SUNDAY 27TH APRIL 2008

TODAY was a blessing to so many of us, and we thank God for the way He moved among us. We started our day with Worship, which also included Kingdom Kids and Bright Sparks - a massive thank you to the team who minister there week in, week out. The hall was very full today, and as part of that we welcomed eight delegates from the current session from the International College for Officers who came on an observation Sunday. The meeting featured sung worship, and an all age talk from Heather which fitted in brilliantly with our thoughts throughout the morning, and with our Spring Festival thoughts. Today, being Regotion Sunday, we celebrated Spring and the work especially done through our community garden. Sara Hayward, who with her husband, Kevin, managed our allotment, spoke about the work over the last three years. What a brilliant ministry they have there (and always space for more to be involved). Ian spoke this morning contiuning thoughts from last week on keeping focussed in our Faith, and looked at 2 Corinthians, and chapter five, and what it really means to be a new creation in Christ. God's Spirit spoke in some very calm and still ways, and we thank God for the way He moved. Captain Sue sang: Breathe on me, breath of God. Other songs included:- God we will give You Glory, Light of the world, I believe Jesus saves, I know He rescued my soul, Our God is great, Everyone needs compassion, All my days and all my hours, Down at the cross where my Saviour died.
