Baptisms and Stories

What a brilliant day yesterday in Church! Baptisms at every meeting and then storming preaches from Stuart, Ben and Liam - gifted young men, passionate about Jesus and communicating truth. Their Talks will be up on the website soon. I loved seeing the variety of people taking part - from preachers to baptisers to those being baptised. The stories people told about their personal journeys and how they have come to faith were so inspiring.
The catalyst for a whole family becoming followers of Christ was their teenage daughter's baptism last summer.
A visit from a kind and caring CAP representative was the start of a journey of faith for one lovely lady.
ALPHA had been so helpful in helping people understand and experience faith in Jesus for themselves.
LIFE on a Friday night played a huge role in introducing many young people to Jesus and "that something missing".
We heard about moves from other countries; friendships at school; prayers being answered for family difficulties and bullying at school, All the people different, all their stories different. All one Jesus and one Church - love it!

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

3 Little Bottles

Thought I'd mix it up today and do something lighthearted here. I popped into town this morning (as an aside, anyone else still incredulous that "new Bracknell / The Lexicon is so great and that it's really here to stay?!)  Anyhow, I popped into town for a quick wander and bought 3 "essentials" I'd run out of, so I thought I'd share them with you - and of course I'd love to hear about your 3 recent essential purchases. 1 Contact lense solution I've worn glasses since Secondary school, and contact lenses since I left Uni. Gas permeables - great for me - slightly perilous in swimming pools / the sea / other people's sinks (£80 to replace). They work for me - and so a couple of bottles of solution each month keep me going.I ran out a couple of days ago, so it was £4.70 well spent for clean lenses and clear eyesight. 2. "Buffet" by The Ordinary This was a new one for me, a present I received last Christmas. I LOVE it and can
