Meetings

The meeting this week was hosted by Shirlene in the Sanctuary at Catfield. Cliff led the meeting and communion, and Shirlene spoke on the subject of compassion. Wendy and I were away at the Christian Dental Fellowship annual conference. We have been made aware of serious needs on the WhatsApp group this week. And this happens from time to time, …

It was a bad week for some of our people – and a good week for others. Some spent 24 hours in A&E and emerged feeling awful, and another fell and cracked several ribs. Bad! Two flew off to Portugal. Good! Some of us had a mixed week, and were present on Sunday morning.  There was praise and worship as …

So good to meet together. Even though here last Sunday, after a week away, the fellowship, encouragement, and indeed laughter at times, and especially sensing the closeness of the Lord, was just what I needed. Praise and worship always seems fresh and alive. Being quiet before the Lord. Listening. Praying for some who felt really ill, and anointing with oil. …

We have a lot to be thankful for, and it’s good to express gratitude to one another too. In fact, that was something Jonathan mentioned the previous Sunday.  So thank you to all who came and participated on Sunday morning, with prayers, readings, communion – and a lot of praise! Prov.29:18 tells us in the KJV that where there is …

The curry feast preceding the Bible Study at John A’s in Aylsham last Friday was well attended, but with so many curries and other dishes, eg, a roast duck, there was a significant surplus, which John donated to a lunch follow the Sunday morning meeting. The room was nicely full, and we welcomed Jonathan Squirrell, a regular guest speaker here. …

After around 28 at the last meeting here, today was quite a contrast! But it was good to have Alfie back with us, the first time for a few months, and we forgive him for peeing on the carpet during communion. Who should take communion? This issue was raised by a visitor recently, and in general terms – if you …

A memorable Sunday! So good to have Peter Dunn (European director of BigLife) and his wife Jane with us. Also, first-timers Lorna and Furdy (who arrived minutes too late last week), Julie with dog Tilly (second timers), and Dave and Ellie (first-timers, but arrived too late for the meeting). Frank arrived during the meeting, with a washer-drier for someone, and …

It’s always so good to see new faces, and especially when they ask if they can come again! Of course. Welcome Julie. And just at the end of the meeting, Lorna and Purgy (did I hear that right?). And good to have a dog back in the meeting (another newcomer), and a Moslem. Thank you Jesus! What an amazing time, …

This was scheduled for a healing service, but with Steve M still recovering from surgery, it was postponed. Our first song invited the Holy Spirit to co0me and ‘unreservedly have Your way’. There was a lot of sharing, by way of testimony, prayer for those absent and prayer for those present. We spent time praying for unsaved family members. Barry …

Our Sunday morning meeting was held in Rackheath, at the home of Malcolm and Moira. Thank you to all who came and filled the room in their beautiful home. Praise and worship, and prayers especially for Steve and Elaine following Steve’s 2 visits to the operating theatre at the N&N. There was a tongue and interpretation, and later another tongue …
