The Terror of Night..

Do you ever have those 3-4am wake-ups when your mind just won’t switch off from whatever issue is at hand?😟

Whilst I am generally not given to being fearful, the other day an incident happened which left me shaken and upset. It didn’t help that my mind subsequently replayed the incident in different ways at night time, leaving me with a general feeling of worry and anxiety. 🫣

Often the one thing that works for me is turning my mind toward the things of God. Whether it’s songs, verses or prayers, all of these are helpful in pulling my thoughts away from the downward spiral.

The bible assures us in 2nd Timothy 1:7, “..that God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.” Psalm 91,and the verse in Isaiah 54:17 which says “..No weapon formed against you shall prosper..” are also excellent ones to call upon in the night time. 🔊

So dear reader, if you sometimes wake up with general feelings of gloom, worry or fear, morning or night, anchor yourself to God and His word. Speak that verse or encouraging song out loud, bringing these to mind as often as you need to in faith, and with the authority you have in Christ.💪

May God’s peace strengthen and keep you on your journey this month.🙏

Verse of the month..Psalm 91:5

..You will not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day..

Upcoming speakers:

👉 Sunday Nov 8th - Remembrance service
👉 Sunday Nov 15th – Tim Fielder (Morning service only)
👉 Sunday Nov 22nd Bill Caldwell (All day)
👉 Sunday Nov 29th - Nigel Barrow (All day)

God bless you and we look forward to seeing you then.

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.
