SUNDAY, 22ND FEBRUARY 2009

To begin the service we were reminded that prayer should be our breath of life and God's love comes from North, South, East & West.
During This Time Tomorrow Carol Monk shared how at 11.10am tomorrow she would be at the Salvation Army Hall at our weekly drop-in GLOW. She will be making drinks or chatting with folk, the people that come along are mainly elderly and live alone, so spending time talking is a vital part of her role. We took time to pray for Carol and thank her for her commitment.

Today's reading was Psalm 103:1-14.

Lt Emma Scott led the sermon, this month we have been looking at fear, love and this week anger. What do we get angry about? Emma shared that in a previous job she had worked with 29 fitfteen to eighteen year old, who had either offended or likely to offend. She shared how in her four years on their unit she had seen them learning to manage their anger. Even God gets angry but his anger is different to ours, it is righteous anger. God gets angry at the world, why does 20% of the population have 80% of the wealth? We need to channel our anger into righteous anger.

Songs used in this morning's worship were: Great is the darkness; It's rising up...;Purify my heart & In Christ alone.
