THE LADIES of the church enjoyed a night out yesterday evening at Peasepottage. Twenty enjoyed the lovely cooked meal and the opportunity of quaility time together. Thanks to our adult ministries officer, Jackie, for arranging this event.



A Card handed to all those who attended our worship this morning, which took us through our exploration of being in the Hands of God, from Jeremiah 29: 1-14



Today, Sunday 18th September, we celebrated the Dedication to God of Emily Joy Ann Smith, by her parents Clive and Michelle. Captain Ian shared the 'ceremony' and prayed a blessing for the family. The hall was full for this special occasion, and we enjoyed a special meeting together. Songs today included:- Children of Jersulem; Hosanna; Jesus is the Name was Honour; God is still on the Throne; Father Hear the Prayer we offer; I'm in His Hands; Your Hand O God has guided. Captain Ian looked at Jeremiah 29:1-14, and we explored the importance of being in His Hands, but how at times, as with little children, we fight off the Hand which is trying to guide us and lead us through every situation of our lives.

Next Sunday we look forward to welcoming four new adherent-members in the church.

The first gathering for our Men's Ministries took place this Friday gone, when 16 men enjoyed an evening at the Ten-Pin Bowling alley in Horsham. It was a great evening, arranged by Gerry Slessenger and Roger Moore and attracted men not just currently attending our church, but also those linked to the church, which was great. It was a great laugh as well as great to have quaility time together. Thank you everyone!

PEOPLE ARE STILL TALKING ABOUT THE SATURDAY EVENT last Saturday and we are pleased now to be able to share some pictures from it.
