Goodbye Ifi; Hello Who?

If was great having Ifiok Otung as part of our church. He is such a positive person and made a real contribution to our Youth Church and Friday Group in the short time he was living in the church house. It was no wonder his work promoted him, but our loss that it meant relocating to Melbourne, Australia. An advert has been placed on Christianflatshare and it did seem that someone was going to move in, but this fell through. So please pray that Ifi will continue to be a blessing to others wherever he is, and that the right person to replace him will contact us.

No Condemnation

Sunday 8th March
An End to ShameThe good news of the gospel is that when Jesus died on the cross, God the Son was sucking into his condemned body all the sin of all people across all places and through all time.  He took it to the place that was furthest from God, and then rose again without it to live in union with God. Your sin is forgiven!   Your shame is gone!   You have a new chance to stand up, stand tall, stand forgiven and stand free!

A New Teacher for Y5

We were all sad to say goodbye to Mr Cluto, at Holy Trinity School, and for some time, his Y5 class seemed to be wearing out supply teachers as quickly as they could arrive. The situation caused stress to parents, staff, governors and church members alike – a great class was becoming unsettled and failing to reach their potential. Praise God, then, for the recent appointment of Miss Kenton who is finding her feet quickly and getting the class back into shape.

God will send a strong message

Sunday 1st March
“At times God will send us a strong sense of his presence, a desire to be with him, the ability to withstand temptations with ease. But he never allows this state of affairs to lost long. Sooner or later He withdraws, if not in fact, at least from their conscious experience, all those supports and incentives. He leaves the creature to stand up on its own legs—to carry out from the will alone duties which have lost all relish. It is during such trough periods, much more than during the peak periods, that it is growing into the sort of creature He wants it to be” C.S. Lewis
