New Curate Gareth Lane speaking at the 9.00am and 10.45am services on What is Genuine Spirituality? Finding out that actually all that we do should be directed towards our Daddy in Heaven !
Hi, I’m Gareth Lane, your new curate. Since moving to Bedgrove with my family in June we have already settled in and are enjoying being part a of the CHS community.
I grew up in Margate, Kent where my parent’s Baptist church was a large part of my life, and where I came to faith. At 18 I moved to High Wycombe to train in Business IT, and have stayed there until now (apart from a few years interlude in London, where I met my wife Jenny). We have now been married 13 years and have 4 children. If time allowed I would be into really outdoorsy things, rock-climbing, skiing, kayaking or on the football pitch, however my family now take up a large part of my free time (they are learning to kayak though!).
I’ve always suspected that I wouldn’t be in Computer Networking forever, but the process of moving from IT to Church leadership has been a gradual one. I was very happy working in IT and have always seen ministry as an integrated part of work and life, so I’ve struggled a bit with realising God’s call into something new. Handily the CofE ordination process is quite a long one so it’s given me a chance to catch up with God’s plan !
Since Jen and I have been married we’ve been worshipping at St Peters’ Church, Loudwater, a charismatic evangelical church where we are encouraged to seek the Holy Spirit’s direction and step out accordingly, which seems to resonate with what Jenny and I have seen at CHS. St Peters’ has been really supportive of my call into church leadership and we were sad to leave. However, we are really excited to be at CHS and all that has to hold, and we’re very much looking forward to getting to know you all over the coming weeks ... We are having an open house on the afternoon of Sat 17th July 2-5pm. Please feel free to pop on round for a chat, cup of tea & cake, kettle will be kept on !

His testimony relates how he clung to life while getting to hospital, was declared clinically dead soon afterwards, and how during this time he had an encounter with God, which radically changed the direction of his life.

Global Virus Warning
“The maker of all human hardware units issues this important virus warning and undertakes free of charge to provide updated protection which destroys all traces of the virus. Soon after initial production of the original hardware prototype, Adam/Eve Series 1, enemy virus S.A.T.A.N caused serious malfunction in the heart drive, resulting in contamination of all subsequent units. This malfunction, technically known as “Subsequential Internal Non-moraility or SIN” causes symptoms such as aquisitional overload, violent and degrading porn content, and intemperate communication content. Hardware units appear to have a mind of their own, rebelling against user commands causing headaches, stress and consequent user dis-satisfaction.
The manufacturer is providing an authentic software package to correct the SIN defect in the heart-drive. The package JC Almighty will solve the basic problem and protect against all subsequent virus attacks. Please log on to Heavensite with your username and password CONFESSION. Once connected, please upload your entire heart-drive SIN content through the REPENTANCE procedure. Next, download REMISSION from the JC Almighty software package. Using the help guide B.I.B.L.E. and following SANCTIFICATION instructions install all features of the package into the heart drive. The SIN defect will be replaced by love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.
WARNING. Continuing with the human hardware unit without this free correction procedure voids any manufacturer warranties, exposing the unit to dangers and problems too numerous to mention [even in small print], resulting in ultimate destruction. Bringing in your hardware unit to Heavensite Headquarters will not be permitted so as to prevent contamination of that facility
Thankyou for your attention. Please notify others who are ignorant of virus dangers and encourage those who have received this product information to act on it. Remember you can contact Heavensite Operational Director at any time on kneemail - JC@heavensite.com. Thankyou.”
