Rainbow Rhymes is a free bounce and rhyme time for babies and toddlers aged 0-4 and their parents/carers. Come along, make friends and have fun. 

We run every Friday from 10-11.15 am, and all are welcome. Tea, coffee and cake are served afterwards.

Booking is not required to attend, and you don't need to sign up for each individual date.
We will be communicating with those who do sign up, in regard to events and last-minute cancellations. 

We really look forward to seeing you.

What is God's vision for sex in a Christian marriage? How can we sustain a great love life over the decades? What is permissible in Christian marriage? How can we make it easier to talk about sexual intimacy as a couple? Why is my spouse so different to me when it comes to our love life?
 
If you are married, and if you've asked yourself any of these questions and others, then this seminar is for you. It will be hosted by Steve and Deb Tibbert, who have been married for 35 years and have many years' experience pastoring couples and teaching about Christian marriage. Over the course of the morning they will talk about God's wonderful intention for sex in marriage, how we can understand and work through our differences, and how, contrary to what the world would say, sex in marriage can continue to be a source of mutual joy and intimacy over the long term.

The seminar is for married couples only, so please add your spouse below when signing up. There will be opportunities to discuss topics as a couple, but there will be no group discussion and no requirement to disclose anything about your relationship to anyone else. The seminar is free, but it would be helpful to know if you are planning to attend. Please note that there will be no crèche or childcare provided.

If the event is full please email us at info@kingschurchlondon.org and we will add you to our waiting list.

Friendly mixed group that enjoys a home-cooked lunch followed by a short service/presentation. For anyone over 55.

The Marriage Course runs over seven sessions and helps couples invest in their marriage. Each session begins with sharing a two-course meal as a couple, followed by a fun, insightful video covering topics that are relevant for every couple like 'Resolving Conflict' or 'Good Sex'.

The course helps couples build strong foundations, communicate effectively, and resolve differences, offering practical tools to help couples invest in their marriage so that it lasts a lifetime.
Although the Marriage Course is based on Christian principles, it is designed for all couples, with or without a church background. After watching the session videos, couples have time for private discussion. Couples are never asked to share anything about their relationship with anyone else.

The course starts on Thursday 15 May at the Catford site.

£80 per couple including a two-course meal each evening and course materials.

If you are have any queries or need help with the cost of the course, please email us or contact the church office (020 8690 4646).

The book of Isaiah has been referred to as the “fifth gospel” since at least the time of Jerome and Augustine. Rightly so. In soaring poetry and often dramatic prose, it radiates evangelical clarity, eschatological hope, experiential joy and evangelistic passion. The goodness of God, the certainty of his judgment and the scope of his salvation shine from its pages. Generations of believers, faced with challenging circumstances or spiritual dryness, have found comfort and delight in Isaiah’s words, and particularly his promises of redemption and restoration in Christ. His significance is also highlighted canonically, as the first and greatest of the major prophets, as well as Christologically. When the Lord Jesus began his public ministry, it was Isaiah’s scroll he quoted.

Yet for readers and preachers, it does present challenges. How does the entire book hold together, not just as a series of edited highlights (e.g. chapters 6, 40 and 53), but as a unified whole? What do we do with the numerous oracles of judgment and their very obscure imagery? Why are there so many cryptically-named children in the book, and what is their significance? How can we read chapters 1-39 in such a way as to “behold the King in his beauty” (33:17)? Why do the New Testament writers quote Isaiah in ways that seem so different from his original meaning? (Here’s to you, Ahaz!) What historical backstory makes best sense of each section? How do you preach from a book this long? How do you even read it devotionally without getting lost in the eighth century weeds?

These are just some of the questions we will be considering at our upcoming THINK conference, from 1-3 July 2025. We will spend three days together in Isaiah’s magnificent scroll, hosted and taught by Andrew Wilson (King’s Church, London) and including plenary sessions, breakout discussions, meals together, rich times of corporate worship, and time for Q&A.

The cost of THINK 2023 is £150 per person, which includes tea, coffee, and meals together at lunchtime and in the evenings but does not include breakfast or overnight accommodation in London. We will begin at 3:30pm on the Tuesday, and finish with lunch on the Thursday, at King’s Church London King’s Church London, 21 Meadowcourt Road, London, SE3 9DU.

 
Come. Take time. Be refreshed. Think.
