The area surrounding Rehoboth Church (Angel) is informally known as the Amwell Triangle. Six busy London streets - King's Cross Road, Farringdon Road, Roseberry Avenue, St. John Street, Pentonville Road and Penton Rise - form the boundary of this unusual locality in the heart of London. Most of the triangle is part of a conservation area with many houses listed as buildings of architectural or historical interest.
Today four students in the Rehoboth Ministerial Training Program began going door to door in the triangle to invite our closest neighbours to join us for our first service 2 September 2007. Though the response (as would be expected) was mixed, the team was generally encouraged. A number of people indicated an interest in the new work and more than a dozen of them supplied the team with their mobile phone details so they could be updated on the progress of the church planting effort through text messages.
The team, which will be working in the Angel for the next three weeks, is making use of the tract "Church: It's Not What It Seems." The tract challenges misconceptions about the church and presents the nature of the true church in a very effective manner. The tract also includes the details for the new church on the back. Look for the team on the streets of the Angel and don't forget to give them your mobile phone number.
