We are delighted to be welcoming Malcolm to speak this coming Sunday, 5 February at 10.30am. He is a gifted and passionate communicator with a passion for the gospel of Jesus being lived out in our communities. You would be so welcome to join with us – be there if you can!

He is following up on a day spent with the leadership on the Saturday, so all round, it should be a great weekend.

Sunday evening we will be holding our more contemplative Prayer & Praise service at 6.00pm. A great opportunity to launch into the week ahead with time and space for God’s still quiet voice to be heard.

Faith that brings freedom – a quote from yesterday’s message

fhadmin — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 14:19:16 +0000

In speaking on James 1:19-27 yesterday (you can listen to this on the sermon page), I used the following quote from Alec Motyer’s book on James and promised I would post it for folk to read it because it was quite long. So here it is.

‘True freedom is the opportunity and the ability to give expression to what we truly are. We are truly free when we live the life appropriate to those who are created in the image of God. The law of God safeguards that liberty for us. But it does even more, for obedience brings life and power (see Leviticus 18:5, Deuteronomy 4:1a & Acts 5:32). The law of God is the law of liberty because it safeguards, expresses and enables the life of true freedom into which Christ has brought us. This is the blessing of which James speak (James 1:25), the blessing of a full life, a true humanity. Obedience is the key factor in our enjoyment of it.*

These are challenging, but exciting words and I would encourage you to take them to heart and ask God’s help in working them out in your life.

As a rather old chorus goes ‘Trust and obey, for there’s’ no other way…’

Week of Prayer – 23-29 January 2012

fhadmin — Tue, 10 Jan 2012 17:10:45 +0000

As the new year gets under way we want to give another opportunity to focus on prayer. Throughout the week, there will be encouragements to pray wherever you are and together with others. We will have Prayer Areas in church where you can take time & space to be with God, to listen and to express your self through different media.

Here’s a couple of the ways you might like to join in…

Wednesday 25 January – 7.30pm-9.00pm - ‘Prayer Appointment’. Meet at the church to pray with others. You may wish to be quiet in the Prayer Area or be together with others in the main church building…

Saturday 28 January 10.00am to Sunday 29 January 10.00am . ‘Prayer Wall’. What is this? An opportunity to be involved in a chain of prayer throughout the 24 hours. Sign up in the church or email us and tell us when you would like to pray (half hour slots) and know that you are part of a praying body that builds a wall of prayer over that time.

On the Saturday, we would encourage you to fast too and stand alongside others in bringing yourself before God in a very ‘tangible way’. If you are not sure what this involves – get in touch…
