What's Christianity About?
The Story of God, the World and you!
​
This is a place to explore the big questions of life. We don’t assume you believe in God but we hope you’ll take the time to engage with his story.
It can be told as simply as 3, 2, 1…
Recommended Book
“It’s hard to fight sin when you can’t see what’s happening; it’s hard to beat Satan when he’s blindfolded you.”
"The battle against sin, the world, and the devil is constantly raging.. Although we’re aware that there is an enemy, we’re often caught off-guard running for cover rather than advancing confidently like well-equipped soldiers.
Graham Beynon seeks to change this in Know Your Enemy. Graham hones our battle skills and prepares us to fight the good fight by helping us to know both ourselves and our enemy better. In six manageable chapters... we’ll learn more about Satan’s strategy and more about ourselves and where we may be weak to attack.
The fight against sin will continue throughout our lives but it is possible to fight our enemy more confidently and more effectively."
Available for £1 donation at the back of church.

Prayer Chain
Have you ever had times when you would have liked to have prayer support for a particular situation?
​
God promises us in His Word that He hears every word that we pray to Him. Like a good parent, He is waiting, ready, and willing to listen to our worries, concerns and needs.
​
St Andrew’s Church Buckland Monachorum have a prayer chain which operates for prayer needs. It consists of members of the congregation who are passionate intercessors. Over the years we have seen many wonderful answers to prayer. Prayers are kept in strict confidence and the prayer chain is available to all.
​
Words of comfort from the Bible:
Our Prayer Chain, as imagined by our Sunday School Class.
“Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus”
Philippians 4:6-7
Please contact Denise or Bronia if you would like prayer, either directly in person, or fill in the contact form on our "Contact Us" page and select "Prayer Chain". All requests are held in the strictest of confidence, and any e-mails are quickly deleted. Thank you.
