Meetings

A relatively small gathering, but with Jesus in the midst…. Praise and worship as ever, and prayer for a number who are unwell at this time. Most people participated. Thank you, Cliff for leading communion. We looked at Haggai 2:1-9, whilst first noting that there are a number of temples in the Old Testament, and that they represented the presence …

I suppose Mark, from the next village, is not a ‘new face’ among us, as he has been with some of us to FGB dinners a few times, and to events such as our New Year party, and ‘Carols round the Log Fire’. Mark is our friend, and it was good to catch up on the world of cows and …

I have damaged some part of my left leg, which seems to affect all other parts of my body – moving slowly, limping, almost continuous pain, etc etc. But picking up my guitar, and praising and worshipping God, it all seemed to disappear. Until the meeting was over! It was great to have Sam with us, celebrating her birthday.  Ann …

I’ve never seen so many people in our sitting room engaged in active prayer. It was a meeting with a focus on healing. I felt the Lord was calling us to do this, and  also, there are many in our fellowship with health issues. We had a time of praise and worship, after which Wendy led communion. We then looked …

I’ve said before that I love a roomful. We had a few folk send apologies, but with Jonathan and Paige as guest speakers, the Hellesdon house church El Shaddai Christian Fellowship led by Steve and Elaine joining us, and Wendy providing a Liberty Lunch, it was looking good before anyone arrived. I had a few songs in mind, but the …

There are situations in a small church that are completely different in a big church. We had several phone up with sickness last Sunday. That leaves us quite small. Next Sunday we are expecting a lot extra. That will make us a tight fit in our sitting room. These situations can also cause people to advise us to close down, …

We had a guest speaker booked, but a health issue prevented him from coming. But Jesus came! We started with prayer for our missing speaker and his wife, as they are both really unwell at present. Also for our friends Malcolm and Moira, meeting with their family on the 20th anniversary of their son Neal going to be with Jesus. Also, …

It was great to be meeting again Sunday (yesterday). Having been to Cumbria during the week, we had missed the prayer meeting and fellowship, so Sunday was good! Thank you to all who participated, including Ann, who shared at the beginning, from Isaiah 55. God’s ways and thoughts are higher than ours. Mark and Michelle led communion, and Barry H …

A room comfortably full, and I think everybody participated. Even Faye, who is relatively new, asked if we could pray for someone she knew in trouble. How encouraging when someone takes the first step in sharing or participating. Many shared through testimony, prayer, reading, etc. Thank you to Wendy L for leading communion, and Barry H for sharing various thoughts …

So good to have the room full. So good to have visitors, including my daughter Naomi, husband Herman, and their 4 daughters. So good to have one of our carol service guests from the next village return this week for ‘first time at Liberty worship service’. Praise and worship lively! One member said he sensed the Presence of God descend …
