Due to the very snowy conditions and the prospect of more of the same over the rest of the weekend, we have decided to cancel the evening service.

The 11 a.m. morning service and Sunday Club will go ahead as usual. Please take care if you do come out to join us in the morning.

If you missed Steve Lawson (or any other recent service at EBC) click on audio files and listen online.

A reminder to all you YOUTH CLUBBERS (the old ones as well) that we are having Youth Club this coming Friday (4th April) one week earlier than normal because too many people are away over the holiday.

Usual time 7-9. See you all there!

Good Friday - excellent time was had by all; challenging sermons, scrumy tea; great singing and music - what more can be said!!
Easter Wedding - a bonus to the holiday weekend and didn't they all look lovely?
Easter Sunday Family Service - everyone that took part did brilliantly and it was great to see so many visitors. The (inside) Easter egg hunt was again very popular.

The 458 Anniversary services will be held at 3:30 pm and 6:00 pm on Friday March 21st. Tea will be served between the services. The speak this year is John Glass from Grace Church Geneva. The Silver Band, choir, children's choir and music group will be contributing to the services. Everyone is welcome to attend and there will be special arrangements for children during the 3:30 service

10.30 this Christmas morning. All welcome!

Celebrate the coming of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.

And children - bring your favourite toy to share with everyone.

The band had another busy day today; they played at Nonnington Parish Church this afternoon and (a reduced number) played at the Crown in Eythorne this evening. Their carol playing was enjoyed by those in both places.

Some of the youth and Andrew are off to CANTY this weekend with a load of other YP from local Baptist churches. This year they are taking over the facilities at Victoria Baptist Church in Deal. Pray for them - and for the leaders!

All gifts of food will go to St Martin's, Emauss.

There will also be a gift from the church towards the work of BMS World Mission who we will hear more about during the service.

Hope lots of you will join the church family for a day of fun.

We hope lots of the children and their families will join us for a taste Holiday Club. Refreshments will be served at the end of the service.

On Sunday 17th June the Lord called home Gwen Hayley. Gwen was a church member and served her Lord here at Eythorne for many years. Her funeral will take place at the church at 1.30pm on Wednesday 27th June.

Sorry about the short notice but ...
this afternoon between 2 and 5 pm Geoff Chapman from Creation resources Trust (www.c-r-t.co.uk) will be speaking at Birchington Baptist Church. Refreshments are provided. It looks like it will be an interesting afternoon.
