Meetings

The Liberty year is ending on a high! However, we praise the Lord continually, whether we experience highs or lows. The room was full, with usual chatter and laughter. Cliff and Sue were not the first to arrive for once – Coltishall bridge was closed, so detours for those from the east. And Shirlene and daughter Sam, kindly chauffeured by …

Kevin Charles-Thompson drove up from the southern Netherlands, to speak and to ‘see how we do house church’. He arrived very late on Saturday evening, shrugging off frost and fog. With frost and fog continuing on Sunday morning, how many Liberty people would actually turn up? Could we be in for a degree of embarrassment with our speaker having travelled …

I am so blessed during our times of praise and worship. God inhabits our praises (Ps.22:3). Testimony, praise, tongue, interpretation…. Surely this is church as per New Testament teaching. Billy felt he should anoint everyone present with oil, as several are sick and there are many needs. We looked at Nahum 2:13. The worst words anyone can hear, is the …

Of course, we all know that God is everywhere. He created everywhere! And yet we ask Him to come into our meetings. Why? Because we want to encounter Him. To hear Him speak, to feel His touch, to be stirred and inspired by Him. So we ask, and He does not disappoint. It was so good to have 20+ in …

Even with several folk away for various reasons, we had a good crowd. So many people participating, with teaching words from Shirlene, and particularly from Barry H.  Barry spoke from Leviticus 2, on the grain offering. He shared much valuable, practical teaching. The grain was to be broken up, and have oil poured on it. When we read the word, …

Again, the room was full. And although some were away, Frank arrived with Alfie, and Georgie was with us for the first time. (She thought it was great, and wants to come back, intending to have husband in tow). How good to have Jilly and Alan come along. “Love it here”, they said, with a big smile. Thank you to …

Having had the room reasonably full recently, we come down with a bit of a bump when people are sick, and another’s person’s car will not start, and they were bringing someone else, and another couple are on vacation in the States… So what!!! A wonderful time of praise and worship, singing in the Spirit, praying for the sick, breaking …

People started arriving at 10am, and within minutes, the room as buzzing. We are family. We love being together, chatting together, praying together, and laughing together. It is the birth day season – last week was Michelle, and this week is Shirlene and Connie. ‘Happy Birthday to You’ is hardly praise, but was sung with energy. Then there was praise, …

How difficult to describe the sense of excitement, anticipation, awe, wonder…. in a room full of people praising God, and where the Lord speaks to us through the gifts of the Holy Spirit and anointed ministry. Marcus and Lesley Philpott were with us, and Marcus shared from Luke 24, after which a number of people were anointed with oil and …

A full room yet again – though I am sure we could squeeze a few more in! Welcome to Gill and Martin visiting for the first time. Thank you to Bob for leading in praise and worship, and Michelle for leading in communion. A great time of prayer, with so many needs amongst us, and a time of praise for …
