Great time this morning at Duncan Road Church – God bless you Sabrina as you seek to follow Jesus!

The Bible: Proverbs chapter 3 verse 5-6:

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
in all your ways submit to him,
and he will make your paths straight”

Great day on Sunday at the Harvest All-Age Service @ Duncan Road Church Southampton, followed by a very enjoyable Church meal!

Harvest time provides many opportunities in Churches and schools to share the message of Jesus with many who do not normally attend a place of worship.

“God is good and all he does is good!” – The Bible: Psalm 119 verse 68

Great opportunity to do a question and answer session with three year 4 classes at Townhill Junior School, Southampton. The pre-prepared questions ranged from ‘What is a Church?’ ‘Why do Christians pray?’ ‘What is God like?’ ‘Why do Christians eat bread & wine?’ ‘Why and when did you become a Christian?’ and many more questions about Church, the community and what Christians believe!

It was also good to introduce teachers to the RE:Quest website – a great resource, started by ‘Counties‘ but now run by ‘Youth For Christ’.

Fame at last – did you know ‘Counties‘ are famous (depending on your view for the right or wrong reason) for being named as an organisation that the National Secular Society is “concerned about”?

“Pray for us, for our conscience is clear and we want to live honourably in everything we do.” (The Bible: Hebrews 13:18 New Living Translation)

Great start this morning at Sarisbury Green Junior School, Southampton. The children listened intently as I shared the story of the lost son (Luke chapter 15)
