God Speaks - The Holy Spirit

This Friday we begin a 4 week series called ' God Speaks ' in which we will be looking at the different ways in which God may speak to us.

This week we are looking at the Holy Spirit.

Has God spoken to you ? If so, how ?

Leading Ladies

On Friday 23rd June the theme is ' Women Bishops?'

Women are welcomed and ordained into leadership within the Church of England ..... what do you think about this ?

What about what Paul says in 1 Corinthians 14:34-35 ?

Bible Genealogy

Please post your thoughts here if you went to Fridays meeting about Bible Genealogy.

As I missed it, Derek kindly sent me an email saying it was a good night and this strange picture of Bob with hair !

Ancestor Worship

Is it important to you to know who your ancestors were ?
Does the geneology presented in the Bible really matter ?

2 timothy 3:16 ' All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful for teaching the truth, rebuking error, correcting faults and giving instruction for right living' (Good News Edition)

So, it is important ... but what can we learn from it ?

Come and explore this on Friday 16th June 7 for 7.30pm.

Feedback from Friday

On Friday we had discussions around the fact that football ( and other sport in general ) had many similarities to Christianity.
Thankyou Simon & Rose for an interesting evening ...... I especially enjoyed the quiz linking 'Church' and 'Football' terminology.

However we concluded that it cannot offer the satisfaction and joy we are promised of eternal and everlasting life through our Lord Jesus.

So Rejoice... Give Thanks and Praise .... and don't be be afraid to shout from the terraces.

....and lets pray for the England team this World Cup.

Take This Cup ....

Like it or loathe it the World Cup starts this Friday and so our meeting will be themed around the 'beautiful game' .

Some hail football as the New Religion and the iconic status of players like David Beckham akin to that of Jesus Christ.

' Being a football fan goes some way towards meeting the need all humans have for belonging and communal identity '
' Hope lies in next weeks fixture'

Do these statements present a challenge to Christianity ?

What would Jesus think of the World Cup ?

Football...... its just a game... or is it ?

George Harry is Julie's new baby! Born last Friday and his biased mum thinks he's lovely.

Julie is now in charge of this blog... but Derek wrote this entry, for obvious reasons!
