This sunday we begin the home run towards the end of Ezra. We are looking at Ezra chapter 8 as part of our service.

 After our service we will also have a short church members meeting to discuss our Home Mission Grant from the Baptist Union.

This sunday we return to Ezra after a couple of weeks off. We come to look at chapter 5 and how God’s soveriegn hand is over everything. We begin to unpack how God’s sovereignty can coexist with the reality of suffering and difficulty in the world.

Last Sunday (23^rd September) as a church we held our annual harvest service. We were using the Operation Agri material which looked at India. Our youth club leaders came up the idea of collecting as many 1p’s and 2p’s as possible and making a trail of coppers around the church to raise money for India and to raise the teenagers awareness of the difficult situation that some people live in in India. Youth club members attended the church service with their parents and helped lay the trail of coppers. We managed to lay a trail of coppers just under 110metres long – starting upstairs in the church at our youth lounge, down a flight of stairs, through our church hall, through one of our offices, into the sanctuary and once around the sanctuary. From the generosity of church members and parents of the teenagers we managed to raise in the copper trail just over £76 in 1p’s and 2p’s. A big thanks to all who took part and contributed to the copper trail!! This money will be sent to Operation Agri for their India appeal.

This sunday is our monthly communion service and we also come to Ezra 3 in our sermon series.We will be looking at how heart-felt worship should be central the community of God’s people and the whole of our lives. During the service we will also be showing a video made by our F.is.H youth group asking for help next week to make a trail of copper coins (1p’s and 2p’s) to raise money for Operation Agri in India as part of our harvest celebrations.

This sunday we continue the journey we began last week through the book of Ezra. We see that the road to restoration has to be a God centred road. Join us as we look at Ezra 2 …

Thursday 6th September is our monthly day of prayer as a fellowship. This month we are meeting at the church (7.30pm) to join together for an hour and pray for the future of the fellowship. All are welcome. It is a good opportunity for us to seek God together as his people.
