Being the end of half term, our congregation size was a little lower today - about seventy people gathering together. This morning our senior leader Ian, led worship, and our youth officer, Trevor spoke. We thank God for what He has sought to say to us. Yesterday we looked at John 15 during our time out day, and today Trevor opened the word from John 15 (he did not know). This evening at Disciple College we also looked at John 15, and shared personally what God is saying to us individually and collectively through this. We recognied: God has chosen us - and therefore we need to live close to Him; we need to stick with Him; we need to grow in Him; we need to keep growing (and not going); we need to obey - and above all in this refect who our Father is, that of course, being God. We thank God for what He has and is teaching us. This morning was also very special because we welcomed formally into membership Nancy and Charles. They have been sharing with us now for six months, and was great to share with them as their commitment to our church fellowship - and indeed of course, we are committed to them. Love binds us.
