*PLEASE NOTE- our garden twinning coffee morning scheduled for this morning, Saturday 5, has been postponed due to the clash with the mini-festival in Epping today - enjoy all the fun, including the return of Proms on the Green on Sunday afternoon!

Our 'coffee' mornings are renowned for their homemade cake, and our services for their welcome and the opportunity to encounter God... (and sometimes for more homemade cake).
We meet every Sunday morning at 11am, but thought you might like to know about these upcoming 'special' services.
We look forward to seeing you, whoever you are.

A year of this grassroots community group... worth celebrating!

Epping for Everyone started with a meet up on a bench, which became a gathering on the green, which turned into a picnic in a garden, which led to a meeting in a beer garden, which developed into a whatsapp group, which became a Facebook group and Insta account and eventually led into a fully formed community group involved in providing front-line help to people in need, peace walks, displays of community solidarity, media appearances, campaigns, fund raising, volunteering and on and on.

Join us at our Summer Picnic on Saturday 1st August at Stonards from 12-3pm. THIS time, we have reserved the Jack Silley Pavillion in case of rain - we won't let you beat us British weather!!

BYO food, friends and family and get to know others in our community. Feel free (no obligation) to bring food to share with others and if you haven't been to one of our events previously, please do come along, even if you're alone - we will look after you!

Venezuela is a beautiful country with extraordinary natural resources, but the country was already in dire straits, with vast numbers in recent years having left the country due to political and economic instability, and extremely difficult circumstances for the vast majority of the population. Now thousands are dealing with the devastating impact of last week's earthquakes. We pray particularly for those who have lost loved ones, for those risking their lives and dropping everything, to help others, and for those making key decisions about releasing funds for rescue and logistics 🙏
Christian Aid has launched an emergency appeal:

Donate now and support families in Venezuela who've lost everything.
