Community We seek to live out being God’s family by being community Acts 2:44-46

Bicester Food Bank
It was the vision of a member of our congregation, Janet Ray, who got the Food Bank off the ground in Bicester. The aim of the Food Bank is to give food to families and individuals who suddenly fall on hard times.
They are given food to tide them over until their benefits arrive and are able to have a friendly chat and a cup of tea with the volunteers and if necessary directed to an appropriate agency for help and advice. They take away with them a verse from the Bible to help them know that God loves them.

Sri Lanka
ECB supports a church of around 30 people, in Negombo, Sri Lanka and its leader, Sriyamal Fernando. The church is on the west coast of Sri Lanka just north of Colombo. Sriyamal is now its full time leader. He has a wife and two sons.

We are very excited that we have been given an option to build a Church Centre next door to the Doctor’s Surgery in Bure Park, Bicester. This means we will have a place to hold many more activities such as Mums and Tots, Parenting Courses, Youth Work... a meeting place for the community of Bure Park.

The building has been designed and has been given Planning Permission. We are looking to raise about £1.75 million by raising funds through grants and giving. Since our first gift day we have raised £250K. If you like to give towards the project please download the giving form.

Below you can view photos of what the new Church Centre should look like when it's Finished (click on photos to enlarge).
