How to become a member…

It says in the Bible…Rom 10:9  If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

The key is your own decision. If you accept Lord Jesus Christ as your personal saviour, turn from your old ways, commit to love & follow Him, you are a Christ-follower; a Christian.

If, as a Christian, you want to join our church, (which I hope you do!), we have 4 stages.

  1. Speak & chat with me over a coffee.
  2. As in the Bible, declare with your mouth either; a) to the congregation, or b) preferably as you are baptised, or c) simply transfer previous membership.
  3. Our current members vote, (more of a welcome!)
  4. You are formally welcomed at next available Communion.

This all might seem what the Old Testament called ‘legalism’, but is quick & easy. As we chat I can explain what we’re about, listen how you might get involved, and together grow as disciples (learners!) and show God’s love in our community.

Please phone me anytime on 07931-652718 if I can explain further.

Be blessed, Pastor Andy.

Matthew visit!

Julie, Tom, Matthew, Claire & Andy

Police Officer Matthew was critically injured when hit by an HGV in Feb. His sister Julie (& hubby Tom) have been helping his recovery in many ways, including raising funds at ‘www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/tripletsfuture’.

Matthew & Claire thank MND folk for their prayers and support. Matthew has fought from being quadraplegic to walking to this photo, and aims to climb Scaffel Pike in his future. A testimony of faith in action, and a real inspiration to us all. Thank you!

Pastor’s Blog October 2019 😃

Pastor’s blog for October 2019.

Kay recently led our first ‘Encounter’ service, which will be every second Sunday at 7pm. These are a special hour of worship, lots of contemporary music, based around specific scripture with personal contemplation. If you want to ‘encounter’ our God more intimately, please join us October 13th or November 10th

Thanks to everyone who contributed to the £500 we sent to Carol and Ginny last month. Also the £700 we raised together for the family of Julie Hamilton’s severely injured brother, Matthew. The final effort involved Tom climbing Ben Nevis in what sounds like horrendous conditions. Well done to all involved!

Last Friday, 10 families totalling 44 people attended Bourne Foodbank. Their foodstocks are running low due to high demand. So, although we encourage you to donate non-perishables all year round, we are having a specific push at Harvest service, October 6th Morton and 13th at Dyke. Boxes are just inside front doors both churches.

The strap line of our church is simply, ‘God IN, love OUT’. Let’s intentionally show our community some of the love of Jesus we have been learning about these past few Sundays.

Looking forward to hearing your views either at the Member’s meeting 8th October, 7pm, or anytime in person, phone, email, whatever!

Be blessed this Autumn, Pastor Andy.
