Dear friends
We meet again for café church at 11am on Sunday! We will be joining for worship and creatively looking at the theme of Jesus stories as we look back over the last few weeks at the stories Jesus told in Luke and how we are all included in the story, just like the Samaritan woman at the well. If you like a jigsaw puzzle then come along as we have a bit of a jigsaw puzzle for you to try!
If you would like to share something you think God has said through the stories of the last few weeks or simply a thought, then we will have an opportunity for that on Sunday. Do pray about this as it will help someone else on their journey. Just a short thought/reflection is fine.
A reminder that Candice and Nelson’s wedding is on Saturday at 2pm. All of you are welcome to the ceremony to support, pray and worship with them. There will be time after the service for photos and mingling before their reception starts. We have a private YouTube link for friends, family and members who would like to be part of the service but can’t physically be there. Please do message me if you would like the link. We would like all to feel included.
The prayer course continues this Sunday at 7.30pm on zoom this week. See website Prayer Course – see Krys Gadd for details – Moortown Baptist Church

Finally, it was good to see so many at the ‘It is Well’ musical at the Fraser Theatre in Knaresborough last night. It’s the story of the writers of the hymn ‘It is well’ and the huge life events that happen including personal joy and tragedy, the American civil war and the Chicago Fire of 1871. If you went last night and would like to give some feedback or share something that may help others or write something for the website then do let me know or let Adam or John Sherbourne know if it’s the website purely. The show continues in Sheffield tonight. “It Is Well With My Soul” – Premieres In Sheffield (yorkshire.com)
I leave you with one of the verses in the hymn written by Horatio Spafford and Philip Bliss.
“For me it is Christ, it is Christ now to live!
Though death’s waters over me roll,
no fear shall be mine, for in death as in life
you will whisper your peace to my soul.
It is well”
In Christ
