Dear friends
We are back in the building tomorrow at 11am and on youtube. We’ll be hearing more about Peter in the bible and who He thought Jesus was. There will be practical activities for our younger friends during the talk.
It’s been a full week in the life of Moortown Baptist Church with the church meeting, a new bible study, restarting Stepping Stones after half term and all the regular activities. We welcomed Rod Russell and Krys Gadd as new Deacons, voted in by the church last Tuesday. Do pray for them and for the Leadership team as they discern next steps. They meet again in person on the 7th March. This meeting will include follow up from the church meeting.
There have been lots of changes to the building too as the foyer and corridors are decorated and thanks to those who have contributed in different ways. Other spaces around the building are being looked at according to need and if you have any thoughts, want to join in then do let me or the deacons know. There may be a set date when we tackle certain areas so watch out for this but again if you are willing then let us know.
We have decided to start refreshments again on the 3rd Sunday of the month after having some feedback after last week from some of you. Thanks to those who have offered help. Lesley/myself will be in touch this week. This means that we will have refreshments every 1st and 3rd Sunday. Next week is café church where we look at glory on the mountain from luke 9 (28-36) so if you can help with this and you haven’t let Karen, Lesley or myself know yet then can you let us know very soon.
Continue to pray for our new members Jan, Matt and Mandy.
This Wednesday, the Wednesday night housegroup in church are hosting Krys Gadd who is leading a session called ‘Mining for Gold’ that looks at purpose in God and practically what this can look like in our own lives as a whole both out and in church. If you would like to go and you don’t usually go on a Wednesday, the group have said they would be really happy for you to come along. Its starts at 7.30m and finishes at 9pm. I’d highly recommend the session. Come ask me or Krys if you have any questions.
This Thursday a new bible study started at 7 in church looking at an overview of the whole bible and what it means to us today. It was decided on the night that they would like to continue again this Thursday coming so if you would like to know more or go along then do speak to Gareth Gadd or myself.
There will be more news about Easter soon but if you have any ideas or thoughts about Easter this year then do share them with us. It will be a combination of what we as God’s people want to bring to Him, and listen to Him in pray and worship over that time and how we share this with our community.
“And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.”
