Lent Bible Study Week 5

Hi folks

 

Throughout our Lenten Bible Studies we have looked at several important and essential aspects of our Christian life and practice.  We have considered the importance of Prayer, Bible Reading and Study, Sharing our Faith, and Serving God.  The final study in the set is about having the drive to keep going when all else is against us - our Hope for the future.


It might seem that this is simply a reward - that one day we will be with Jesus - but it is much more important than that!  Paul spoke of "love" in 1 Corinthians 13, yet he finished the chapter by speaking of three things that are ultimately left when we boil everything down: Faith, Hope and Love.


Our Faith involves our reason to follow Jesus, and the decision we have taken that He died for us.


Our Love is the "X Factor" that is inherent in our actions everyday, as we live for Jesus.


Our Hope is that we will be called by Jesus to meet with Him in the air, and to live with him forever!


Here are the detailed notes, and if you have any questions about anything we have studied, or just a query about any aspect of your Christian experience or life - just contact me at any time!


Regards

Johnny

Summer Readers

 Hi folks As we enter our summer period, please find our readings and hymns for July 2025. Each Sunday there will be a selection of parishioners reading our lessons - as shown on our list. If you're not available for the given Sunday, please feel free to ask someone to cover - and our church wardens and clergy are always available as a backup on the day. Alternatively, if you would like to read a lesson in Church, drop me a message, comment on Facebook, or speak to us at the services. We would love to add new readers of all ages, Gid's Word is for us all.  Blessings Johnny

August Hymns and Readings

 Hi folks Here's the next list for the readings, readers and hymns for our services throughout August. There are five Sundays this month, and in our normal pattern, our fifth Sunday will be a Cafe Church service in the Parish Hall. As ever - this is just a guide, if you need to swap your date - just let someone know. Thank you to everyone who has volunteered to read each month, and if you'd like to join the list, please let the church wardens or the Rector know. If we need to do so, both David and the Rector are more than happy to fill in for any given reading!

AccessNI Check process

 Hi folks Please see the following pages for the process of getting our AccessNI accreditation for our Sunday School and GFS leaders and helpers. You will need to print out the pages and keep a special note of the long number provided to you by email and let me know as soon as possible. We require an Enhanced check for everyone - and use the PIN number 918066 as detailed on the first page. The second page details the forms of identification you will need to provide - one from the first group, and two from the second group. The quicker we can all get the checks completed, the sooner we can get everything back to normal and put this whole process behind us for another three years! If you can photograph yourself (by smartphone or tablet) and email (revdjohnny@gmail.com) or WhatsApp (07488371680) them to me, that'd be great. I will also be available at the Parish Hall on Monday evening from 7pm to 8pm to help you with anything you would like assistance with! If you need any help at all...
