Meetings

What determines whether or not we have a strong sense of the Presence of God in our meetings? There is no definitive answer, though peoples’ hearts being right with God is important. Praise, which the Lord ‘inhabits’ (Psalm22:3) is another factor. Faith and expectancy are pleasing to God. And yet, there have been times when God ‘invades’ regardless of these …

My apologies for there being no ‘blog’ re last Sunday. Wendy and I have been away all week. The most memorable aspect of the meeting last Sunday was an overwhelming sense of the Presence of God suddenly entering the meeting. Not that there had not been a sense of the Spirit’s Presence before, but suddenly… And everyone remarked on the …

After being away at conference last weekend, it was so good to be meeting together, and to hear such good reports of the meeting at Malcolm and Moira’s home last Sunday. Cliff and Sue were praising God. Sue’s chronic health challenges have resolved, and she is in faith for continuing good health. Cliff had surgery during the week, and we …

Looking forward to meeting together tomorrow. Conference in Devon last weekend was good, but nothing compares to being with the family of God that we are joined to most closely. Issar and Anna Hussain, a young dentist and his wife, will be staying with us and hope to join us at Liberty. John Alam has been out of hospital for …

We prayed for a worship leader, and Bob came along. We prayed for more people, and quite a few came along. Now we are praying for younger people! We were sorry to hear from Billy and Wendy that they have now got tickets to fly back to Texas. We will miss them, and say Thank-you to them for all they …

What an anointed meeting! Thank you to all who came and nearly filled our room yesterday morning. So good to have Michelle join us for the first time. Welcome Michelle – do join us again. And good to have Rod R with us. Rod has been before some years ago, and was Michelle’s driver today. So sorry John, Sue, Marcus …

It was so good to meet again, having missed a week here due to Christmas family invasion. Thank you to Bob for leading worship, and to all who participated in the meeting. The beginning of the year is one of those times when it can be appropriate to seek a word from the Lord. Such a word can enable us …

A very misty morning, and some health issues, prevented a number of regulars reaching us, and yet – a great time of praise, worship, fellowship, and sensing the presence of God. Thank you to Bob, for leading worship, including many Christmas carols. Thank you to Malcolm for a most inspiring testimony, leading into communion. Wendy read Zechariah’s prophecy from Luke. …

Last week we had a guest speaker. This week we had a guest vocalist.  Two Christmas songs from John, who came to us for the first time on Sunday, inspired praise at a new level. There was a lot of testimony, and Wendy led us in breaking bread. Prayer was offered for a number of members experiencing very serious challenges …

It was a joy to have Jonathan Squirrell with us on Sunday morning. His visit was booked around 3 months ago, and Paige would have been with us too, if health had permitted.  With Covid and colds afflicting a number of our regular people, it was great to have a dozen people gather. Thank you, as ever, to Bob, for …
