November Update
/Update From Your Pastors
Dear Welling Church family,
This past year has been challenging for many of us and for our country. Many have experienced a genuine sense of fear and isolation or know somebody who has. With all that has happened, we want to encourage you to remain faithful to the Lord and pray for one another. It hasn’t been easy, but as long as we continue ministering to one another and our community, we will get through this together.
As you many of you already know, we are entering our next lockdown starting from 5 November and going until at least 2 December. During this time, all of our church meetings, small groups, discipleship, and prayer times will be moved online or on zoom. The only exception to this is Baby Steps, which will continue to meet in-person on Wednesdays following Government guidance. Please make it a point and put these times in your diaries to continue making God and the fellowship of His people a priority in your life.
We want to encourage you this November to engage with your church family as much as you can — whether that means you meet online, over the phone, on text, or at our weekly small groups. We want to challenge you to continue growing in your faith even when life is unpredictable.
This coming Sunday, we will be conducting a special service for Remembrance Sunday. We will be having a special speaker and friend Jonathan Gardner from Hayes Lane Baptist Church joining us. Please join our livestream 10 minutes earlier as we will be starting early (around 10:50am) in order to have our 2 minute moment of silence to remember all those who have served and sacrificed for the freedoms that we all enjoy.
For the rest of November, Tarl will begin a new series called “Where is Your Treasure?”. We will be focusing on the importance of knowing what our real treasure is and how this affects the way we live. In every area of our lives, we can trust the faithfulness of God and His provision. Please make sure to not miss our Sunday morning worship time as we begin this series.
Here are all the important dates to remember for November:
Wednesday Small Groups will be only on Zoom starting 11 November
(4 November in-person & Zoom)Baby Steps will continue to meet in-person on Wednesday following Government guidance
Adventures Club will start meeting on Zoom this Friday 19:30-21:00

15 November - NEXT (Vision Night & AGM) 18:00 via Zoom
22 November - Men’s Bible Study 18:00 via Zoom
29 November - Women’s Bible Study 18:00 via Zoom
Lastly, we would like to remind you that our God is steadfast, faithful, and dependable. He is in control of our lives, our families, and our church. This year, along with all that has happened, has not been a surprise to Him. As believers in Him and His word, we can remain unmovable and unshakeable during this time. There is no area of your life that you cannot completely trust Him with your life.
