Jesus at work in the world, build community, and offer an alternative.
