KERITH MAGAZINE
Hello and welcome to the 10th edition of Kerith’s LinK magazine... ...highlighting not only what is going on in the life of our church, but also featuring interviews with people from the church and the wider community. In October 2012 I was in Serenje, Zambia, visiting the HIV/AIDS project we support and seeing the amazing progress which has been made. One of the things that struck me whilst there, was the ability for instant contact with the UK via my iphone. What once would have taken weeks to send a message by boat, is now immediate thanks to Facebook, Twitter and my mobile phone. This January we're going to be starting a Sunday series called "Keep in Touch", looking at how we can have a similar instant relationship with God, not through Facebook or Twitter, but through prayer. It would be great if you were able to join us - come and see how your life could be revolutionised by getting closer to God. I do hope you enjoy reading this 10th edition of LinK.
Simon.

I don't know about you, but I'm terrible at keeping in touch with people who I don't meet up with on a regular basis. It's not that I'm unfriendly (at least I hope I'm not!) or that I don't care, it’s just that if I'm not regularly face to face with people I struggle to maintain the relationship. Even in an age of Facebook, Twitter and Skype, unless people are contacting me I'm really not good at initiating contact with them. I find it can be the same in my relationship with God. For the first 18 years of my life I didn't believe that God existed, so never even considered talking to Him or trying to get to know Him. When I became a follower of Jesus, I'd talk to God when I was in church or if I ever managed to read my Bible during the day. As soon as I got back into 'normal' life, at work or spending time with friends, I'd totally forget about God He just didn't figure in my day. Yet if God is real then there is nowhere we go where He isn't. And if He is real, why wouldn't we want to involve Him in everything we do? The Psalmist King David, (the same guy who killed Goliath), puts it this way in Psalm 139: Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence? If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there. If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast. If I say, “Surely the darkness will hide me and the light become night around me,” even the darkness will not be dark to you; the night will shine like the day, for darkness is as light to you. Psalm 139:7-12 NIV
s i m o n b e n h a m
David is saying that wherever we go and whatever happens to us, God is there in every situation - not as a disinterested presence, but as someone who wants to be involved in every aspect of our lives. In January we're going to start a preaching series on Sundays called "Keep in Touch". We will cover six aspects of prayer, looking at different ways of keeping in touch with God and seeing what an amazing difference it can make to involve Him in everything we say and do. We never know what each day holds, but as we invite God into our day, we will be amazed at what He will do! Talking to God is not about putting on airs and graces or using fancy language, it’s about sharing our everyday moments, things that are on our heart, with the ultimate best friend! For now let me leave you with some thoughts from a pastor called Rick Warren about how we can focus on God throughout our days:

Great food – man friendly
The course is a real eye opener. It makes you look at yourself, your partner and your marriage in a completely different light. It has certainly strengthened and enhanced our marriage. I have already recommended it to everyone
It gave us the opportunity for open discussion, understanding and growing together. Next course starts February 5th 7:30pm
Easy going atmosphere. We’ve both learnt great skills to build our marriage on.
It has been very helpful in conflict resolution. The course was really well structured and we were made to feel very welcome.
This course has been great for us. I have already recommended it to several people.

