Doing good

You may have heard the saying what goes around comes around?

I know a dear lady who has a wonderfully kind personality, and I've often wondered if there are some who would take advantage of her good nature. Many times I’ve thought to myself that she should screen her calls better, take on a firmer tone, or perhaps point people elsewhere when they bring their issues and concerns, many of which generally end in a request for a bit of money.🫤
Nonetheless she remains gracious, often sharing words of encouragement, Godly wisdom, humor, and yes the occasional pound.😇

Recently this lady took a flight by herself, and with slightly limited mobility, she had been concerned about the challenges of navigating crowds at an airport while juggling her bags through unfamiliar corridors.

She later told me what a stress free journey it had turned out to be, from the gracious cab driver, to the ready assistance of airport security staff, ending with a smooth and immediate airport transfer at the other end. She marvelled at the unexpected kindnesses she had encountered, and remarked on how amazed she felt to see people going out of their way to make her comfortable, instead of the brusqueness, stress and long waits she had feared.👀. I remembered telling her how often she herself has gone the extra mile for others, and it was only fair that she meets with gracious people in return.

The bible says in Proverbs 11:25 that… “he who helps others will be helped himself.” You simply never know when you might need someone to refresh your sagging spirits, go out of their way for you, or just say a kind or encouraging word at the very moment you need it.

With this in mind, if you have the time, means and ability to make a kind choice without expecting reward, is it not the better thing to do? Who knows what door our kindness will unlock...🤔

Verse of the month..

Galatians 6: 9 Let us not grow weary of doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.

Planning your Visit

Greetings from Christ Church!

Easter -daffodils

Located on McDermott road, we are 5-10 minutes walk from Peckham Rye Train Station, or 10 mins walk from the Nigel Road bus stop on Peckham Rye ( Buses 343, 12 etc).

Our Sunday mornings begin with a warm welcome from our greeters and our service begins at 11am with an invitation to join in thanksgiving and praise to God.

The church is made up of people from all walks of life who have a common belief in Jesus and His love for each one of us. We love to see new people and we really hope that you will feel right at home.

You may be interested to know that Christ Church McDermott was the site of the first Religious Radio Broadcast to a UK Church (watch re-enactment here), and has featured on Songs of Praise on 1/9/24. You can view clips of that show on twitter or facebook.

Our worship is a comfortable mix of contemporary songs as well as familiar well loved hymns, and we encourage young and old to join together in song.

We look forward to a time of refreshing and encouragement as we put time aside to spend with God and with each other.
