亲眼见证上帝的作为，会对我们的生活产生影响。

基督徒生命中最伟大的转变之一，发生在我们开始不仅在圣经的篇章或教堂的墙壁中，也在我们平凡生活的日常琐事中看到上帝之时。那一刻，信仰从理论走向经验，从耳闻变为亲身经历。这种觉察，这种看到上帝作为的觉察，改变了一切。

对我们许多人来说，挑战不在于上帝不在，而在于生活忙碌喧嚣，充斥着各种相互冲突的优先事项。我们奔波于各种任务之间，常常没有意识到圣灵正悄然地将恩典、指引和机遇编织进我们日常生活的点点滴滴。当我们学会留意祂的作为时，同样的世界会呈现出截然不同的面貌。一次例行的通勤变成了与上帝的对话。一次棘手的会议变成了获得祂智慧的机会。一次偶然的相遇变成了一次神圣的约会。

看到上帝的作为始于一种态度。它需要我们预备好去辨认祂的印记。我们可能会像以马忤斯路上的门徒一样，与耶稣同行却浑然不觉。他们掌握了所有事实，接受了所有教导，却直到双眼被开启才看见祂。我们也是如此。神早已与我们同在；问题在于我们是否留心聆听。

当我们注意到祂时，许多事情便开始发生。

首先，它能建立信心。我们越是意识到神的参与，就越信赖祂。我们开始看到祂的始终如一，祂常常在我们甚至不知道自己需要什么之前就预备妥当。当朋友及时送来一句安慰，当解决方案在恰当的时机出现，或者当原本混乱的局面最终归于平静，我们便开始明白其中的缘由。信心的增长不仅来自阅读有关神品格的记载，更来自亲眼见证祂的作为。

其次，它塑造我们的抉择。当我们明白神并非遥不可及，我们的选择便不再出于焦虑，而是更多地出于与神合一的考量。我们会提出不同的问题：不再仅仅是“我该做什么？”，而是“主啊，你在这里做什么？我该如何与你同在？”这种微妙的转变改变了我们领导、工作以及与他人相处的方式。它赋予平凡生活以意义，赋予迷茫以信心。

第三，看到上帝的作为改变了我们应对困境的方式。挑战不再是障碍，而是邀请。我们不再问“为什么会发生这种事？”，而是问“上帝通过这件事在我身上塑造了什么？”这并非轻视痛苦或假装一切都轻而易举，而是让我们脚踏实地。我们意识到，上帝与我们同在，祂不仅在山巅，也在低谷；祂常常在我们本能地回避的地方，施展祂最深刻的塑造。

第四，它加深了我们的感恩之心。感恩并非仅仅是对美好事物的礼貌回应，而是认识到上帝作为的果实。当我们意识到祂在我们日常生活中的作用时，感恩便成为一种自然而然的感受。我们不再将生活中的点点滴滴视为理所当然，而是将它们视为恩赐。即使是微小的祝福，一个宁静的清晨，一条鼓励的信息，一项任务的完成，都提醒我们上帝与我们的生活息息相关。

但或许最显著的改变在于：看到上帝的作为重塑了我们的身份认同。我们不再将自己视为必须努力奋斗、有所作为或掌控结果的人，而是开始明白，我们是上帝故事的参与者。我们并不孤单，无需独自摸索。祂与我们同在，在我们里面，也透过我们动工。

那么，我们该如何培养这种觉知呢？

我们放慢脚步。我们聆听。我们邀请上帝进入我们生活的方方面面，而不仅仅是属灵的层面。我们祈求祂开启我们的双眼，让我们看到祂已经在做什么。我们学习反思的艺术，回顾一天、一周或一个季度，追溯祂的同在。我们将我们与他人分享对上帝的感悟，从而增强我们周围群体的信仰。

当我们看到上帝的作为时，生活变得更加丰富、更有意义、更有希望。我们带着期待行走于世，深知永活的上帝并非局限于圣地，而是在我们生活、工作和领导的每一个角落都积极地运行。而这种觉知，安静、坚定、充满改变的力量，将带来巨大的不同。

Our church is a community of believers who gather regularly to share life and demonstrate God's love. We do this by encouraging and serving each other and the community. We believe in the power of prayer and are always happy to pray for you.

Church - What to expect

Our Sunday service is available to stream online at 11:00 a.m. You can join us on Livestream or via Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube or X (Twitter).

The Sunday Service is now held at Strodes College, Strodes College Lane in Egham open to all, so if you would like to join us, please feel free to do so. If you have any questions, please call us on 01784 637010.

We run a physical Sunday School most weeks. If you would like your children to receive a weekly Sunday School teaching pack that you can do from home, please email us at admin@e-runnymede.co.uk so that we can send you the materials.

Church on Sunday at Strodes College, Egham

Our Sunday service starts at 11:00 a.m. and typically lasts about 90 minutes.

We begin each service with lively worship, featuring songs from around the world, followed by inspiring, Bible-based teaching. All our sermons are recorded and are available as a podcast after the service.

We have a monthly cycle of Sunday services, with our Communion Service being on the first Sunday of each month and an All-Age All-Nation Service on the second Sunday of each month. Our other Sunday services include Spirit-focused and teaching services.

We have consciously adopted being a blended church, that is, both online and face-to-face. You are welcome to join us on Livestream or via Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, or X (Twitter), or you can catch up and watch the recordings later.

Joining us in person

Visiting a new and unfamiliar church for the first time can be intimidating, but we want to ensure you feel welcome and enjoy your time with us. A friendly face will be waiting to meet you at the entrance and welcome you.

Doors open at 10:30 a.m. for coffee and prayer. Our Sunday Service starts at 11:00 a.m. and typically runs for about 90 minutes, normally followed by tea and coffee.

Driving and Car Parking

Our Sunday Morning Service is now held at Strodes College, Strodes College Lane, Egham, TW20 9DR, which has ample parking. Click on the link for directions to RCF.

We have plenty of parking spaces right outside the building. Spaces are reserved near the entrance for anyone with mobility issues (those with a blue badge). Please let us know if you need to use one of these spaces, have any special needs, or require any assistance.

The car parking area is a public area, so please ensure that your children are under your control and that, for their safety, they do not run around in the car park.

Visiting with children?

Everyone is welcome at RCF. We encourage everyone, regardless of age, to join the service. We offer Sunday School, which begins after worship and runs concurrently with the sermon for 30 to 40 minutes, serving children aged 4 to 12. On the second Sunday of each month, we have a shorter All-Aged All Nations Service, where the children stay for the worship and the sermon.

After Church

We chat over coffee and biscuits after church on the first, third, fourth and fifth Sundays. If you want to get more acquainted, why not join us for a Sunday lunch with some of our members? The first meal is on us (Voucher provided). Please contact us and let us know. We would love to share a meal and get to know you better!
