Un nuevo día

Comienza un día, hay que tomar decisiones

Me he despertado fresco y listo para el día; los pájaros cantan, el café está fresco y el día comienza.

A medida que avanza el día, el día se precipitará en estos momentos. La calma de la soledad será reemplazada por el ritmo acelerado de otro día. El refugio de la madrugada será invadido por decisiones a tomar y plazos a cumplir. Durante las próximas doce horas, estaré expuesto a las demandas del día.

Ahora es cuando debo hacer una elección.

Por el Calvario, soy libre de elegir. Y así elijo.

Elijo el amor. Ninguna ocasión justifica el odio; ninguna injusticia justifica la amargura. Elijo el amor. Hoy amaré a Dios y lo que Dios ama.

Elijo la alegría. Invitaré a mi Dios a ser el Dios de las circunstancias. Rechazaré la tentación de ser cínico... la herramienta del pensador perezoso. Me negaré a ver a las personas como algo menos que seres humanos creados por Dios. Me negaré a ver cualquier problema como algo menos que una oportunidad de ver a Dios.

Elijo la paz. viviré perdonado. Perdonaré para poder vivir.

Elijo la paciencia. Pasaré por alto los inconvenientes del mundo. En lugar de maldecir al que ocupa mi lugar, lo invitaré a hacerlo. En lugar de quejarme de que la espera es demasiado larga, agradeceré a Dios por un momento para orar. En lugar de apretar el puño ante nuevas asignaciones, las enfrentaré con alegría y coraje.

Elijo la amabilidad. Seré bondadoso con los pobres, porque están solos. Amable con los ricos, porque tienen miedo. Y amable con los malos, porque así es como Dios me ha tratado.

Elijo la bondad. Me quedaré sin un dólar antes de tomar uno deshonesto. Seré pasado por alto antes de gloriarme. Confesaré antes de acusar. Elijo la bondad.

Elijo la fidelidad. Hoy cumpliré mis promesas. Mis deudores no se arrepentirán de su confianza. Mis asociados no cuestionarán mi palabra. Mi esposa no cuestionará mi amor. Y mis hijos nunca temerán que su padre no vuelva a casa.

Elijo la dulzura. Nada se gana por la fuerza. Elijo ser amable. Si alzo mi voz, que sea sólo en alabanza. Si aprieto el puño, que sea sólo en oración. Si hago una demanda, que sea sólo de mí mismo.

Elijo el autocontrol. Soy un ser espiritual. Después de que este cuerpo esté muerto, mi espíritu se elevará. Me niego a dejar que lo que se pudra gobierne lo eterno. Elijo el autocontrol. Me embriagaré sólo de alegría. Sólo me apasionará mi fe. Sólo seré influenciado por Dios. Seré enseñado solamente por Cristo. Elijo el autocontrol.

Amor, alegría, paz, paciencia, amabilidad, bondad, fe, mansedumbre y templanza. A estos, encomiendo mi día. Si lo consigo, daré las gracias. Si fallo, buscaré Su gracia.

Y luego, cuando termine este día, pondré mi cabeza en mi almohada y descansaré.

Hagamos de hoy un día de buenas elecciones.

Planning your Visit

Welcome to Runnymede Christian Fellowship, an Egham Church

Runnymede Christian Fellowship is a church based in Egham but serving a much larger geographical area. Our members come from Egham, Virginia Water, Staines, Windsor, Englefield Green, Egham Hythe, Pooley Green, Maidenhead, Heathrow, Slough, Ashford, Thorpe, and beyond.

Our church is a community of believers who regularly meet to share life and show God's love. We do this by encouraging and serving each other and the community. We believe in the power of prayer, and we are always happy to pray for you.

Church - What to expect

Our Sunday service is available to stream online at 11:00 a.m. You can join us on Livestream or via Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube or X (Twitter).

The Sunday Service is now held at Coopers Hall, Strodes College, Strodes College Lane in Egham open to all, so if you would like to join us, please feel free to do so. If you have any questions, please call us on 01784 637010.

We run a physical Sunday School most weeks, or if you would like your children to receive a weekly Sunday School teaching pack that you can do from home, please email us at admin@e-runnymede.co.uk so that we can send you the materials.

Church on Sunday at Strodes College, Egham

Our Sunday service starts at 11:00 a.m. and typically lasts about 90 minutes.

We start each service with lively worship with songs from around the world, followed by inspired Bible-based teaching. All our sermons are recorded and are available as a podcast after the service.

We have a monthly cycle of Sunday services, with our Communion Service being on the first Sunday of each month and an All-Age All-Nation Service on the second Sunday of each month. Our other Sunday services include Spirit-focused and teaching services.

We have consciously adopted being a blended church that is both for those online and face-to-face. You are welcome to join us on Livestream or via Facebook, Linkedin, YouTube, or X (Twitter), or you can catch up and watch the recordings later.

Joining us in person

Visiting a new and unfamiliar church for the first time can be intimidating, but we want to ensure you feel welcome and enjoy your time with us. A friendly face will be waiting to meet you at the entrance and welcome you.

Doors open at 10:30 a.m. Our Sunday Service starts at 11:00 a.m. and typically runs for about 90 minutes, sometimes followed by tea and coffee.

Driving and Car Parking

Our Sunday Morning Service is now held at Coopers Hall, Strodes College, Strodes College Lane, Egham, TW20 9DR, which has plenty of Parking. Click on the link for directions to RCF.

We have plenty of parking spaces right outside the building. Spaces are reserved near the entrance for anyone with mobility problems (for those with a blue badge). Please let us know if you need to use one of these spaces, have any special needs, or require any assistance.

The car parking area is a public area, so please ensure that your children are under your control and that, for their safety, they do not run around in the car park.

Visiting with children?

Everyone is welcome at RCF. We encourage everyone, young and old, to join the service. We have Sunday School, which starts after worship and runs during the sermon for 30 to 40 minutes for children aged 5 to 13. On the second Sunday of each month, we have a shorter All-Aged All Nations Service, where the children stay for the worship and the sermon.

After Church

We chat over coffee and biscuits after church on the first, third and fourth Sundays. If you want to get more acquainted, why not join us for a Sunday lunch with some of our members? The meal is on us! Please contact us and let us know. We would love to share a meal and get to know you better!
