Inspire Womens Conference

Two of my good friends, both great local leaders are hosting and speaking at the Inspire Ladies Conference in Camberley on Saturday 13th November. It's a local Newfrontiers conference hosted by Beacon Church . Bev Landreth-Smith is hosting; and Liz Green from Reading is one of the speakers.
The theme of the day is "Identity". Bev's written on the invitation: "We are specifically looking at how to identify our own God-given gifts and talents, and to use them for the benefit of the Kingdom of God! It looks like a great day - nice and close too. Cost is £10, You can pre-order lunch for £6.50.

This requires listening to God and finding out how to use our time and gifts in the right arena. We will examine how as we get older and wiser we can change where and when we use those gifts and talents. We will look at what Jesus said and did, what he says about us, and what he wants us to do.
We will hear a testimony of a lady who has made certain choices about how she has used her gifts and talents. We will look at our personality types and try to recognise the best way for us to be serving God."

Why not find a friend to go with - it's always more fun to share the experience. More details are here

"... Nobody has a perfect life - everyone else's life looks great ..but everybody has challenges. We're constantly judging our insides against everyone else's outsides " Ruthie Henshall on Woman's Hour last week So true!

Guest Blog: Esther in Indonesia

I'm delighted to welcome Esther Ross-Watson to my Blog today! She is a dearly loved member of our Kerith family. She and her late husband Michael served as missionaries for many years. Esther bravely made the decision to travel again, and she has recently returned from Indonesia. Here's her story: Whilst Michael was on his last days on earth in August 2017 he received a request from the Island of Madura, Indonesia asking us to return to the town of Pamekasen, Madura, Indonesia where we had begun our Missions work in July 1973 exactly one year after we were married. They were keen to have us see what God had been doing in the years since we’d moved on and we excitedly said ‘Yes’ we will come! Obviously that had to go on hold for a while because I didn’t feel I could, or even wanted to go alone! Anyway around March/April time 2018, I begun to feel a gentle nudging of the Holy Spirit urging me to think some more about it! It was like a feeling of wanting to know

Our Living Hope

Not sure what happens with my blog...or me writing my blog! Can't believe I've been away from it for almost two months. Oh well, no condemnation! Let's pick it up and start again :) Yesterday was a great day in Church! I was so challenged and encouraged - I love Sundays and all the different ways God shows His love and who he is to us. Natalie Jones preached at both our morning meetings in Bracknell , she gave such a good message on generosity, be sure to catch it when the podcast comes on our website, but for now, watch a summary of Natalie's preach At the 6pm meeting, we had Paul Manwaring sharing about culture : the 4 Gamechangers - again, a really challenging message to check out if you didn't get to hear it live. I wore my HOPE earrings yesterday - sometimes I deliberately choose to wear them as a practical symbol that I am choosing HOPE - that I choose Jesus, I choose trust, I choose hope. I'm so glad I did, as throughout the day I felt God speak