Rob and Lorraine Hart are part of the Kerith community and were married in 2010. Lorraine had been married before.
LORRAINE:
MY STORY When I got married I was sure it would be for life, divorce was not an option for me. For 7 years I remained in a controlling and at times, abusive relationship. I became desperately unhappy as my heart’s desires and dreams were slowly being crushed, including 4 years of trying for a family.
In January 2007, something inside me snapped - I decided that I would be happier to be single for the rest of my life, than married to my husband. By February of that year, I had moved out of the marital home and the relief was incredible. My friends and family remarked that I had “got my laugh back” - over the years, it had disappeared. Although there was relief, it was really tough too. I moved four times between February 2007 and August 2009, continuing to pay both rent and half of the mortgage. I had little money but God provided and I survived. Many of the people around me wanted me to go back to my husband but despite the excruciating pain of the situation, I felt I could not return. I kept pouring out my heart to God and He reminded me: ‘My grace is sufficient for you’(2 Cor 12v9). I had never known God so close: I felt that I didn’t deserve God’s love and care because of my actions, yet he was still protecting and loving me. Behind the scenes, God was preparing a new future and a rescue plan for me: I had known my best friend’s brother,
Rob Hart, since I was 18 years old but with him being 3 years younger than me, I had never given him a second thought (it’s a big deal when you’re 18 and he’s 15!) When Rob asked to meet up with me, I thought at least I might gain a friend out of it, so I agreed. What I didn’t realise was that in the years that had passed, Rob had grown into a real gentleman and pretty much swept me off my feet! By May 2010 we were married. Divorce is a hideous process, not just in practical terms but also the emotional pain can be unbearable. I would never want to go through it again. So, Rob and I fiercely protect our time together, ensuring that we have a date night regularly, along with weekends away when we can -nothing is more important than keeping our relationship watered and alive. It is also critical to say things just ‘how they are’ rather than making them polite or diluted in any way. This has been vital when bad experiences from the past have reared their heads. The other news is that Rob and I naturally conceived a beautiful baby girl, Jessica - God is truly giving me the desires of my heart. I am still a work in progress; I still have the occasional nightmares about experiences from my previous marriage and I have insecurities that result from 7 years in a bad marriage, but God is good!

WORSHIP LEADERS FAVOURITES KERITHDIRECTORY
Eileen Scott: O Holy Night
I love to sing most Christmas carols, so it’s hard to choose a favourite! I like the tradition of bringing them out when December arrives, it gets me all nostalgic about childhood Christmases. I’ve chosen ‘O Holy Night’ as my favourite. This carol is as close to a worship song as we know it here at Kerith. The words make it easy to really worship to, rather than singing old language that you don’t quite understand the meaning of. I like that it draws the parallel of shepherds and wise men bowing down before Jesus all those years ago, and us doing the same on earth now and then forever with God in heaven. The line ‘Oh hear the angel voices’ reminds me that angels join us in our worship all the time, not just at Christmas. Apart from that, it’s just really fun to sing – especially attempting the extra high note right at the end!
as Christmas is now upon us we decided to catch up with our worship leaders to Amanda Wolfram: In the Bleak Midwinter I have loved poetry since I was very young and so the carol I have chosen is, ‘In the Bleak Mid Winter’. Originally written by Christina Rossetti, the beautiful words were set to the most enchanting and haunting melody composed by Gustav Holst. They set an icy scene using poetic imagery and go on to tell a story which journeys the life of Jesus from the first to the second coming. But the climax comes in the final verse where we are challenged to consider our response to God’s generous gift of His Son. What can we give Him that even comes close to His overwhelming generosity? The only possible thing of value is to give our hearts - simply, completely and unequivocally. Will you give Him your heart this Christmas?!

KERITH MAGAZINE
Helen Cottee: O Little Town of Bethlehem There’s something about this carol that ‘gets’ me every time I hear it. It describes how the most amazing night in the history of the world almost sneaked up on a tiny, not so significant town, pretty much unnoticed. There’s something about the simplicity of the carol that mirrors the lack of pomp and ceremony that surrounded the birth of our Saviour. My favourite part of the carol has to be how this is then applied to us, as the lyrics declare the line ‘Be born in us today’. The reality is that now, today, He can come to each of us, not as a baby but as a King, to give us a new birth and a new start. It ends with the amazing declaration that He is ‘Emmanuel’ - God with us; a truth that truly can change our lives.
ers to ask them about their favourite Christmas carols. Here’s what they told us...
Originally written by Charles Wesley and later re sculpted by others including George Whitefield, this work was carefully crafted over many years (encouragement for every songwriter who returns years later to the creative idea scribbled on the back of an envelope). Those who were inspired to write and rewrite this song were passionate about communicating the magnitude of God’s name, love and redemptive work in mankind. This carol is poetically bold and inspiring, yet more importantly, theologically riveting; a work of art that demands a response to glorify Jesus the king. We are reminded of Christ’s humility, “mild he lays his glory by” and that peace has been made possible through God’s “mercy mild”. However, God’s mercy is not only mild, it is powerful and transforming. This carol does not paint a quaint picture of a stable scene, but forces me to marvel at the authority, the majesty and the atoning sacrifice of Jesus.

