May has arrived and with it the Season of Pentecost!
Pentecost is the Birthday of the Church. The first Church in Jerusalem 2000 years ago was
marked by a new way of life, revealed by Gods LOVE , POWER & DIVINE ORDER. In
1999 many non Church goers think those days are past and that all Churches are marked by
falling attendances, little Love or Power and with leaders who do not preach or believe
the basic MORAL and SPIRITUAL truths of the message of JESUS CHRIST.
At EPPING FOREST ELIM CHURCH we are glad to be a Bible
believing Church, part of the world-wide explosion of Pentecostal and Charismatic
Churches. Just among the Elim Churches in the U.K. during the last ten years there
have been 200 NEW CHURCHES OPENED!! More than 3 a month!! Here in Epping it is great
to have new friends joining the fellowship month after month. Sharing in the FAITH of
Christ , finding a place in Gods FAMILY and growing in the FIRE of the Holy Spirit. You
are very warmly welcome to the life and activities of the Church.
P.S. - A Special welcome to the team of Elim Bible College
Students working with
us this month. Jean Fayard / Jason Still / Simon Bell

Best wishes also to Jane , Pam and the boys as they fly out
to Zimbabwe to
help at the orphanage.
A Promise to the beleiver - " He ( Jesus ) will
baptise you with the Holy
