SAVE THE DATE!

As we commence the celebrations for our 140th Anniversary, we have the visit of The International Staff Band of The Salvation Army.

They will be giving a concert in Maidenhead on Saturday 21 February 2026 at 7:00pm, so save the date!

The International Staff Band (ISB) is the flagship brass band of The Salvation Army based in London, UK. The Band was founded officially on 7 October 1891 by Bramwell Booth (then second in command of The Salvation Army) from staff at the international headquarters. Their mission is to “spread the message of Christ primarily through music and aims for the highest standards of Salvation Army Christian music-making.”

They perform concerts, lead worship services, appear on television and radio broadcasts, make recordings, and go on tours both in the UK and internationally. Membership consists of about 30-odd musicians drawn from across the UK and Ireland territory of The Salvation Army.

As the premier band of The Salvation Army, the ISB sets a standard for other Salvation Army bands around the world in terms of musical excellence, spiritual purpose and outreach. They help to reshape the image of brass banding: moving from public marches/campaigns to worship, mission and recording projects.

In Salvation Army context, bands aren’t just for concerts: they accompany open-air meetings, corps worship services, territory events and national gatherings. The ISB embodies that by combining high-quality musical performance with a clear Christian message.

If you haven't signed up yet, please do! We are on the verge of needing to move to the bigger end of the cafe, so it would really help to know sooner rather than later, so we are all prepared!! Thank you 🙂

We need to let know numbers for Saturday by the end of tomorrow, so if you haven't booked in yet, please do! Drop us a message, call the shop or email [email protected]. Karen will be at the shop from 4, and we will be moving to the cafe at 5 for the "organised" bit (£5) 😁

Week of Prayer for Christian Unity 2025 - Sunday

God of hope, you promise that the
poor in spirit will inherit the
Kingdom of Heaven.
Bring new life to those who trust
in you.
Christ, you know the pain of division,
yet in sadness you teach us the way
of consolation.
Help us to remember that you are the
joy that cannot be removed.
Jesus, you cast down the powerful,
promising to clothe the
peacemakers with a glorious robe,
calling them the Children of God.
Make us bearers of your peace.
Christ of mercy and compassion, you
forgave the thief who died with you
on a cross.
Remember us all when you come into
your kingdom. AMEN.

Thank you for joining us in praying for Christians and churches in our town this week 🙏

Week of Prayer for Christian Unity - Saturday

With gratitude beyond all
possible language
we praise you, O Lord, and glorify
your name.
For having called us to the trusting of
faith in baptism,
for the communion we share in the
New Covenant,
for the unity we already enjoy and your
presence in the holy Church:
we praise you, O Lord, and glorify
your name.
For the witness of persecuted Christians,
for the suffering of their martyrdom,
for their participation in
Christ’s passion:
we praise you, O Lord, and glorify
your name.
For all servants of communion,
for those who pray and work for the
reconciliation of churches,
for those who lay down their lives in the
service of unity
we praise you, O Lord, and glorify
your name.
Hasten the day, we beg you,
of the full mutual recognition of
our churches
that communion you desire,
and for which your Son prayed.
We ask this in the power of the Holy
Spirit. AMEN.

Week of Prayer for Christian Unity - Friday

God of our journeyings,
Christ of our shorelines,
Spirit of endless horizons,
beckon us towards unity.
Challenge us to step out of our upper
rooms and safe spaces,
to be bringers of light and peace.
Imbue us with the light of your love,
reconciling us
to ourselves,
to each other
and to you
when we confront the scandal
of division.
Graft peace, love and compassion into
our mission and discipleship.
Bind with peace any broken limb
that we might go into the world
and live the way of Jesus
for the sake of all creation. AMEN.

Week of Prayer for Christian Unity - Thursday

God, Giver of Life, Light of the World,
Breath of Heaven,
the one God three times holy –
Blessed are you past, present
and future.
We confess our common faith in you.
Let us rejoice in the Spirit,
who renews the face of the earth
and draws us towards unity.
Forgive us when our breath is
distasteful.
Enflame us with your Pentecost fire,
to speak the truth of the gospel that
brings freedom and life.
Awaken our prayers and give
them flesh
as we work with you,
to make well and full,
the whole of creation. Amen.

Risen Jesus,
Help me to grasp the good news that
you have taken the sting out of death,
and given us all glorious hope.
Take my fears and worries and let me
fully embrace the truth.
Living as a witness to others.
Speaking words of faith, hope and love.
AMEN.
