I hope your week has gone well. I have seen some of you and heard from many of you this week. Some are celebrating wedding anniversaries, football games and sunshine, others are struggling with ill health, loneliness and uncertainty at the times ahead. Many are experiencing the full spectrum of emotions all at once. It seems even more important to be reminded of our playlist theme last week where were encouraged to be a people who amongst all the ups snd downs are devoted to prayer. This may be through many words, a shout, a cry or silence.. God heard it all and when we have no words I am encouraged by the following verse…
Romans 8 26 -27
Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words. And he who searches hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.
It was great to see some of you on last weeks prayer zoom, for those there, so continue he to pray about what you heard and thank God for all He is doing.
After some feedback from some of you and some prayer we have decided to do two more sessions on the devoted series. This week we are looking at devoted to sharing. Kate is hosting our live welcome on Facebook at 10.45am (facebook.com/moortownbaptistchurch and then after that you will be able to follow our pre-recorded playlist by selecting it from the MBC YouTube channel https://youtube.com/c/MoortownBaptistChurch or alternatively via this direct link HERE
Next Sunday, the 18th July we are doing a summary of the whole devoted series. We’ll be sharing some thoughts, things God might have been saying. If you have anything to share , testimony, reading, prayers, songs, pictures, paintings then do let me know or record it and WhatsApp me through the week before next Thursday please. Let’s encourage and share with each other.
Again, a reminder to keep 25th July free as we hold a gathering in person at MBC but with reach on YouTube, as well as a cream tea. More details to come.
See you soon
