SUNDAY 27TH FEBRUARY: Our corps officers returned and Captain Ian led the meeting looking at 'God Bless You'. We explored how so easily we say it, but how we need to consider what we are saying. Looking at the Blessing of the Children in Mark's Gospel, we looked at how Jesus stands before us longing to bless us, and hold us, but how things get in the way (ie the disciples in this passage). At the end of the meeting a large number of people came forward to receive a prayer of blessing over their lives. Songs today included:- Stand up and bless the Lord; Praise Him on the Trumpet; Praise Him you heavens; Bless His Name He sets me free; Bless me now; Jesus shall reign. The singing group sang Give me a Vision, and the band played, Turn Your eyes upon Jesus.

We look forward to an exciting weekend next weekend, but in the mean time there is much to enjoy this week too. Do not hesitate to contact us if we can help you to know God;s Blessing in the week ahead.
