Faith and Society Update - April 2024

MonthlyUpdate Apr2024
Dear Friends

As we embrace the sunshine and showers of April, the Team are busy getting ready for Baptist Assembly next month.  We are excited to be able to meet all together in one place as a Baptist family, particularly as this year we get to do this over Pentecost weekend.   Please do take time to check out details of Assembly.
 
16x9-ATIOP 1000The focus of Assembly is very much on the coming of the Holy Spirit as told by Luke in Acts 2.  We are looking to embrace different ways of sharing the Good News of Jesus, just as Peter did that first Pentecost.
 
On Friday afternoon there will be space for deeper resourcing with five streams on offer. Come and join:

  • Chris Duffett to learn something about art and evangelism
  • the Everyone Everywhere session as we explore how God is leading us to be church right where we are
  • BMS World Mission exploring the Road to Reconciliation
  • Young Adults and Whole-life Discipleship, with Isabella Senior
  • A workshop for anyone who is a 'Designated Person for Safeguarding' 

Come and join us, come altogether in one place, come ready to be blessed and to bless each other.  

Every blessing

Diane, Hilary, Jane, Mary, Mat, Mike, Paul, Sharon, Steve and Wale
