Try Praying
Edinburgh Elim are partnering with Try Praying this Easter.
The Try Praying campaign was set up in order to give everyone an opportunity to discover God.
The booklet
The trypraying booklet is not for Christians. It contains stories of answered prayer, ideas of things to do, important themes about how to connect with God and honest prayers. In essence it is an outrageous exposure to the grace and power of God. But it can also be a help to Christians!
Use it | Lose it | News it
As a church we will be taking the TryPraying booklet and praying for the campaign the week starting April 6th. We will then ‘lose it’ by giving it away to someone we think could benefit from it. The third week, ‘News it’, we will celebrate stories of what God has done!
Find out more at www.trypraying.co.uk and www.thereishope.co.uk
Alpha
The Alpha Course is a free, worldwide course designed as an introduction to basics of Christianity.It runs weekly for between 7 and 11 weeks for one night a week, and is a great way to find out about Christianity, Jesus, God and the bible over a meal, a short talk, and discussion time afterwards.
We run several courses each year including Student, Youth and full Alpha Courses. Our next Alpha Course starts with a Welcome Night on Monday 7th April @ 6.15pm, Edinburgh Elim. Drop us an email if you’d like to find out more at office@edinburghelim.com.

I’m New
Welcome to Edinburgh Elim!
A note from the Pastor….
It is just over two years now since the congregation moved into the building at 18 Morningside Road, but it is only a little over six months since I moved to the Capital. The congregation (and I) are beginning to get a feel for our community and are looking at different ways that we can become not just “a church in the community”, but a church that serves our community.
Of course, a church is not the building, it is the people who join together with the common purpose of celebrating the Goodness of God, worshipping Jesus Christ and sharing the difference that He has made in our lives. We are a Pentecostal Church, which means that we welcome the activity and power of the Holy Spirit in our lives and our services and we regularly hear of how God helps people from all walks of life in everyday situations.
If you are new to the area, are looking for a vibrant church, or have never had the opportunity to join with us for a service at 11am on a Sunday morning then please accept this as my invitation to you. This is an exciting time to be a part of Edinburgh Elim Church, it is a new season and church is growing! We have now added a 6pm Sunday evening service that has a mix of themes and focuses but the same purpose; connecting people to the amazing truth that God is their Heavenly Father and that He wants to be a part of everyone’s life.
Look forward to seeing you soon,
Gordon
