Great crowd last night at Stubbington Snooker Centre for January’s men’s outreach ‘The Net’.

After a few long frames of snooker, we moved into the function room where Tim Hancock shared a talk in the series ‘Objections to the Christian Faith’. Tim’s topic was, ‘I’m Perfectly OK Without God’.

Please pray for the many ‘unChurched’ men who came along.

Following the tragic events of last week in Paris, it has been good to share some good news this week with one thousand pupils in three schools (two junior and one senior school).
The theme for the assemblies was the national motto of France : Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité (Liberty, Equality & Fraternity).

The Christian faith emphasises these important values of ‘Liberty, Equality & Fraternity’ and the story of the Good Samaritan perfectly illustrates them.
In the junior schools it was good to also to teach the children a Christian song based on these essential principles.

Penny would also value your prayers regarding what she should do with those contacts that are having to be turned away – please pray for wisdom.

“Maker of the sun,
He is made under the sun.
In the Father he remains,
From his mother he goes forth.
Creator of heaven and earth,
He was born on earth under heaven.
Unspeakably wise,
He is wisely speechless.
Filling the world,
He lies in a manger.
Ruler of the stars,
He nurses at his mother’s bosom.
He is both great in the nature of God,
And small in the form of a servant.”

Saint Augustine.

“The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.”

John’s gospel chapter 1 verse 14.
