Meetings

It’s January and it’s winter! Ailments had beset some of our number – Covid recovery, painful neck and nasty cold, twisted knee – and yet the room was reasonably full. So those present prayed for those absent. We also had specific things to praise the Lord for; Billy and Wendy had at last had an offer on a house accepted, …

Whether it’s a public holiday, birthday, Christmas, high day or holy day, it’s good to meet for praise and worship. In fact, to meet with our God.  It was 1st January – a new year. Sadly, two of our number had tested positive for Covid, and were quite ill. Billy had severe neck pain, and Billy and Wendy’s offer on …

It was Christmas Day! We said we would meet, with family leading our time together. What joy – Bob and Connie came. Fiona led on keyboard, Cameron, Mollie and Jessica and the rest of us did readings, and after the carols, Fiona led communion. A fabulous time. The next meeting is next Sunday morning (New Year’s Day). *********************** Marcus Philpott …

The Liberty year is ending on a high! However, we praise the Lord continually, whether we experience highs or lows. The room was full, with usual chatter and laughter. Cliff and Sue were not the first to arrive for once – Coltishall bridge was closed, so detours for those from the east. And Shirlene and daughter Sam, kindly chauffeured by …

Kevin Charles-Thompson drove up from the southern Netherlands, to speak and to ‘see how we do house church’. He arrived very late on Saturday evening, shrugging off frost and fog. With frost and fog continuing on Sunday morning, how many Liberty people would actually turn up? Could we be in for a degree of embarrassment with our speaker having travelled …

I am so blessed during our times of praise and worship. God inhabits our praises (Ps.22:3). Testimony, praise, tongue, interpretation…. Surely this is church as per New Testament teaching. Billy felt he should anoint everyone present with oil, as several are sick and there are many needs. We looked at Nahum 2:13. The worst words anyone can hear, is the …

Of course, we all know that God is everywhere. He created everywhere! And yet we ask Him to come into our meetings. Why? Because we want to encounter Him. To hear Him speak, to feel His touch, to be stirred and inspired by Him. So we ask, and He does not disappoint. It was so good to have 20+ in …

Even with several folk away for various reasons, we had a good crowd. So many people participating, with teaching words from Shirlene, and particularly from Barry H.  Barry spoke from Leviticus 2, on the grain offering. He shared much valuable, practical teaching. The grain was to be broken up, and have oil poured on it. When we read the word, …

Again, the room was full. And although some were away, Frank arrived with Alfie, and Georgie was with us for the first time. (She thought it was great, and wants to come back, intending to have husband in tow). How good to have Jilly and Alan come along. “Love it here”, they said, with a big smile. Thank you to …

Having had the room reasonably full recently, we come down with a bit of a bump when people are sick, and another’s person’s car will not start, and they were bringing someone else, and another couple are on vacation in the States… So what!!! A wonderful time of praise and worship, singing in the Spirit, praying for the sick, breaking …
