There’s this moment in Luke 8, when Jesus is speaking with his disciples, and they’re asking him to explain the parable of the sower. And Jesus tells them, “the knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you, but to others I speak in parables, so that ‘though seeing, they may not see; though hearing, they may not understand.’”
This Summer, we’ll be having a series of different classes to help train us up for the future.
Our Worship Training, hosted by Ben, will be looking through parts of the WorshipCentral course, having discussion and helping us grow as worshippers.
Thursday Nights: July 4, 11, 18, 25
What’s it all about?
Alpha is a chance to explore life and the Christian faith in a friendly, open and informal environment.
Starting on Thursday 16th May, Alpha consists of a meal together, then a talk on a different aspect of the Christian faith each week (over 11 weeks) followed by conversation and discussion where you are open to ask any question and share your thoughts. We hope you will come and join us.
We challenge anyone not to love a good quiz night! It’s an excellent and fun evening of getting your thinking caps on, and bonding with old friends and making new friends…!
Of the pivotal turning points in a Christian’s life, one is the moment they become a Christian, the next moment is when they decide to take up the decision to declare their faith in the form of baptism. (And I know, with faith, God grants more and more spiritual defining moments later on too!)
Spring is finally here! And to mark that, Pancake day is upon us as of this Tuesday! And by default, the Lent season begins the following day, on Wednesday 6th March. Lent marks the 40 days prior to Easter Sunday, a period of fasting, or focusing our time on God.
on Saturday 9th March,
come along between 11am-2pm,
at the BCEC, 14 Upper Gough St. B1 1JG
We’re thrilled to announce that there’s a lot of goodies up for grabs! There’s Arts & Crafts, Jewellery, and Chinese desserts and snacks, as well as western baked goods too! There’s also rumours of live-music too, which we’re super excited about!

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.
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.)
“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.
