Five minutes from London Gatwick Airport Minister: Rev Christine Keyte
The church is more than just a building; it is a living
community that has many members with a diversity of gifts. This web page is very
much a part of that. As you view these pages you will find a range of different
activities and people. Here at Horley Methodist Church, we desire and strive
together to better live out what it means to be a Christian in today's world.
Our focus and hopes as a church are directly related to the experiences we have
had as we walk together as a congregation. Friendships are a big part of who we
are. Our sense of responsibility to our wider community is challenging us to
service through our church development program.
As we as a congregation grapple with what it really means to
go "into all the world and preach the good news to all creation – Mark 16:15 NIV”,
we are striving to use our different gifts and to work together to make a
difference in Christ. As a visitor to this webpage, my prayer is that you will
give Him all the glory!

Matthew 5:43-45 (02-08-10)
[Jesus said,] "You have heard that it was said, 'Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven." Thoughts on Today's Verse...We often talk about the privileges of being a child of God -- forgiveness, salvation, a future in heaven with him, the gift of the Holy Spirit, and ultimate victory when Christ comes. One of the greatest privileges we get, however, is the opportunity to act toward those who dislike and hate us in a way that reflects the character of God himself. Anyone can return hate for hate, but it takes a child of God to return a blessing and a prayer for his or her enemies. My Prayer...Father, thank you for loving me when I was still an enemy to you. Thank you for risking the death of your Son to offer me the chance to accept or reject your love. As you have promised, please pour your love into my heart so I may love even my enemies as you have loved me. In the name of your ultimate Gift of love, Jesus Christ, I pray. Amen.
