Counting Down

A second blog today?? YES because it's Countdown time!
Only 5 weeks to go until REAL 2012 - can't wait! And it's not only me that's excited - here's what Dave Betts wrote about the REAL conference...

Day 75: This is for REAL.

Posted on by
Here comes the sun! And with it comes the summer…and that can only mean one thing.
On the 22nd and 23rd June (thanks to Andy for the correction), we’re hosting our annual women’s conference: REAL 2012. I’m currently sitting here with the worship set list next to me and particularly after our rehearsal last night I couldn’t be more excited for the the conference to get here. Yes, it’s a women’s conference and no, it’s not for me. No, I’m not wife hunting either (let’s be honest, some of you were about to make that joke!). Still, it’s such a privilege to fill the Kerith auditorium with passionate worshippers and dwell in God’s presence, learning more about the unforced rhythms of grace that Jesus talks about in Matthew 11 (the Message version).
There’s plenty of time in between now and June 22nd if you still want to get to the conference itself. Just click here to go to the Kerith website and find out more information.
If you are still undecided about whether you want to come or not, the answer is simple: come on! My soul could always do with more of God and I’m sure yours could too. I look forward to seeing you there…that’s if I’ve not been relegated to the green room with the rest of the men!

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
