The beginnings of The Chronicle

Meeting

At a meeting of the Management Committee of Goring Congregational Church on the 17th April 1944 the Secretary, Mr A J Rule raised the question as to the issue of a news sheet on alternate months to Shelley Road’s [now Emmanuel United Reformed Church] “Outlook” magazine.

The meeting asked Mr Rule to undertake the work of its preparation and publishing.

First CHRONICLE

The first copy of The CHRONICLE was issued during the early summer months of 1944.  150 copies of that news sheet, "Elm Grove Chronicle" were made costing 18/6 [92˝p],  and it was decided not to make any charge.

ELM GROVE CHRONICLE       May 1944

(Goring Congregational Church)

MINISTER'S MESSAGE. It is hoped that the occasional appearance of the Elm Grove Chronicle may serve to stimulate interest, and strengthen fellowship. If we fail to discover much latent literary ability, we shall nevertheless welcome contributions which have news value about the Kingdom of God. In our congregation at Elm Grove we have members of various Christian Churches, but we are one in seeking the Kingdom of God and His righteousness......

In our circumstances our activities are limited. We can meet on the Lord's Day for worship, morning and evening, and we have our Prayer Circle, but as yet we have not been able to find a place for a meeting in the week, nor have we a fully organized Church life. But these limitations do not bar us from contributing to the work of God's Kingdom......
