PENTECOST SUNDAY - 11TH MAY 2008

PENTECOST SUNDAY started with our morning worship meeting - well attended - and some great worship with songs including Holy Spirit rain down, Send a new touch of Power, Great is the Darkness, He is the Lord, Send the Fire, Dare to be different and For the Mighty Moving of The Spirit. Rachel Whitewood shared a helpful All Age Presentation, taking a picture of her dad and asking the children to paint it and make it better. From here Rachel shared how God wants us to be different when His Spirit comes into our lives. The meeting also included our annual appeal challenge exploration with a powerpoint presentation of pictures exploring what our challenge to raie £40 will go towards. Captain Ian spoke and spoke on 'Send a new touch of Power'. Taking John 20, he looked at how Jesus teaches us what The Touch of His Spirit brings, what the coming of God into our lives and situations really mean. Here we see how God brings to us His breath (new life), Peace, Joy and then a sending out to get on with this amazing life we have in Him. Time to pray and respond afterwards used songs such as I'm in His Hands (played dreadfully by Ian who was in the wrong key for about five minutes) and concludign with The Spirit of the Lord is on me now.
DISCIPLE COLLEGE was good...we started with a look at Scripture and what God teaches about His Spirits touch in our lives. This was followed with time to pray, to reflect, to receive, to share what God laid on our hearts etc. People then concluded with praying together, which as always is very beautiful.
