Here’s a thought – Why not ask God to give you an opportunity to share the Gospel with someone new this week? Pray for it. Prepare for it. Go for it!

Thank you for joining us for what is becoming our new way of ‘doing’ church. I hope that the online service offered here will truly bless you, and that after this virus has passed, you will be able to join us as we resume our normal services and activities. In spite of what is going on at the moment, this is a time for personal growth and getting closer to God, and so my prayer is that you and your family will know him and his great peace, in all things. God bless you. Simon.
‘They overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death.’
Revelation 12v11
Welcome to our midweek worship service. This is now the 11th week of lockdown and, like me, I’m sure you are all missing meeting together to worship God. Listening to our politicians, it sounds like this situation will be continuing for several weeks yet, so we ask you to join us online twice a week to share God’s word and worship the Lord by singing along with the worship songs. The good news is that God knows you heart and He gladly accepts your worship wherever you are.
Finally, brothers, rejoice. Aim for restoration, comfort one another, agree with one another, live in peace; and the God of love and peace will be with you.
2 Corinthians 13:11

‘He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the Churches. He who overcomes will not be hurt at all by the second death.’ Revelation 2v11
This weekend we will be celebrating Pentecost when the promised Holy Spirit descended upon the Apostles and other followers of Jesus Christ while they were in Jerusalem celebrating the Feast of Weeks. Why not ask God to fill you with His Holy Spirit right now and give you the power to tell others the wonderful news of the Gospel?
This week we welcome our guest speaker, Alistair Hornal to our midweek “pulpit”. Most of you will already know Alistair as he was our moderator before Simon’s appointment. This evening we move onto our penultimate sermon in our series, “Repercussions of the resurrection”, entitled “Staring”. Simon will bring this series to a close on Sunday with his sermon based on Pentecost.
In spite of what is going on at the moment, this is a time for personal growth and getting closer to God, and so our prayer is that you and your family will know Him and His great peace, in all things.
Now to him who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you blameless before the presence of his glory with great joy, to the only God, our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion, and authority, before all time and now and forever. Amen.
Jude 24, 25
Are you weighed down by the isolation blues? Well here’s a thought – this week why not “Consider how we may spur one another on towards love and good deeds” (Hebrews 10:24). I am sure that will lift your spirits!

Thank you for joining us for what is an unusual way of “doing” church. We trust that the online service offered here will truly bless you, and that after this virus has passed, you will be able to join us as we resume our normal services and activities.

Thank you, Lord for this opportunity we have had to wait in Your presence for just a few moments to hear your voice speaking to us. Help us Lord as we seek to live through the difficult times ahead to make Bishop Richard of Chichester’s prayer our own. We pray that we may see you more clearly, love you more dearly, and follow you more nearly day by day”. AMEN
