Postcard from Göteborg January 2017
Gott Nytt År!   Happy New Year!  We’re back in Gothenburg after an enjoyable Christmas in Northern Ireland.  We give thanks for the blessing of family and friends.
Praise God for our Inside Track on the Christian life, with our youth group, last Saturday.  Thank-you for praying!  We had three talks throughout the day as well as food, bowling and a film.  One girl had travelled 1 ¾ hrs from Mullsjö to be with us for the day.  
It’s back to school for all 5 of us this week.  Andrea begins a new language course and Trevor will be preparing for an exam at the end of January.  As a family, we’ve just started Bruce Ware’s Big Truths for Young Hearts in our daily devotions.  What a joy to discover together the greatness of our God, may he be ‘the supreme treasure of our lives’!
This Saturday is a time of prayer and fasting for Gothenburg International Baptist Church.  Thank-you so much for being part of this prayerful partnership.  Together with you all, we look ‘to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think …‘ Trevor, Andrea, Emily, Grace & Alice xx

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

Pray for Peace

“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called children of God.” Matthew 5:9   The Holy Land, the place sanctified by the presence of prophets, poets, and priests, crying out for justice, urging on towards hope, and seeking after peace, has been, and continues to be a place sacred to millions of people around the world. We have watched with horror the appalling violence that has been unleashed over the last few days around this sacred place. We have seen families devastated, communities shattered, and countless lives lost.   We, as followers of Jesus are called in this time to pray.    Pray for the end of hostilities, pray for the protection of the most vulnerable on both sides in Israel and Gaza, and pray for a recommitment to a lasting peace between Israelis and Palestinians. We also pray that God might grant comfort to the afflicted, healing to the broken, strength to the weak, and courage to those in authority to lay down the instruments of violence and destruction and stud

Back to the BCP!!

Hi folks It’s been a long time since the  pandemic  started and the lockdowns - and Covid hasn’t really gone away! I had the dubious honour of getting Covid for the second time just before Holy Week, giving me the chance to think about ministry direction, both my own and in the parish. One of the original responses to the pandemic was to limit our use of the hymn books and our Prayer Books. At the beginning I produced a service sheet with all the relevant liturgy - which we used in the car park and when we returned to the church. Our “temporary measure” lasted almost three years - and it’s time to move on! Our Book of Common Prayer contains our unique identity - in fact the word “Common” doesn’t mean ordinary but that it shows our unity - the liturgy we hold in “common”. We will be returning to our BCPs from this weekend, the Second Sunday of Easter. We will be using Morning Prayer Two - and we will guide us through the service.  We look forward to seeing you in church or online via Fb
