If we thought we were in for a quiet night, we were mistaken!
It might be the start of the Easter holidays in Hampshire and some regulars going away, but once again the turn out for BB* & BB Extra* was good. Thanks to the team of helpers who contribute much to make these activities happen.
This was the last of the monthly events, next up the House party in Bournemouth!
* ‘BodyBuilders’ Youth Event (games, world focus, talk & tuck shop) & *’BodyBuilders’ Extra (Pizza & Bible Study for the oldies).

Today we had a huge answer to prayer. Park Gate Primary School in Southampton, changed their Head-Teacher in the summer and I have been trying to contact her since September to see if I could continue to visit the school for assemblies. The door looked closed as each month went by, but today I managed to speak to the new Head and she could not have been nicer! We have a date in the diary and the promise of more when I visit the school and meet her in person.

I have been taking assemblies in this school for 35 years, one of the teachers was a pupil in the school when I took my first assembly!

Speakers Corner in London’s Hyde Park is the oldest free speech platform in the world. People won the right to speak in mass protests in the 1860s and early 1870s. Some people believe the tradition is connected to the right of the condemned to a last speech before being hung at the Tyburn gallows, a practice that stopped at the end of the 18th century. Every Sunday people from all sorts of convictions come to Hyde Park in the afternoon to spread their message or to have fun.

And we’re off!
The first Hope Explored took place tonight at Duncan Road Church. Southampton. A couple of guests couldn’t make it but for the rest who came it was a good start. Please pray that those who attend will come to faith or be really assured in their faith.

What is Hope Explored?

Six hundred years before Jesus was born, a prophecy was made about him, that he would be called “Wonderful Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace”. The gospel of Luke, which is an account of Jesus’s life, explains how these prophecies came true, and that this is great news for all people.
All over the world millions of people find hope and help in knowing Jesus Christ. Hope Explored is a three-session series about the life, death and resurrection of Jesus that examines his extraordinary claims. Through teaching from Rico Tice and studies from Luke’s Gospel, Hope Explored shows how Jesus offers us a hope worth having, a hope that won’t disappoint us.

Session 1: March 18th
Session 2: March 25th
Session 3: April 1st
