SUNDAY 7TH SEPTEMBER 08

Susan led worship this morning which included songs such as Holy, Holy, Holy Lord God Almighty; Great is the Lord and most Worthy of Praise; King of kings, Majesty; Jesus is the Name we honour; Rejoice! Rejoice! Christ is in YOU! Time was given to rejoice in the past week as well as ask for God's help and strength, and people wrote prayers on bricks which then formed a cross, reminding us of a God who upholds us and gives us rest, strength and salvation. Susan also reminded us of the mark that we bear as Christians, and that we should reflect that Christ is in us. Ian spoke, looking at Isaiah 6 and 61, reflecting on the churches mission statement to reflect God's Glory, and asked how we do this, and how we can be Jesus to this world. We were firstly reminded the importance of experience His Glory for ourselves and then it will shine out of us. We were then reminded with Isaiah to keep our eyes fixed on Jesus, to recognise who we are, but to let God in and change us. We were then reminded that we need His Spirit to infill us and to use us to people of healing, cleaning, wholeness, freedom - proclaiming this in the Name of Jesus and to those in this world. Time concluded with space for prayer, and the singing of Send a new touch of Power on my soul, concluding with You Servants of God, Your Master Proclaim
