Meetings

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 …

A small number of people, but we are a house church! We started with 2, and have been in the 30s. But the number who come are always the right number. Always, everyone can take part, and this morning, everyone did. Praise and worship was interspersed with prayers and words of encouragement. Barry H spoke from Luke 8, with a …

A great time this morning. Is that because it was an especially good meeting, or because I always enjoy meeting with the Lord’s people? Certainly the latter, and probably the former! It was great to have Faye with us, and Frank and Alfie. And over from Hungary, and staying with us, Balázs. I led praise and worship, Ann encouraged us …

There’s usually good attendance when a guest speaker is with us, and it was good to have a room full yesterday morning, and great to welcome back Jonathan and Paige. Also, welcome to David, from Hemsby, who came here for the first time, though he has been to the fellowship at Catfield. Jane travels from Beccles, where she hopes to …
