Apart from the usual meetings (including the prayer meeting on Thursday at 7.30 p.m. and the Mums & Toddlers on Friday at 9.30 a.m.), we have a special ‘Churches Together’ meeting on Saturday 16th May at 7 p.m. Come to this Pentecost meeting to find out more about what the Holy Spirit is doing in all our local churches. It’s a great opportunity to meet with Christians from other churches and to have fellowship (and food!) with them. If you can help by providing home baking for the refreshments after the meeting, that would be great.
‘Churches Together‘ meetings are very informal, with time for worship and prayer, getting to know each other and hearing something from God’s word. They’re suitable for all ages and are not tied to any one denomination, for we recognise that God is working through all churches, reflecting the diversity of life. Unity doesn’t mean uniformity and it’s a great privilege to join with other churches on a regular basis.
As Pentecost is celebrated on 24th May, we will be looking at the symbols used in the Bible to describe the Holy Spirit and how He is alive and working in our local churches! I came across an interesting quotation today. ‘We have the Spirit of God, who knows the innermost thoughts of God and can communicate these realities to us. This means we don’t need more of the Spirit; the Spirit needs more of us.’ (Keith Krell) I find that a challenging thought.
