EPIC, 27th August 2014

The chapel congregation continues to grow and fellowship and encouragement remain central. As a result the series of new area fellowship groups are being launched. 

Following the recent launch of the first group in Harlow, 12 people gathered for the launch of the second area group - called "EPIC" on the 27th August in Epping. EPIC stands for "Epping in Community", and is intended to be a place of encouragement and outreach especially for those based in the Epping /North Weald and Loughton areas. Other groups are planned in the future as the fellowship continues to grow. 

You are invited to an area group - for more info email - eppinggreenchapel@gmail.com or call 07769 585411. 

Louise Want-Youth Worker Thank You Presentation

Presentations and blessings were made on Sunday, thanking children's and youth worker Louise Want as she moved on from the post at the Chapel after three and a half years. Louise received gifts including a large plant, Next voucher and other "thank you's" as well as love from all the fellowship.

Thank you Louise, and blessing for your future! 

Haven 1 - Church Langley Gathering

The chapel congregation continues to grow and fellowship and encouragement remains central. As a result, a series of new area fellowship groups are being launched. 

Over 20 people gathered for the launch of the first group- "Haven 1" on the 20th August in Church Langley. Haven stands for "Harlow and Villages East & North", and each group is intended to "do what it says on the tin" and be a haven to those involved. Other groups are planned in the Harlow villages area as well as Epping.

Knitting for the Needy!

On the 25th June 2014, a group of ladies in Harlow presented our Pastor Paul Walker with their years worth of hand knitted child and baby clothes to be sent to needy families abroad. 

Church members Jane Walker and Val Foster are going on a mission later in the year to India, where they will pass the clothing on to "Mother Teresa's Roses" in Mumbai, India. 

Here's some photos from the day below:

Summer Wedding: Kirsten and Carl

A great summer wedding took place on 28th June when Kirsten and Carl were married at the Chapel. The Church was packed and despite rain at the start of the service, the weather cleared for some great photos on the green afterwards. The reception was also held in the village at The Travellers Friend opposite the green and chapel. 

Congratulations to the happy couple!
