Prayer works!

Over this past year at Ascot Baptist Church we have been looking at becoming “a community of Prayer”. We have had this focus, since looking at how we become more missional as a church, how we reach out to the community around us. As we did this we realised a ...

Epic Fail

That is, me keeping this blog up to date! I had hoped to blog once a week when I started, i’ve managed less than one every 3 months!! When I have blogged, it has helped me by writing it down, so I need to be more disciplined to do this, ...

Looking forward to Newday

Tomorrow marks the end of the school year here in Ascot for most schools. What does this mean? The summer holidays are here. I love the summer holidays, they are probably the busiest weeks of the year for me! Over the next couple of weeks we will have various socials with ...

Looking forward to Butlins!

This weekend, we travel as a family to Butlins in Bognor Regis to be at our regional “together at” weekend. We will join about 3000 people gathered from churches in the Home counties, London and Kent for a weekend of fellowship, worship and teaching. These weekends are so valuable for ...
