I DO. I DON'T

OUR CELEBRATION MEETING focussed on the welcome of four new adherent-members, Barry Dowden, Karen Kinsella, Ruth Deevoy and Andy Richards. All four spoke of the welcome they had received in this church family, and thanks certain people for helping them on their spiritual journey. The new adherents had chosen songs to be used during the meeting, and songs today included:- Would you know why I Love Jesus?; My Jesus, My Saviour; Great is Thy Faithfulness; All that I am; O Jesus I have promised. Ruth sang her choice of song; Kneeling in Penitanence. Reflecting on Belonging, Captain Ian asked people if they were I do, or I don't people, and encouraged us to embrace all that God wanted for us and be those I do people, who do want what God wants and do not get in the way of His will and purposes. He spoke on how too much the Christian Church can be full of I don't people who stand against what God is doing, or will not do certain things, but how GOD wants to be honoured and adored. In closing moments someone came forward to make prayer at the Cross.
