Our Greatest Need

Quote 4 2day title logo Blog

If our greatest need had been money, God would have sent a financier; if pleasure, an entertainer. As it is forgiveness, He sent a Saviour. – Nicky Gumbel

Prayer 4 2day wireless logo

Father in heaven, I know that I have broken your laws and that my sins have separated me from you. I now want to turn away from my past sinful life.

Please forgive me, andย help me avoid sinning again.
I believe that you sent your sonย Jesus Christ, who died for my sins,ย was resurrected from the dead, andย is now alive.ย I invite Jesus toย become the Lord of my lifeโ€”to ruleย and reign in my heart from this dayforward.

Please send me your Holyย Spirit to help me to obey you, and
to do your will for the rest of my life.

In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.

Description

We spent a morning visiting the beautiful village of Shere walking around the Church building, blacksmiths & the few shops.

Shereย is a village in theย Guildford districtย ofย Surrey,ย Englandย about 6 miles (9.7ย km) east ofย Guildfordย and 4 miles (6.4ย km) west ofย Dorking, bypassed by theย A25. It is a small village with many traditional English features. It has a small central cluster of old village houses, shops including a blacksmith and trekking shop, tea house, art gallery, two pubs and aย Norman-era church. Shere has a museum which opens most afternoons at weekends. Theย Tillingbourneย stream runs through the centre of the village.

The church is Norman, most being 12th, 13th and 14th century, ofย ironstoneย rubble with sandstone buttresses, restored in 1895 by S. Weatherley. By the north chancel wall there is a 14th century quatrefoil window and squint – belonging to Anchorite Cell. There is 14th century glass in the east window and the chancel fittings were renewed in 1956 by Louis Osmanโ€ฆโ€ฆ.read moreโ€ฆ.

Quote from website:ย We are a Church of England (Anglican) parish church in a beautiful area of Epsom, Surrey. We are part of theย Guildford Diocese,ย which covers much of Surrey and part of North-east Hampshire. We also have responsibility forย Christ Church on the Wells, our church plant, which meets on a Sunday at the community centre on the Wells estate (the part of Epsom where Epsom Salts once came from!)

We are also part of the Epsom Group Ministry, a confederation of Anglican churches in Epsom, which includes the churches ofย St Martin with St Stephenon the Downs, and St Barnabas. Along with the Group Ministry, we also have a very good relationship withย Epsom Methodist Church, in the centre of Epsom.

Our beautifulย Victorian churchย (do have a look at theย slide showย or theย photo gallery!) has been home for many years to a lively Christian community. We hope that, if you are able to visit us, you will find space here to discover more about God and the Christian faith, time to pray and reflect, and also the opportunity to make new friends.