I grew up in Durban, South Africa, the youngest of five children. My parents had a tumultuous relationship where anger and violence were fuelled mostly by alcohol. This meant that my father spent regular spells in prison. I only met him once, when I was 14. My mother couldn't cope and when I turned two, I joined my brothers and sisters in the local children's home, where I lived until the age of 19. My everyday needs were met, but there were some aspects of those years that were not good. We had cases of sexual abuse and grooming in the home that was unearthed years later. We were vulnerable and available and there were not the checks and balances that there are now to safeguard children. I was protected from the worst excesses because a young couple welcomed me to their home for school holidays and weekends. Whilst at the home, I had a great role model in a volunteer called Steve, who would sit with us in the evenings and help us with homework. Steve
overcame me and from that time on, I no longer stuttered. I knew that I could not reform myself but with God’s Spirit living in me, I had the power to change. I met my wife Sandie at the hotel where I had my first holiday job as a children's entertainer. When I left school I took on an apprenticeship and learned all about the hospitality business. Sandie was there for me through a difficult relationship breakup; she listened and tried to cheer me up. Over time our friendship grew and to our surprise we fell in love. This led to marriage several years later. Adoption was something that Sandie and I had always felt drawn to. We later discovered that due to fertility problems, adoption was in fact our only hope for a family. It was very difficult to adopt newborn babies but miraculously, as only God can do, He brought the perfect son into our lives. We were told that he was very damaged and had been rescued from a terrible home where his life was in danger.
NO REsERvaTIONs faITH, MaRRIaGE PaRENTHOOd
had grown up in the same children's home, had become a Christian and wanted to give something back. He invited me to his church youth club. Steve told me it was a place to relax, and meet girls - that was enough to get my interest! Each week I would hear the message that Jesus could forgive my sins. I knew of my need for a saviour, but it wasn’t until attending youth camp, whilst stood in the prayer room, that I had a life-changing experience. The power of the Holy Spirit
Donavan’s needs superseded ours, and in time we both felt God calling us to the UK with its excellent care system, and eventually to adopt our beautiful daughter Skye. My father was a stranger to me, and although I’m not their biological father, my children have taught me to be a DAD. They have put up with me, encouraged me and dared to love me. In Psalm 68:5 God is described as “a father to the fatherless”, perhaps that’s my call too?

MINISTRIES & SOCIAL JUSTICE KERITHDIRECTORY
Ministries & Social Serenje update - sowing the seeds In October 2008 we embarked on a 5-year project aimed at making a lasting difference in Serenje,
Zambia, a rural district devastated by the impact of HIV and AIDS. In October 2012 we needed to raise
Food for thought
In September this year, Foodbank celebrated its 3rd anniversary. September was another busy month, confirming that the average figures are continuing to grow. We still need help to locate a larger store to accommodate the Harvest Festival donations - this year we have already received over 10 tonnes which has been put into temporary
storage. We anticipate a further few tonnes coming in before Christmas and are therefore looking for 150 square metres of storage space. We are very excited to announce that Wokingham Vineyard Church has teamed up with us and will be opening a local distribution centre in Crowthorne during December.
£80,000 for the final year of the project. We burst through the finishing tape, raising a magnificent total of £94,000 all as a result of direct giving by people associated with our church community. The impact of this money and the project, are almost unimaginable to those of us living in Britain. Rather than Serenje being a community where hunger was a daily experience and the future was so uncertain, it is finally becoming a community which is able to look forward and where food production
and availability is increasingly secure. They are now seeing agricultural support for over 1000 families, school support for 3000 orphans and vulnerable children and over 100 volunteers visiting and supporting people with HIV and AIDS. All of this has provided them with a hope and a future. The surplus money raised in October will be used to help churches we are partnering in Europe, where resources are scarce – all making an impact on the lives of people we may never see – what a privilege!
Kerith Job Club is working The Kerith Job Club has been running for over a year and meets on a Friday lunchtime in K2. The club seeks to support men who are out of work and assist them in returning to work. It provides a place where men can meet together and chat, enjoy the bacon rolls and freshly brewed coffee, search the job ads and enjoy a game of dominoes or a lively discussion. Some have also found Alpha helpful.
Each person is seen individually and offered help with writing a CV, determining skill-set, on-line applications and supporting letters. We seek to help people overcome barriers which may hinder them getting into work.

