October 2001

Have you ever been really thirsty and then finally had something to drink? What a joy and relief it is!
In recent days, world events have left many dried up by worry and uncertainty. What a comfort & refreshing thing that we can bring both them & all situations to the Lord in prayer.

Life has many challenges and situations that can leave you, even when things are really going well, with a sense of thirst for something more. Ordinary water is great, yet we read Jesus promised to bring a water that would refresh the parts, to quote a certain advert, “others could not reach”! Body, Mind & Spirit!

This month I am exited by the opportunities of refreshing which exist. As ever there are many gatherings for worship, prayer and Bible study. There is also the start of a local ALPHA COURSE at the Church on the 2nd October, for those wishing to explore faith. On the 10th I am pleased to be leading a series called “Leading in Worship”, for Christians wishing to more fully participate in worship meetings.

For the children of the area it is time for the Annual Children’s Week starting on the 22nd at Epping Junior School. We are also pleased to welcome a Team from Romford to lead our youth celebration on the 14th.
