Read about our new Lent Course!
To coincide with the period of Lent, we are holding a four-week series of "alpha" type evenings, the first one on Friday 26th February. Each of the four consecutive Friday evenings will start at 7:00pm with a meal and this will be followed by a DVD featuring Jeff Lucas, an internationally acclaimed author, speaker and bible teacher. After watching the DVD there will be an opportunity to discuss the subject of the presentation in small groups. Each evening will be expected to finish no later than 9:00pm.
Everybody is welcome and if you'd like to attend, please contact our co-ordinator - Geoff Rothery on 01227 265276 or via email.
Anniversary Celebrations!
Did you miss our 140th Anniversary Celebrations? I hope not! We had a splendid weekend: people came from far and wide - more than 70 people signed our “Visitors’ Book” when they visited our “Open Day” and exhibition of photographs and memorabilia over the weekend, more than 100 sat down to a traditional “Baptist Tea” on Saturday afternoon, and the congregations at both our Sunday services were doubled! Truly a great occasion! Thank you to everyone who helped to make it happen and to all those who were able to visit us.
 To coincide with this Anniversary we have produced a new history book (can you have “new” history?) which charts the ups and downs of our church over those 140 years. It contains the complete text of the two booklets produced for our earlier anniversaries - the 75th (1944) and 100th (1969), and some previously unpublished articles from earlier ministers and members. The final section covers the forty years since 1969 and brings it right up to date. It costs £5.00 and you can order your own copy on-line here.
Incidentally, to coincide with our Anniversary, the local “Whitstable Times” newspaper published an article - “From Prison Cell to Pulpit” - an intriguing headline which referred to an incident in 1908 when the minister at the time caused no little concern by preaching on the street corner! A full transcript of the case, as reported in the Canterbury Herald of 15th August 1908, may be seen here.
