Meetings

How good to have a room crammed full of people on Easter Sunday! I had tried to lure people from the village, with hot cross buns (Good Friday) and chocolate eggs (Easter Sunday) – in a way, I’m glad they didn’t come!!! Too full. As we took off in praise, young people started swaying with the music, elbowing each other …

Regulars, irregulars, first-timers, saved and unsaved – we had some of each on Sunday morning, and so lovely to have a room full. Also, Steve Mott came as guest speaker, with his wife Elaine and son Gareth. Several people remarked that the presence of God was almost tangible, with praise and worship probably heard by all passing (village people speak …

I must confess that I prefer a room full, to a room half full. Or half empty. Having said that, there were times in our early days when just one or two would come, and they would share very openly about hurts and issues in an environment where they felt comfortable, and we could help them. This Sunday was a …

Monday 31st March 2025 It was good to hear that, while we were away in Somerset last weekend, there was an excellent Sunday meeting at Shirlene’s home in Catfield. Thank you to Shirlene for hosting, speaking and leading worship, to Cliff for leading the meeting, and for good attendance, especially those from the Caister, Yarmouth, Martham area. This morning, we started …

I never cease to be amazed that, whether many or few, the presence of God usually impacts me. I love the way His Presence seems to descend on us at times. We have been greatly encouraged to hear that Paige is almost completely better. Her fatigue, which was seriously debilitating, started before Christmas. Let’s praise the Lord for His healing …

‘Every meeting different’, we say! Phone calls and messages first thing in the morning from those unable to come, but on Saturday there were messages and phone calls from others who had not been for months. So good to see people back again, and everybody always welcome.  Every meeting different? Well, if you have an auto-immune condition, you avoid enclosed …

The buzz at the end of the meeting spoke volumes. What a meeting! Praise, worship, tongues, interpretation, word of knowledge, lots of encouragement…. A brief word – there is one rule for Christians and another rule for those in the world. Christians – love God by pleasing him (worship, praise, spending time with him) and love people (acts of kindness, …

When we first started meeting as a house church, I was asked by a pastor, ‘What is distinctive about Liberty?’ It was a good question, because within one or two movements with which I had been associated during my adult Christian life, there had been a tendency to plant churches where there was already an existing decent evangelical church. The new …

The lawn was white, and the patio was white yesterday evening. And today was not just Liberty, but also Liberty Lunch. If people could not get to us, would there be enough room in our freezers for the food needing to be stored? Wendy decided to cook in the morning, if the weather improved. It did, and she did, and …

What a cold and frosty morning, with a subzero temperature as people started arriving. (Photographs of field opposite our home, and frozen grass on the bank. When we said that the meeting started at 10.30am, people tended to arrive around that time. But when, a few years ago, we changed to 10am for 10.30am, we found most people arriving around …
