Barton Baptist Church, Cambridge feel very excited and blessed to be this week’s EBA prayer focus. They are a small church that has almost doubled in size to a fellowship of around twenty-two people in the last two years. They are situated close to the local church school, which is very receptive to interactions with the church.
Sally Daggianti became the pastor of Barton Baptist Church in October last year, but has been with the church since 2022. Her pastoral heart for evangelism is visible in what the church is doing but also in her history as a primary school teacher. She came to Barton with her husband, who balances being church treasurer with his prophetic art! They are both part of the children’s outreach team. Sally loves going to the school and taking assemblies a couple of times a term, which are very fun and interactive.
On Maundy Thursday the church had their Easter event. The school encourages the families to come to church as they leave for the Easter holidays. Just a quick walk down the alley, they found the church with Easter egg hunt and craft stations retelling the Easter story. They all left with a Real Easter egg and Bible Society material.
During the week, Tea and Chat runs for the over 55s, with around fifteen people attending. It has been wonderful to see some of them start attending on a Sunday as well. Prayer meetings are regular as they are the heart of the church.
Coming up is the start of a weekly Little Mustard Seed which will be just after school drop off in the morning and will cater for parents and pre-school children. They will find many activities, some from messy church as well as refreshment. There will be clothes available for the children, either to swap or just take, as well as books, including Christian ones. The church is grateful to the school who will help publicise these events.
