We are creating a new opportunity for worship, prayer and encounter with God.
Join us on the 4th Sunday of every month from 7:30pm for our worship and prayer evening.
You can expect space and time in a safe relaxed atmosphere with an encouragement to listen, experience God’s presence and pray for our world. This starts Sunday 25th Sept.
Mark Burgess, from our mission giving partner Oikos Peru, will be with us for a workshop evening on Tuesday 27th September at 7:30pm in the Kairos Room.
Mark will be telling stories of how they gave away food to over 2050 families during lockdown in Peru. Come and be inspired about how to respond to God’s prompting in times of need. We’d love you to join us!
Kairos is hosting an Autumn Community Fair on Sunday 24th September from 12-3pm at Westcliffe Hall. This will be an opportunity to have fun together with some of our friends and neighbours.
There will be games, skalextric with a difference, craft and charty stalls, salsa, plants, nearly new books and toys and plenty of cake. We’d love you tojoin us!
Kairos Church will be holding a Confirmation service here at Kairos at 11am on Sunday 20th November with Bishop Helen-Ann Hartley.
Confirmation is an opportunity for adults and young people to make a public declaration of faith and receive prayer to be filled with the Holy Spirit. It is a great thing to do, especially if you are a young person wanting to say that following Jesus is for you or an adult wanting to mark a commitment in your faith.
There will be 4 Confirmation preparation sessions, 7.30pm – 8.30pm: Thursday 29th September, Thursday 6th October, Thursday 13th October and a final session on Thursday 10th November.
Please let Jen know by the 18th September if you’d like to be confirmed on the 20th November or if you’d like to find out a bit more about what will be involved.
One of the things I (Ben) keep hearing again and again, in conversation with many of you and as I read and learn about breakthroughs in mission and disciple-making, is the importance of praying.
‘The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.’ James 5:16
More and more of us are learning that time praying together is essential if we are to see personal renewal or change in our community, our town or our world.
‘To clasp the hands in prayer is the beginning of an uprising against the disorder of the world’. Karl Barth, quoted by Pete Greig in Red Moon Rising.
I want to invite you to start September joining with others in Kairos for 24 hours of prayer. The network team are setting up a prayer room at Westcliffe Hall so that we have a space with ideas, prompts and resources to help us pray as a whole church. All we need is for you to come and join us!
Our prayer room will be running from 5pm Friday to 5pm Saturday. There will be prayer prompts based around the parable of the sower helping us to pray for good soil in this season.
Come for an hour or more at any time of the day or night. Why not book in a slot with 1 or 2 others so you can come together?

We will start our 24 hours of prayer together with 3 hours of Pray – Eat – Pray.
5-6pm Pray: Creative prayer for all ages. This will be a fun way to engage with prayer either on your own or as a family.
6-7pm Eat: We’ll eat together. Come and have Friday tea with friends.
7-8pm. Pray: We’ll continue for another hour of gathered prayer and intercession.
Join us to pray then eat, or eat then pray – or all of it! You can just turn up to pray, but please let us know if you want to eat with us by Tuesday 6th September so we can get enough food. Prayer like this often feels like a sacrifice before we do it but a privilege once we’re there.
Don’t miss out on this opportunity to pray with us and see what God does!

Let us know you’re eating with us on Friday 9th September
