No English Service due to the Retreat
In case you didn’t get the memo, our English congregation will not be meeting for our usual weekly Sunday Morning service this coming Sunday 27th May, due to the large majority of us being away at Kidderminster for our BCEC Retreat.
Church Cancelled due to snow
Hi all,
The English, Cantonese and Mandarin Worship Services for tomorrow, Sunday 4th March, have been cancelled due to large amounts of snow lingering everywhere.
However, if you are online, namely on Facebook or Instagram, we’ll have a short live stream broadcast service from our Pastor’s house. Around 10:30am. (just hit LIKE on our BCEC facebook page.)
40 Days of Faith
“Many things about tomorrow
I don’t seem to understand
But I know who holds tomorrow
And I know who holds my hand”
It was a lovely way to end his testimony account, this brother in Christ, reciting from a song verse from the song “I know who holds tomorrow.”
As a result this one verse has stuck with me since then. And it’s helped remind me:
Tomorrow, we don’t know what will happen.
Tomorrow things might change.
Tomorrow might be good or it might be bad.
Tomorrow is a new day yes.
But tomorrow God is there.
After all, He is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow. And with this knowledge that our God is there tomorrow, I really can trust God wholeheartedly, and have faith in Him.
BCEC Retreat 2018!
This year the BCEC English Congregation are planning a getaway into the countryside for a fun-filled retreat!
We’re looking forward to a wonderful weekend away from the city where we get to take part in fun activities for all the family, attend workshops that will help inspire and equip our everyday walks with God as well as engage in worship and fellowship with brothers and sisters in a beautiful location in the West Midlands.
Church cancelled due to snow
Hi, Looking at all the weather reports and traffic advisories we believe that it will be safer if we cancel church service tomorrow (Sunday 10th December). English service will be cancelled tomorrow for the safety of congregants travelling.
BCEC’s 25th Anniversary
BCEC 25th Anniversary Celebration
on Sunday 17th September 2017
at 10:30am – 3pm
at AUEA, 1 Lister Street, B7 4AG
Please invite your friends and family along as we share in a day of thanksgiving, worship and fellowship with three congregations and languages, while collectively remembering God’s leading.
Emmanuel : God With Us
Part 1
We live in uncertain times. It seems that the world is heading into a greater time of instability than the current generation has experienced before. And it’s on that note, that so many felt that 2016 could not end sooner, in hopes that 2017 might bring better news and better days.
We hope that the weather gets better. We hope for happier times. We hope things improve. But hope, without action, can just be empty notions. You can hope to get a job, but you also have to put in work. You can hope to lose weight, but you have to put in the effort. The hope for the future, doesn’t just happen. It needs action.
The last of 2016
What’s interesting is how the church blog has been so quiet and only been subject to announcements and updates of our worship whereabouts. Please forgive us for the lack of blog updates!
Christmas Day baptism service
Coming up on Christmas Day, this Sunday 25th December, we will have Baptism Services at BCEC Central (14 Upper Gough Street, B1 1JG). Come and join us on this joyous occasion as we witness brothers and sisters get baptised on such a wonderful day!
Church Lunch Sunday!
Church Lunch Sunday this coming Sunday!
After service this Sunday, we’ll be having this thing called “Church Lunch Sunday”! Bring your own lunch, and join us downstairs after service, for a longer time for us to hang out together as a church family, get to know each other better, and spend a good Sunday afternoon together.
Back for Baptism
We have baptisms coming up this Sunday (11th September), so we’ll be back at BCEC Central for our very special baptism service!
Hope you can be part of witnessing our baptisms, please come early to guarantee a space to sit. Should be pretty cosy! Join us!
