Meetings

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 …

Carols Round the Log Fire is becoming something of a Christmas tradition in our little house church. Despite the ‘flu keeping a few people bedbound, we had a good roomful, and the singing was rousing. We started by piling logs on the grate, and they were soon blazing away and filling the room with even more cheer. The 8 traditional …

It was a little tight! It’s been quite some time since our numbers approached 30, and we raised the roof with praise to our God. Malcolm S testified of being healed of various health issues during his life as a Christian, and exhorted the children present to follow the advice of an older man – love Jesus! There were readings, …

What is that expression about lightning striking  twice in the same place? Around 6 weeks ago, our speaker was struck down with a flu like condition on the morning when he was due to come. And this last Sunday the same happened, except a different speaker, and it struck the evening before. It was good to have the room almost …

With storms leaving many local country roads awash, I phoned some of our more rural members, and they stayed at home. But those who gathered had a good time of praise and worship, prayer and word. Wendy L led us in communion. The smaller number also encouraged people who did not usually share at any length. Ann read some verses …

We are in a season of smaller numbers. Well, I hope it’s a season! We just about make double figures, and so it’s not surprising that everyone contributed to the meeting. Cliff led communion. We looked again at Haggai 1, and reminded ourselves that there is a picture of the church in the context to this book. A conquering king …

We love our guest speakers, and we had David Adams with us yesterday (Sunday 9th November 2025). Despite sickness as ever amongst some of our number, we had a good turnout, and so many present participating. We started with the song, ‘Holy Spirit, We Welcome You’, and had hardly finished singing when Billy exploded with a tongue, which was interpreted by …

When first called to start a house-church here, there were 2 of us. Others slowly joined us, and most were around our age. Not young! Then for a while a family joined us. And generally, we were not very young, and people come and go, though we thank the Lord for a committed core. Now we quite often have younger …
