Meetings

August bank holiday, and a number of churches closed for the day. It seemed unbelievable, but we met at Catfield, hosted by Shirlene. Praise and worship, and psalm 32 from Shirlene. A testimony from Cliff and Sue on how they were brought together for marriage. Cliff spoke on ‘Who Is Jesus?’. I led communion. We prayed for those away. Spicy …

I love to see a room full of people on a Sunday morning, though we have had great times with small numbers. We welcomed visitors, and then started with prayer for a friend who had an accident and is in a dreadful state. There is only One who can really make a difference.  The praise and worship was interrupted by …

We usually start with praise and worship, but Michelle had such an encouraging testimony of real progress with a family situation. There has been much intercession with regard to this, and now the Lord is resolving the problem. Which gave us even more reason to praise him, and we did! Barry H had returned from Holly Bush, and shared some …

A big Thankyou to Malcolm and Moira for hosting our meeting yesterday, with one of their legendary barbecues to follow, where we also celebrated John’s 82nd birthday! And so good to see a great turnout, with a few faces we had not seen for a while. And, great to see Craig’s new yellow Porche on the drive!!! After a time …

I suppose that ‘sensing the presence of God’ is subjective. However, there are times when several people independently testify to having sensed that presence. Maybe we should confer on these matters after the meeting!!! My experience yesterday morning was that the first song was hard work, and then suddenly, there was a sense of freedom and release and, for me, …

Are you like me? At the beginning of a meeting, I think about the good things the Lord has done, and want to praise him. And at the end of the meeting, I look back over it, and want to praise him. And so I do! How good to have Bob back with us, and in good spirits. How good …

After a long drive yesterday, and an evening at Tesco, I was somewhat weary this morning. However, where the Spirit of the Lord is…. there is a whole lot of quick recovery! We had a room full of praise, with probably everyone contributing. Ann spoke of the importance of ‘talking to God’. He is our Father, and likes to hear …

‘Tis mystery all! Well, we sometimes wonder what has happened to people. We knew some were away on holiday, but others…. We later found that one had overslept, and others – we’ll hear in due course and hope they are safe. In Exodus 25.2 Moses was told by the Lord to accept offerings from those whose hearts were moved. That …

The Spirit came! I am not superstitious, of course, but whenever we start with, ‘Holy Spirit, we welcome You’…. And, of course, it was Pentecost Sunday! We also welcomed John M, who has just moved to Frettenham. And of course, our guest speaker, David Adams. I felt the praise was tremendous. The house rocked. People came in with prayers, words …

It was good to have Bob back with us leading worship. Cliff launched out in prayer for the Church, and Michelle read from Ephesians 6. I shared from Genesis 42, which had blessed me so much during the week. I had felt the Spirit bring ‘old truth’ to me with a freshness that set my heart dancing. Joseph was treated …
