Saturday 11 January 11:00 - 12:30 Visit to Angus Library
You are invited to join a group visit to see the treasures in the Angus library and gain an insight into the stories of Baptist life and mission that are stored there. The visit will hopefully help us to understand the purpose and activities of the Angus and to imagine what possibilities its relocation to New road might bring to our mission to Oxford and to the wider world
To register your interest in joining the visit, please email myranblyth@btinternet.com

Saturday 1 February 12:00 - 4:00pm Church Retreat Day
The retreat will begin with lunch and is a key opportunity for the church to share with each other on the topic of our future. It will be a chance to prioritise the actions for the short to medium term mission of the church in line with our vision statement, further explore the proposals from Regent Park College to house the Angus library and enter a mission partnership with its centre for Baptist Studies and consider initial feedback from an architect regarding potential development of the front of the church.
Please indicate your intention to attend by emailing office@newroad.org.uk

Aim to turn up around 10.25 a.m. (but sometimes we’re late too!)
You’ll be met at the door by a friendly face
We are a friendly bunch, if you’re unsure of something, please ask!

What to expect

Our aim: whether you’re looking at Christianity for the first time or have been a Christian for many years,
we want you to be encouraged and inspired by a morning with us.
We hope we will all draw closer to God as a result.

Here’s a quick summary:

We start at 10.30am with a few notices of coming events, followed by silent reflection
The service lasts until about 11.30am
Our worship blends Bible reading and prayer with traditional hymns and modern songs
Everyone can participate in the worship
The average size of our congregation on a Sunday morning is around 30 people
At 11am young people go to their own group. The church implements a strong Safeguarding policy
We have a talk from the bible that is relevant and meaningful to our lives
We share in communion together as part of the service (first and third Sundays); all are welcome to participate
After our service tea and coffee are served; some services are followed by a lunch

What we believe

We are a Christian church and believe all can have relationship with God.
We believe this can happen because of Jesus, who invites us to follow him.

Is it just Sundays?

Absolutely not! God is with us all week long and we aim to lead lives that show it. We’re not perfect and we do make mistakes, but we want to make a positive difference in everything we do.