al Justice We are sailing Konnections, our group supporting families of children with special needs, has received a three year grant totalling £9,900 to cover the annual running costs of the sailing club. This grant has been awarded through the Berkshire Community Foundation and
has been made possible by a generous donation from the Herbert and Peter Blagrave Charitable Trust. The sailing club will offer these children a unique opportunity to start sailing in a safe environment, helping them grow in confidence and learn valuable life skills.
CAPital venture Our CAP centre has continued to grow throughout 2012 regularly seeing up to 10 households a month. CAP Bracknell is currently working with over 160 households bringing hope and a solution to people struggling with the impact of debt. This year our centre celebrated its 6th anniversary. Over the 6 years, we have worked with more than 670 families and handled a considerable amount of debt - £1.1m of primary debt (e.g. rent and council tax arrears) and £5.2m of secondary debt (credit cards/loans etc). It’s a real privilege to help and support people in this way and see them freed from the debt which has had such a devastating effect on their lives.
K4 DROP AND SHOP
K4, our charity shop in Bracknell town centre, opened on the 26th July this year. The profits from K4 go towards a number of our social justice projects such as Foodbank, CAP and Konnections. We have had an amazing amount of donations, not only from the Kerith community but also from members of the public who value having a charity shop giving all its profits to local projects. Sales have been steady with September being a particularly
In addition to the Konnections weekly youth club, we now offer a separate session for teenagers with Aspergers Syndrome or High Functioning Autism, once a month in K2. Not quite fitting into standard boxes, this group of young people are often over-looked. A group just for them is a really exciting development and could make a huge difference to their social and emotional wellbeing.

MEET
lIly
LILY CAPUOZZO FIRST CAME TO SPARKLERS A LITTLE OVER FOUR YEARS AGO. SHE NOW ATTENDS KERITH ON A SUNDAY TOO. LILY SHARED HER STORY WITH LINK:
My name is Lily and I am Italian. I have two children (Cassie 14 and Oliver 4) and I live with my partner Ben in Roman Wood, Bracknell. My first visit to Sparklers was when I was pregnant with my son Oliver. Very soon I felt as if I had always belonged to the group because of the way I was welcomed- everyone made me feel part of what was going on. After the birth of Oliver I made sure that I was attending as often as I could, also because Oliver (although very little) knew immediately we were at Sparklers - maybe from the songs!
We tried other groups but Sparklers was the one we returned to every week. Nearly a year later, I became part of the Sparklers team. I love the team-time before each session, we pray for one another and for the families that need God's help. As an extension to the friendships I made on a Wednesday morning, I joined a Kerith mums’ book club and since starting last year, I have learned so much about Jesus and the Bible (I know how to read one now!) Our first book, ‘Purpose Driven Life’ by Rick
Warren, really opened up a new dynamic to my faith - we even had homework each week! Now when I come to Kerith on a Sunday morning, I am so expectant to hear something about the Bible that I didn’t know before! When I come into Kerith and grab my coffee first thing, it puts me at ease in a way I have never experienced before. I am Catholic by upbringing and still attend my Catholic Church when I can, so it’s not that I found my faith at Kerith but I have discovered a friendship with Jesus, rather than a religion to follow.

