Exciting day at MBC with a baptism and seven people being welcomed into membership

by

What and exciting morning we had today (Sunday September 15th) as a packed church celebrated a baptism and seven people being welcomed into membership.

The baptism was that of Rochelle Peter, a lovely young woman who is currently studying dentistry abroad but who’s family are long standing MBC regulars.  The picture above shows Rochelle with friend and supporter Kathryn Thompson and Co-Minister Rev Graham Brownlee.

The picture below, meanwhile, was taken at the start of our monthly Communion Service when Graham, fellow Co-Minister Shona Shaw and the whole congregation warmly welcomed seven new members.

A warm welcome for our new Pioneer Youth Lead

by

There was a warm, and somewhat energetic welcome today (Sunday 1 Sept) for James Wilde as he officially took up his new position as MBC’s Pioneer Youth Lead.

James joins us with all sorts of imaginative plans in mind as besides his work with our young people he seeks to take his ministry into some of our local High Schools.

Moving from his home in the North East and into a flat at the end of the week this is an exciting time for both him and for the church.

God bless you James, may your move to Leeds go smoothly and we pray that your work here be both rewarding and fruitful.   

A bumper bundle delivery from BMS World Mission is laced with suffering, challenge and hope

by

The latest edition of BMS World Mission’s Engage magazine is now available completely free of charge either through the post or on-line.

However, this 45th issue – twenty pages of news and features from across the globe – comes complete with a number of extras: an August to December Prayer Guide, a catalogue full of BMS Christmas card offers and South Sudan’s Conflict Survivors, a powerful and deeply challenging seven minute long DVD. 

The DVD complete with BSL signing and ready to view via this direct link https://www.bmsworldmission.org/product/south-sudans-conflict-survivors-dvd/ offers the viewer much more than the usual short, sharp shock. For not only does it examine the terrible suffering of hundreds of thousands of refugees and what we can do to help, it also contains a separate reflection video, a PowerPoint quiz, sermon ideas and even a group leaders guide. 

Describing the DVD as “a window into a world broken by fighting” its sleeve notes say this: “Food shortages. Loss of mobility. Fife-threatening health conditions. These are challenges facing South Sudanese refugees. People who have already been through far too much.” 

To subscribe to Engage and to all its extras visit www.bmsworldmission.org and follow the link to ENGAGE.

Alternatively Roger Robson, MBC’s BMS World Mission Lead will be glad to set up your free subscription.

There was standing room only last Sunday when once again we had the privilege of sharing in the joy of baptism. Surrounded and supported by family and friends Amelia Dobson-Bond (above) and Kamala Sunnassay took to MBC’s baptistery alongside Abi Tilley and Rev Shona Shaw.

He has already worked on a number of sports and evangelism related programmes and we look forward to welcoming him to Moortown.
