Probably like a lot of people, I thought life was going ok. Things to improve here and there, but I felt mostly positive, like I was in control.

In theory, every five years we head to the polling station to vote for who is going to be our representative in the UK parliament, this then helps decide which political party is going to take on leadership, who will become the prime minister and then what priorities we are going to make as a […]

Hi, my name’s Craig and I’m working on my Disney addiction. I grew up a child of one of the greatest eras that animated movies ever knew.

“Let’s see how inventive we can be in encouraging love and helping out, not avoiding worshiping together as some do but spurring each other on, especially as we see the big Day approaching.” Hebrews 10: 24-25 The Message The move online I was fascinated how, when churches decided we could not meet together physically, and […]

In the pre coronavirus world, I attended a younger leaders’ weekend. At the conference Guy Miller spoke to us about prayer. So, I thought in this time of having both lots of need and opportunity for prayer, I would share my notes from that talk, I found them really helpful and hopefully you will too.  […]

With all the coronavirus panic buying going on and the culture of fear that has developed in our nation; more than ever it is so important that the community and family values of BFC are in our thinking.  We have good news to share with this community and the surrounding villages and hamlets, that of […]

As I communicated last week, as elders and trustees we have been closely monitoring the situation with Covid-19 (Cornavirus) and in line with government advice we are taking various measures to ensure that people are kept as safe as possible.
