Loss



17For the Lamb at the center of the throne will be their shepherd;
he will lead them to springs of living water.
And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes." Revelation 7:17 NIV.

Our Church is grieving for the loss of a dear, precious brother in Christ. This song was sung by two young people who loved their Uncle George dearly. George loved to preach from the book of Revelation. I will miss his preaching, his passion for the Bible and Jesus, his smile, friendship, and his Godly example of how to be a Christian and live for Jesus - 'Well done, good and faithful servant! ' Matthew 25;21 NIV.

Thank God for hope and His faithfulness to us.

For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Jeremiah 29:11 NIV.

May we all cling to this verse and others like it that remind us of the amazing hope we have in Jesus.

Hi again




Hello again everyone! A Happy New Year to all as well. I hope you all had a lovely Christmas and New Year.

We had a cold, white Christmas and still are experiencing a big freeze here! I have posted some pics of the scenery.

So much has happened over the last few weeks I just don't know where to begin. One of our dear, dear brothers in Christ was called home unexpectedly on Sunday night. George was one of our Church elders and had been ill for several months. He wasn't an old man and up until this point had been full of life and joy. So right now his family and Church family are hurting.

I am finding it hard to understand as are many others. I take comfort in knowing that he is now with our Saviour.

" 4He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away."

Revelation 21 NIV.

So could those of you who pray please remember our Church in prayer and George's family. He was a dear friend and we loved him and love his family so much.
