Meetings

Coincidence? You must be joking! It happens time and time again. One is considering sharing a scripture in a meeting, when someone else reads it out. One is considering speaking on a subject, when someone reads the scripture one would start with. Not so long ago, two unrelated people in one of our meetings both shared that they had been …

Some old faces returning, some fairly new faces showing up again, and one ‘first time’ new face.  One can tell a lot from a face, and from time to time I look around, and am blessed at faces that radiate joy. With Bob and Connie’s car back on the road, we asked them to lead communion, and I led worship. A …

We love having guests in our meetings. Sometimes they re new (wonderful) and sometimes they are old friends (wonderful). This Sunday it was good to have Sam, Priya and Rovi with us. All old friends! Three people known to a number of us had been to be with the Lord this last week. There were apologies for absence. We started …

‘He is risen’ was no doubt resounding around the world, as God’s people celebrated the Easter message. Historically, Jesus rose from the dead, and was seen by a huge number of people.  I love the generosity of  God’s people. Last week, Michelle brought palm crosses and Easter cards. A shame a number of people were not here to receive them. This week, …

It is always good to see those who have been missing awhile, back with us, and some relatively new faces. However, Bob’s car failed its MOT this week, and so I was leading praise and worship. There was also a phone call about lost keys, resulting in another 2 regulars remaining at home! Such is house church! After a time …

Once again, we started with prayer, as a request had one in an hour before we met. A friend’s fiancee’s dad coughing up blood and in ambulance. Then praise, after which testimony flowed. The Lords provision seemed to gave been experienced by everyone! Thank you to Cliff for leading communion, Bob for leading praise and worship, and words and readings …

All meetings are unique, or should be, but this morning’s was more unique than most! We had a guest speaker who was taken ill yesterday evening. We had 2 first-timers and 2 second-timers, and one first-timer did not come because one of his cows fell over. Normal for Norfolk. And Balázs from Hungary was with us, as he is staying …

There’s a lot to be said for a small meeting – but I love a room full! A room full of people, and a room full of praise. A room full of the Holy Spirit (‘made my hands tingle, brother’, said Bob), with a message in tongues, the interpretation, a word of knowledge, and prayer for the sick. Thank you …

Our first Sunday meeting since returning from time away, though not our first meeting, as we were at the Bible study last Thursday. With two on holiday, and two with a sick car, and two having health issues plus recent bereavement, it was good to have the room reasonably full. Thank you to Shirlene for sharing psalm 23 and leading …

It is so good to be back in the UK, as much as we love family, and sunshine, and summer, and New Zealand. And we have been looking forward to meeting again, and then on Sunday, it rained hard all night, and in the morning, there was significant flooding on many of the lanes leading to our home. So we …
