January 25 Recap
I have set the Lord always before me; Because He is at my right hand I shall not be moved. (Psalm 16:8)
This was the key verse Pastor Jonathan encouraged us all to hold onto on the first Sunday of this new year. Throughout the month Pastor Jonathan has taught us through various Psalms while on Sunday evenings Pastor Steve has resumed the series Follow & Share, looking at the Life of Peter. We have already highlighted that on Tuesday evenings Pastor Jonathan began a new teaching series on the book of 1 Thessalonians and Discipleship Explored commenced.
We praise God for Gary being restored to the faith and for Curtis trusting in Christ as his Saviour. We pray for many more souls to be reached throughout this year. It was fantastic to have Mick Concannon along at Reach Out and Kerry Connolly from Scripture Union NI along at our special missionary night on Tuesday 14th.
All the ministries recommenced after Christmas, although the weather throughout the month has proved challenging with some preferring to stay in the safety and comfort of their own home. Due to the red weather warning for storm Éowyn the Friday Night Club had to cancel. Thrive did have a special visit though on 28th from Made for More sharing the importance of giving our worries over to God.
Pastor Steve has had a variety of opportunities to go into the schools. Taking assemblies in Blackmountain and Glenwood Primary school, and SU groups in the Girls Model and Forth River Primary. We thank God for our schools and pray God’s blessing upon every member of staff and child.
Meanwhile, there are many in our local community and within our church family who are hurting after the passing of a loved one. We extend our love to all of those who are grieving and pray that God’s love would surround them and bring comfort.
We are excited for what lies ahead in 2025 and look to the Lord for His leading and guiding!
