We really are in a season of grace to see people respond to the gospel. This Sunday just gone, two more guys put their hands up to accept Jesus' invite to follow him. They talked it through with couples from the church and these two would now say that Jesus is their Lord and Saviour. This is incredible. That makes 8 so far this year and all but two of those are on Sunday mornings!
As we gather together to worship Him and hear His word preached. As we talk about Jesus and introduce Him to friends or family, we are seeing that they will turn Him. Let's be those who continue to invite people along to either get them started on their journey or to see them cross over that line of faith to following Jesus. Some events coming up:
1) Saturday May 14th - this is a Quiz Night and meal and is a low key introduction to church for our friends. Booking is through Roy Avis as you need tickets for the event. These are £3 a ticket and that will cover the cost of the 2 course meal.
2) Sunday June 19th - to celebrate Father's Day we are once again going large. After the morning meeting we will be having a BBQ and sports on the field. There will also be some inflatables for kids and adults! This is an opportunity to invite people to church and then on to a fun family environment where our guests can relax in the sun (let's pray for that) and meet lot's of friendly people.
3) Any Sunday - we are seeing salvation on Sundays as people come along, encounter Jesus and turn to Him. It might be that your friend would say yes to coming this Sunday and they would then continue to come. One of the responses n Sunday was from someone who has been on Alpha's, Freedom in Christ and in church for years. The other was of a guy who has read a bit of the bible and was in church for the second time! At the end of the day, it is God who saves, it is the Spirit who enables us to have faith to receive him after several years or two weeks. The wages are the same - eternal life with Jesus, starting from the moment we turn to Him with all our hearts!
we have dreamed of being a church of campanologists (bell ringers) and we are starting to see something of that because of God's grace!
