Taim heven i tatsim graun, wanpela samting i senis insait long yumi long dip level tru. Em i no wanpela 'emotional stirring' o wanpela taim bilong kisim insperesen tasol, tasol em i wanpela bikpela bung wantaim trupela samting bilong kingdom bilong God i kam insait long wol bilong yumi. Jisas i statim wok bilong Em wantaim dispela toksave olsem, "Yupela i mas tanim bel, long wanem, kingdom bilong heven i kam klostu pinis" (Matyu 4:17). Wantaim ol dispela toktok, Em i tokaut olsem heven em i no wanpela longwe ples we yumi ken go long en wanpela de, tasol em i wanpela samting we i stap nau we i wok long kamap klostu long senisim laip, komyuniti, na kriesen yet. Long Runnymede Christian Fellowship, dispela tok tru i save stiaim lotu bilong yumi, wok bilong yumi, na save bilong yumi long wanem samting i min long bihainim Jisas tude. Taim heven i tatsim graun, ol samting nating i save kisim tingting bilong God, na yumi stat long lukim yumi yet na wol long ai bilong bel bilong God.

Dispela samting i kamap ples klia long wanpela narakain rot taim "Tok i kamap man na i stap namel long yumi" (Jon 1:14). Insait long Jisas, heven i bin wokabaut namel long ol manmeri. Pasin sori bilong Em long ol lain i bruk, namba bilong Em long bosim tudak, pasin sori bilong Em long ol lain ol i lusim tingting long ol, na pasin bilong Em long bihainim tok bilong Papa i soim wanem samting i luk olsem taim God i stap. Luk i raitim tok bilong Jisas yet long wok bilong Em: "Spirit bilong Bikpela i stap long mi, long wanem, em i bin makim mi long autim gutnius long ol rabisman... long mekim ol manmeri i stap fri... long tokaut long yia bilong Bikpela i mekim gut long ol" (Luk 4:18-19). Taim heven i tatsim graun, hop i kisim ples bilong bel hevi, fridom i brukim ol sen, na ol lain husat i ting ol i no inap lukim ol i painimaut olsem God i bin bihainim ol long olgeta taim.

Jisas i no soim tasol kingdom; Em i singautim mipela long go insait long en. Em i lainim ol disaipel bilong Em long beten olsem, “Kingdom bilong yu i kam, laik bilong yu i mas kamap long graun olsem ol i save mekim long heven” (Matyu 6:9-10). Dispela prea em i wanpela laik na wanpela wok bilong givim wok. Taim yumi prea long ol dispela tok, yumi stretim bel bilong yumi wantaim ol tingting bilong God, na askim Em long bringim rul bilong Em, stretpela pasin bilong Em, bel isi bilong Em, na stap bilong Em i kam insait long wol bilong yumi long rot bilong yumi. Na taim yumi bihainim Spirit bilong Em, heven i stat long senisim ol laik bilong yumi, mekim pasin bilong yumi i kamap malumalum, na senisim yumi long insait i go aut.

Dispela strong bilong senisim man i kamap ples klia long taim bilong Pentikos. Taim Holi Spirit i kapsait na "olgeta i pulap... na ol i stat long toktok long ol narapela tokples olsem Spirit i strongim ol" (Aposel 2:1-4), heven i tatsim graun i no long wanpela man tasol, Jisas, tasol long wanpela komyuniti i gat strong long karim presens bilong Em. Samting i bin stat long wanpela rum antap i bin kapsait i go long ol strit, na brukim ol kalsa na tokples, na pulim ol manmeri i go insait long stori bilong God. Bihain Aposel i tok Jisas em i wanpela man "em i bin makim... wantaim Holi Spirit na strong... na em i bin raun na mekim gutpela pasin na oraitim olgeta manmeri i stap aninit long strong bilong tewel" (Aposel 10:38). Nau, long rot bilong Spirit, dispela wankain anointing i stap antap long ol lain bilong Em, na i mekim yumi inap long go het wantaim wok bilong Em long wanem hap yumi stap long en.

Taim heven i tatsim graun insait long yumi, yumi stat long lait wantaim lait we i no kam long yumi yet. Jisas i tok, "Yupela i lait bilong graun... larim lait bilong yupela i lait long ai bilong ol manmeri, bai ol i ken lukim ol gutpela pasin bilong yupela na litimapim nem bilong Papa bilong yupela i stap long heven" (Matyu 5:14-16). Dispela lait i no bilong mekim wok o kamap gutpela olgeta, tasol Krais i stap insait long yumi. Pol i tok long dispela tok hait olsem "Krais i stap insait long yupela, em i hop bilong glori" (Kolosi 1:27). Heven i tatsim graun i min olsem Jisas i stap insait long ol bilipman nating, na i mekim yumi i kamap olsem ol laip witnes bilong lav bilong God we i save mekim yumi i kamap wanbel gen.

Long dispela as, ol i kolim yumi ol ambasada bilong Krais, na ol i givim wok bilong stretim bek ol manmeri (2 Korin 5:20). Heven i save tatsim graun long rot bilong yumi taim yumi givim fogivnes long ol ples we pasin bilong bel nogut i bin stap bipo, taim yumi toktok long bel isi insait long ol ples we i gat wari, taim yumi karim pasin sori i go insait long ol toktok na ples wok, na taim yumi soim hop long ol samting we ol narapela i bin rausim. Olgeta wok bilong lav em i wanpela windo we kingdom i kamap ples klia.

Stori bilong Skripsa i soim long bihain taim we heven na graun bai stap wanbel tru. Jon i stori long wanpela de we God bai stap wantaim ol manmeri, we "Em bai rausim olgeta aiwara... bai i no gat moa dai o krai o krai o pen... Man i bin sindaun long sia king i tok olsem, 'Mi mekim olgeta samting i kamap nupela!'" (Revelesen 21:3-5). Inap long dispela de, olgeta taim we heven i tatsim graun em i wanpela 'foretaste' bilong 'renewal' we bai kamap.

Long yumi, invitesen i klia: long stap olsem ol man i karim God i stap, na larim kingdom bilong Em i kam insait long laip bilong yumi, ol haus bilong yumi, taun bilong yumi, na ol narapela hap. Taim heven i tatsim graun, yumi kamap olsem evidens i stap laip olsem God i wok long muv yet, i wok long kisim bek, na i kam klostu yet.

Planning your Visit

Welcome to Runnymede Christian Fellowship, an Egham Church

Runnymede Christian Fellowship is a church based in Egham but serving a much larger geographical area. Those who call us home come from Egham, Virginia Water, Staines, Englefield Green, Egham Hythe, Pooley Green, Maidenhead, Heathrow, Slough, Ashford, Thorpe, Windsor, Woking and beyond.

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!
