Family Fun Get-Together

(Next: Sunday 4 April 2010, 10am)

Ardingly Chapel is hosting a monthly Family Fun Get-Together, and you are most welcome! We're inviting local families to come along to enjoy food and fellowship, do some meaningful things with our kids, including games and crafts, and share family values in relaxed and hopefully mutually fruitful ways.

Family Fun Get-Together (6 Mar 2010)

We had a lovely, relaxed, and busy first Family Fun Get-Together. The themes was kings and queens, and we made crowns and watched a short animation about a selfish king who finally realised that thinking only of himself is wrong - and he changed! We are encouraged to think of others anmd share what we have. The five local families have enjoyed the meet and we are happy about this. The next get-together is a combined meeting with our Easter Breakfast Service on Sunday 4 April at 10am - all welcome!

Holocaust Memorial Service (31 Jan 2010)

Ardingly Chapel has hosted a Holocaust Memorial Service on Sunday 31 January 2010, four days after the official Holocaust Memorial Day of the United Nations.

It was a precious time of contemplation about the world's gravest crime against humanity. We had a special guest, the son of a French Jew who had lost almost everything in his native Paris... as well as a Holocaust Exhibition, partly about British rescuers of Jewish children in WWII and partly about Anne Frank.

Christmas Party @ the Chapel (20 Dec 2009)

We had a lovely Christmas Party with a breakfast, crafts for the kinds (done by the ladies from our Coffee & Crafts Morning!), music and presentations.Thanks to all who came - you made that party a success. Special thanks to Angie and the ladies from the Coffee & Crafts Morning for their hard work in making the nativity scene - great stuff!

We so much appreciate the generous dontaions of £109.70 towards a charity in Zambia working with AIDS orpahns: the MWAMA Foundation. Ardingly Chapel will 'top-up' so that we can give £150 towards their precious work.

God bless you!

Fashion Show @ the Chapel (28 Nov 2009)

Day of Prayer for Israel (4 Oct 2009)

On Sunday 4 October over 200,000 Churches from around the world and from various church backgrounds set time apart to pray for Israel: to pray for the Jewish people and their State, to pray for the Arab population, and for the peace of Jerusalem (see Psalm 122:6). Ardingly Chapel is participating in that Day of Prayer. Gordon Merk will be sharing some important background information to the present conflict and why Christians should pray for and support Israel. For more information see, www.daytopray.com

Home Group (in the Manse)

We've started our home group! We're meeting Thursdays at 8pm for an hour. Everyone welcome! Please contact Gordon on 892.221 if you want to join. We'd love to have you over!

Youth Camp (August 2009)

In the first week of August a group of 36 youth from Switzerland came to Ardingly for a summer camp. We did community work, had Church meetings, held teaching sessions, and made things in and around the Chapel look nicer. We have a new noticeboard outside the Chapel, which looks beautiful--thanks to Markus! The people in the village whom we helped weeding were very grateful and happy with our work, and we were happy doing them a favour! It's simply good to do good; Christian youth are different in the way they spend their time.

Our meetings were good, notably our guest speakers: Pastor Nana from London (Monday) and Gordon's parents from Switzerland (Tuesday). In our morning sessions we discussed the following issue: how to know, experience and understand God. The kids came up with many good and deep questions, which was very encouraging. They were all excited, blessed and changed after that camp, and we were so happy to have had them over--God bless you and thanks for coming!
