Updates

We have been inundated with requests in regards to Shelley. Captain Susan has been to visit and reports that Shelley has now moved from ITCU to HD Unit at Redhill Hospital. Shelley was able to chat with Cpt for a period of time, which is great. We thank God for this strength to carry Shelley through - we have all been concerned. We continue though, to pray for Shelley, for Madeline, Jim and Luke, and the wider family as well.

Netta is now home we thank God for, and residing for a short period with her daughter.

MAC

We are sorry to inform you that Ellen MacNaughton has passed away. Mac, as she was known, was only with us at Home League yesterday, but we understand had a fall after returning home and was taken into hospital and died shortly afterwards. We thank God for Mac and pray for her family at this time.

We moved onto today to Stable Moments - Stable Diet. We looked today at John 1, and The Word which came and dwelt among us. Teaching from this passage presented our five essential that we need to feed on everyday. Songs today included: Great is the Darkness; Give thank to the Lord; Jesus Name above all names; We have a Gospel to Proclaim; Joyful, Joyful we adore Thee; Of all in earth and heaven; Guide me O Thou Great Jehovah. During this meeting we bid a farewell to Comfort who is returning to Ghana after time with family in this country. Comfort thanked us for being her family and being a blessing to her.

Together saw a great number of people gathering for an advent reflection, looking at Stable Moments - Stable Door,and we were encouraged to open that Stable Door to see what God wanted us to see. Songs included:- There's a star in the East; Lord I Lift Your Name on High; Praise is Rising; Great is the Lord and most worthy of Praise; Meekness and Majesty; The Stable Door. After sometime looking at Luke 2:1-20, we looked at how the world might see the stable, and how we might see it, We looked at Revelation 3:20 at how God longs for us to open the door to discover Him. Some moments were then given to reflect, to be still, to pray, to pray togethre and more. Some knelt at the mercy seat, other shared a love feast together - and so much more. God's Presence was known.

We thank Him for today with all our hearts.
