When we are in a hurry, we don't always appreciate the things that stand in our way forcing us to slow down. Like a motorway sign flashing out the message ‘Long queues ahead’ or a day feeling under the weather when there are deadlines to meet. Having to reduce speed for such things can be a blow to our schedule, but sometimes the Lord Himself needs to slow us down just to make sure we stay in tune and on track with Him.
That was the question asked when I began researching the life of William Carey, the man after whom the smaller of our two halls is named.
Having looked at one of the Minor Prophets with Obadiah, I thought we could have a look at the other Minor Prophets. You will be familiar with the names if you know the books of the Bible, but what do we know about the people who gave their names to the books?
REMEMBRANCE YEAR
This year we have remembered the ending of World War 2 seventy-five years ago, although many planned events had to be cancelled due to the pandemic. Dame Vera Lynn died in June aged 103 and she must have had so many wartime memories. She was known as ‘The Forces’ Sweetheart’ and her popular songs are still instantly recognisable.
Today we’ve been remembering the men whose lives were lost defending King and country at such tremendous cost.
16. Soldiering On!
If I could have had the opportunity, I would have loved to have joined the forces. My choice would have been the Army.
We have called for a day of FASTING and PRAYER, click on the post for more details on why we have called for it, what we are trusting God with from it, and how best we might all go about it. Fasting means going without food or drink, or any other pleasures to give us more time to spend fervently and faithfully on both seeking after God, for our own spiritual renewal, and asking from God that which we are truly burdened that He does something about.
On Wednesday evening, 23rd September, our church took the first tentative steps out of Lockdown by opening the church buildings for a time of prayer, gathered in person for the first time since March. Along with 17 others, I ventured along not quite knowing what to expect.
Very early in the morning of Sunday, 27th September, a small band of folk gathered on Lepe Beach for the baptisms of Jan and Monica.
