Meetings

Full!

Small meetings are usually great – but my preference is for the room to be full. Which it was on Sunday. Praise and worship led by Bob, and some very encouraging testimonies concerning people we have prayed for recently. Barry H led communion, and also shared something from his ministry at Watton last week. He saw types and antitypes in …

Return!

We eagerly await the return of Christ, but this morning celebrated the return of Billy and Wendy, and Fred and Angie. Billy and Wendy had flown to the USA with a view to living there, but it did not work out. Now we are praying 1. for a British passport for Billy, and 2. a home to buy in the …

He Is Risen!

He is risen! And if Jesus did not rise from the dead, our faith is a waste of time. I’m so glad He is risen! Our praise and worship centred on the resurrection. Bob put together a number of Easter songs, and the house reverberated with praise. Connie read Mark 16. In fact, everybody contributed in a number of ways, …

Come, Holy Spirit!

“Come, Holy Spirit”, is our prayer every time we meet. And once again, we were not disappointed. Bob led us to a heavenly place in worship, and Malcolm encouraged us to a time of prayer, with almost everyone leading, as we covered sick and challenged family members and friends. And Ukraine. Wendy led communion. Anointing oil is mentioned in psalm …

Blessed!

No visitors, and no children. Not a great crowd, but much praise, testimony, gifts of the Holy Spirit, and a sense of the Presence of God. Such a blessed time. Shirlene led communion. We looked at the concluding verses of psalm 132. They searched for the ark, and eventually found. We need to too. But they were looking for an …

Dancing!

So good to have new people with us. And children means dancing, and tambourines, and maracas. Fabulous praise and worship led by Bob, and prayer for Ukraine and our friends, Balázs and Claudia, who have taken in 13 Ukrainian refugees to their home near Budapest. In fact, now 14, as one lady has had a baby. (We had an offering …

The Presence of God!

It was good to have John Alam with us. John was a virtual founder member, and has regularly brought words of encouragement to us. Getting over to us is not so easy these days, but it’s always good to see John. We asked the Holy Spirit to come amongst us. Of course, He’s always here, because He is God, and …

Different!

Every meeting is different. Well, it certainly should be. This week there were no visitors, no children, and at least two regular couples away. In fact, there were less than a dozen of us.  We usually start with praise, but we started with testimony. During the week, a bereaved man had asked me where his wife had gone. It was …

Joy and Grief!

It was great to have the Taylor family with us on Sunday. Mikey and Lou are launching a house church at Red Lodge, near Mildenhall, next Sunday, and were interested to see our expression of church. Their two children Grace (11) and Ted (9) were perfectly behaved!! In fact, it looked like they were enjoying our time, as we sang …

LOUD!

LOUD! I like loud, though I also like quiet, silence. We are encouraged to do both in the psalms; the Lord tells us what pleases Him, so we do it! And we love to. The room was full, despite a few away with illness, etc. Great praise and worship led by Bob, and various words, readings, prayer, as we progressed.  …
