Welcome to our midweek service in the 25th week of COVID19 restrictions. When this started back in March, I don’t think any of us thought these restrictions would go on for so long. It is frustrating for all of us but we urge you to remain vigilant as the number of reported cases is beginning to rise again – even in our area. Of course, these restrictions have given us all an opportunity to show Christian love to our neighbours as we are now allowed to meet as two households. Please don’t waste this God given opportunity to draw closer to your neighbours and show the beauty of Christian love in action – perhaps over a cup of tea and a biscuit. Derek.
Finally, brothers and sisters, rejoice. Aim for restoration, comfort one another, agree with one another, live in peace; and the God of love and peace will be with you. Amen
Thank you for joining us for what is our current way of ‘doing’ church. I hope that the online service offered here will truly bless you, and that after this virus has passed, you will be able to join us as we resume our normal services and activities. In spite of what is going on at the moment, this is a time for personal growth and getting closer to God, and so my prayer is that you and your family will know him and his great peace, in all things. God bless you. Simon.
‘The LORD will fight for you; you need only to be still.’ Exodus 14v14
Jesus often withdrew to be alone and to pray. Before you download this weekend’s news sheet, offer yourself to God in prayer. Let Him know what is on your heart.

This week Clive Bennett, who is one of our members, is continuing with our series on 1 John a controversial passage that challenges us on how to be sure that we are walking in light, rather than darkness.
The hour has already come for you to wake up from your slumber, because our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed. The night is nearly over; the day is almost here. So. let us put aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armour of light. (Romans 13:11-12). AMEN

Thought for the day – Some people think God does not like to be troubled with our constant coming and asking. The way to trouble God is not to come at all. D.L. Moody.

Welcome to our Sunday worship service as we reach the 4th and final episode in our mini-series “Hidden Heroes from the BIble”. Today we will be looking at Enoch, one of only two people who lived before the flood of whom it is said the he “Walked with God.” The other being his great grandson, Noah. We can learn much about our own walk with God through Enoch’s life especially as we continue in this period of semi-isolation from each other but never from God.
Now to him who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you blameless before the presence of his glory with great joy, to the only God, our Saviour, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion, and authority, before all time and now and forever. Amen. Jude 24-25.
After the debacle in the A level results, aren’t you glad God doesn’t grade us using an algorithm to see if we are “worthy” of saving?
We deserve nothing from God but judgment, but in His grace, He offers mercy and full pardon to the one who trusts in the shed blood of Jesus Christ to wash himself clean.
Never forget that salvation and everything that we have comes from God as a free gift by His grace. Hallelujah.
