Happy New Year!
"5, 4, 3, 2, 1... Happy New Year!!"
Unless you've been living in a hole the past few weeks, you'll know that 2009 has come to its inevitable end and 2010 is in full swing!
Most would saw this as an excuse to get drunk and generally do things they now regret. But at BFGC we saw an opportunity to thank God for 2009 and pray for His continued blessings in 2010. Which is why we be held a special New Year's Eve service with our sister church, London Shepherd Church in New Malden.
Brixton Full Gospel Church would like to wish you all a happy and successful 2010! If you're not a Christian, get to know God and He will be your constant guide throughout this new year.
Come to church, come to life!

The spoken Word
"In His death, we have come to know life..."
Growing up in church and a single-parent home, Amena Brown grew up struggling to trust God. She now expresses her love for God by performing spoken word poetry. Amazing!

Happy B-Day, BFGC!
"With God, all numbers are lucky... well, except that one with the sixes!"
Sunday September 20 was Brixton Full Gospel Church's 13th anniversary. So of course we had ourselves a celebration at the Bonneville Centre!
Since the church opened in September 1996, we've seen people come through the doors from all over the world. Good friends and loved ones that have joined our wonderful extended family.
In that time, we've also opened branches in New Malden and Chippenham, gaining many new friends as a result - all of which have added to the BFGC family.

LSC @ 1
Sunday May 3, BFGC joined its sister church, London Shepherd Church, in New Malden to celebrate its 1st annivesary.
The festivities kicked-off with a special service followed by a buffet lunch of international food (including cake!), and ended with a visit to nearby Richmond Park.
Since throwing open its doors just one short year ago, the church has grown in faith and number. And LSC's 2nd year should be no different. So here's to another year of fun and frolics!

God's hotline?
An article on the BBC website raises interesting questions about how little time people make for God in their lives. But do we really need a hotline to God?
An art exhibition in the Netherlands will provide a number for people to call and leave messages for God. The artist, Johan van der Dong, says he wants to show that God is available anywhere, and at any time.
The project has been criticised, with some claiming it mocks religious beliefs. But exhibition spokeswoman, Susanna Groot, said their intention was not to offend but to provoke debate about the priorities of modern life.
"In earlier times you would go to a church to say a prayer and now [here is an] opportunity to just make a phone call and say your prayer in a modern way," she said.
The Bible says you don't need a mobile phone or any other medium to communicate with God. You need only pray and trust in Him, and God will answer you.
"...He answered their prayers, because they trusted in Him" - 1 Chron 5:20
