Welcome!

They call it "Indian Summer", but we say its summer redeeming itself, giving us a few more weeks to enjoy summer-like days, while the nights get cooler and colder. Like the last bell in pubs, we get one last round of summer. But Creator-Redeemer, or God is already busy with His colour palette, painting each leaf and the whole countryside in vibrant, vivid, fiery colours, setting the whole place ablaze (God forbid it happen literally!). 

Our Sunday morning 9:30 am prayertime for our nation and our leaders has a core group commited to prayer. The world over, there is crisis in leadership: leaders who don't know how to lead, only to assert themselves, and people challenging leaders in the performance of their roles, trying to pull them down.  

In our regular worship service, we have been enjoying an exciting time in the book of Nehemah, learning how to pray in difficult times and through adversity. The question, "What’s the point of praying, if we cannot trust God? What’s the point of praying, if we cannot depend on God to answer prayer?" has sparked an interesting dialogue.

The first weekend in October is our celebration of the havest. On Saturday 6th we gather at 7:30 pm to enjoy a "harvest supper", this year followed by a lively jazz band entertaining us.  On Sunday 7th, during our regular worship service, we bring our harvest offerings and celebrate God's goodness and privision. 

On Sunday 14th October, Revd Ewan King, Minister at Hamstead Baptist Church will lead our worship. Ewan is an emminent jazz pianist and enriches worship whereever he goes. Join us if you can; you will be glad you did!

If you are new to Botley, or Botley Baptist Church, or have been worshipping here for a long time and wish to explore more about Church life, Baptist beliefs and how you can participate in the life of the Church, you are most welcome to join us on Wednesday 3rd October, 2018 at 7:30 pm at the Das' home.
