New Year, New Location
Welcome to the Britten Grove Baptist Church website. You find us at an exciting time. We are outgrowing our current location and from 15th January 2012 we are relocating to the SNAP centre in Walnut Tree. This move opens up many exciting opportunities for us as a church.
We are an exciting young church which is seeking to transform the lives of people in the areas surrounding Walnut Tree on the Eastern edge of the new city of Milton Keynes.
Our church consists of people from many different backgrounds and who are young and old, all seeking to learn more about our saviour Jesus Christ through the inspired word found in the Bible.
We aim to provide ministry to all our membership both in the Sunday service and throughout the rest of the week.
We would deeply love to see you at one of our regular services and hope to see you soon.
A New Year is Upon Us.
There is an interested Bible verse found in Luke 2:52: And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men.
If you were to ponder that for just a moment that Jesus grew
; what a lovely example for us. With a new year, we all have the opportunity to grow by setting new goals, beginning new habits, aiming toward new horizons.
I, for one, have joined a local gym. It is my goal to exercise at least 3 times - and I may even take in a kick boxing class – I've enjoyed that in the past!
It’s been said that our brain is a muscle that is often under stimulated – so true! So, I’ve also set goals that will challenge me academically by reading books, web articles and periodicals that will challenge my mind. I've also set goals to improve musically via guitar lessons and perhaps learning to play a mandolin or banjo? We shall see!
Spiritually, I am planning to read my Bible through in 2012. Throughout the Gospels we see the example of Jesus reading the Scriptures and praying to the Father! That is what I desire to do... improve my thinking by reflecting of God's promises and taking my needs to my heavenly Father.
Whatever your goals, I do hope you will be growing in 2012. And if you are not a regular church attendee, please join us for a service. BGBC is a friendly group of people. We endeavour to make Jesus relevant in our services, Bible study groups, children and teen clubs, and community.
One last thing, if you desire to read your Bible through, notice that our webmaster, Mark, has create a simple way read and hear a small portion of the Bible each day. If you follow this daily, as I will, you can read through the Bible yourself in 2012. Happy New Year!