POLAND : THE LATEST KERITHDIRECTORY
POlEs aPaRT
TO NEw fRIENdsHIPs
One of our longest standing international connections, is with a church in Swidnica, South-West Poland. Our partnership began back in 1998 with a ‘chance’ meeting in Germany between Ben Davies, then Senior Pastor at Kerith, and Anna Kulakowska. At the time, Anna was working as an au pair and living away from home. On her return to Poland, she joined the leadership team of a small Pentecostal church in Swidnica and was keen to encourage the link with Kerith. As a result, Ken Bothamley (one of the elders at Kerith) went on the first of many visits to Swidnica and was introduced to Darek. Darek Suszek had begun to lead the church in Swidnica a few years before, having come through a remarkable faith journey. He had previously been a Catholic priest, but had not grasped what it meant to be in a relationship with Jesus. Whilst telling his Catholic congregation about their need to know God personally, God spoke to him mid-preach and radically changed his life – transforming the second half of his sermon, to the bemusement of his congregation! He moved from the Catholic church to work in a drug rehab centre, where he met Anna and found he had an increasing heart to work with the poor through the local church. Over the last 11 years, Kerith has supported Swidnica financially and regularly sent teams to help with leadership training, and in the beginning, practical help to renovate
the ‘castle’ they bought from the communist regime. This building is now used as a hostel for their own rehab centre as well as a paying B&B, church offices and venue for their Sunday meetings. The church has been well known for its work with the poor, but in the last two years they’ve been asking Kerith to help them grow deeper friendships with one another, too. This was a big change for the church, and involved starting up small groups to meet midweek, instead of their regular Wednesday service. No one was sure if the community would get behind it, but when the Swidnica team visited Kerith in September 2012, they told us how delighted they were with the positive impact small groups had made on the community. Recently, these small groups invited their friends and neighbours to a Christian Arts Festival in the city of Krakow, four hours away. They were amazed at the response, needing 4 coaches to carry over 180 people to the event – half of whom had never previously attended a church event! For Darek, this was another big step on the journey of building a community that not only enjoy being together, but also serving together. The Sunday meeting is now reaching capacity and the team are excited to see what God has in store for them as they continue to grow. We can’t wait to find out and look forward to continuing our partnership in 2013 and beyond.

Ben and Heather Pocock have been married for just over a year. Ben has been attending Kerith since he was a babe in arms, and Heather for the last 7 years. They are both part of the office staff - Ben leading the ‘Kerith Academy’ amongst other things and Heather in creative arts and strategic planning. Ben and Heather will be heading up the Kerith multi-site, planned for 2013. Here is what they have to say about it: If you’ve been around for some time, you may have noticed that Kerith has been growing! Whilst we are incredibly excited by this, it inevitably means that we are running out of space – in kids work, car parking, the auditorium and reception. We are also beginning to see more and more people coming from further afield, particularly from places south of Bracknell. The planned multi-site will mean that attending church regularly, being involved in church life and inviting neighbours and friends will all become much easier for these people.
MOvING IN THE RIGHT dIRECTION We will also be able to reach a far wider group of people through our social justice initiatives, such as Foodbank and CAP. What a great opportunity to be able to bless even more people! The multi-site is not a church plant. We’re still the same church, with the same values, the same leadership, the same preaching and the same culture - we just meet in a different location. Everything will be done with the same level of excellence found at the Bracknell site. We are currently looking for the best venue possible around the Sandhurst area. Once this is confirmed, we’ll then crack on with getting the new Kerith site ready for launch! Whether you live in that area or not and you’re up for the adventure, multi-site may be something you would like to consider. There will be more details soon but in the meantime, please contact us at heather.pocock@kerith.co.uk if you would like to know more.

This is where I eat breakfast, read & pray. Not the most beautiful of places but being able to see the grass & trees helps!
I love praying and worshipping in my car, It’s just me, my saviour and lots of loud noises!
I'm best chatting to God as I jog- just Him and me and the outdoors....no children wanting my attention!
This is a typical scene from my favourite place to pray - outside...a stomp in the woods on my own (with the dog) singing and talking to God!

This is the log fire that I get the privilege to sit by when I get some time away... never fails to bring me closer to God as I relax and gaze at the logs burning and feel its warmth.
Without a doubt, bluebell woods are a great place to be reminded of the splendour and fragrance of God. Overwhelming beauty, fragrance, mauves and blues with lime green and browns. It's a breath-taking display.
My chair in the corner of my bedroom where I sit and talk to God and write down what he says to me.
There is something about a sunset that always helps me to remember the beauty of God's creation. It doesn't matter where i am, I can't help but thank God!
