Heather Henry and Barbara McDade from Scripture Union gave an
update of the 'Churches and Schools Together' project and spoke
about the need to Pray for SU and teachers and pupils involved
in school SU groups; Encourage the SU District Schools' Worker -
Judith Dunn; and Give by supporting the work of the 'Churches
and Schools Together' project financially.
In a challenging address, the Rev John Keefe spoke of three
reasons why we do not come to Jesus - the only Saviour. Mr Keefe
said that: We are INSENSITIVE to our need of Christ and just do
not feel that we need Him in our lives. We are IMPENITENT of our
sins and don't want to give things up. We DON'T BELIEVE that
God's promise is for us. Mr Keefe concluded by emphasising the
need to believe God's promise and come to Him that we might have
life.
Valerie Wiggam on organ, Judith Martin on piano and a group of
musicians led the praise. Nelson Small assisted by Laura Martin
introduced some items of praise including 'Men of faith rise up
and sing', 'No one but you Lord' and 'Remember God knows all you
need'.
