Despite a number being away, and some far from well, the hall was full for a morning of worship and the opening of God's Word. God came very close to us, as we shared in songs which included:- Jesus came to save me; Anniversary Song; At the Cross (Victory); Meet my Need Lord; If on my soul; Soldiers rouse thee! Our focus was Mark 10, and considering whether Jesus would ever say 'Why do I bother?'. Looking at His chat with His disciples about serving others, and then the response of His Disciples when they were too busy to hear the cry of Blind Bart, we considered the importance of not being blind to human need, and equally encouraged to Cry out to God with the needs that we have. There was no children's programme today, due to sickness, so Captain Ian brought the children to the front to act out the account and use them as illustrations during the address.
Today being Self Denial Sunday, we had time to give our gifts as we sang 'They shall come from the East' and to focus on those countries to which we partner in mission.
At the end of the meeting a number of people made prayers at the foot of the Cross.
Messy Church followed in the afternoon, led by Karen and Barry and was a time of preparation ready for Easter.
