This week

From Pieter

Baptism!

Last year a person who was staying in The Priory attended our church one Sunday.  Hetty had good contact with him.  We have now heard that he has gone back to his home church, Ashtead Baptist Church near Epsom, and will be baptised as a believer on Easter Sunday.   Hetty and I are delighted about this positive development.

Next Sunday

Next Sunday we will welcome any visitors who wish to join us for Pieter and Hetty’s service and the lunch afterwards.  Please contact us us you’d like to attached. 

Prayers

1. The Baptist Union (Baptists Together) has made this week a Week of Prayerfor our Baptist family. It includes the following prayer events:

• Tuesday 25 March 7:30-8:00pm: an online national prayer gathering with those attending BU Council.  Click on the link for details: Prayer_Broadcasts
• Thursday 27 March will be a day of prayer and fasting.  There will be two times of prayer online:

• 9:00–10:00am with zoom link: https://us02web.zoom.us/  and meeting ID 589 242 6769
• 4:00–4:30pm with zoom link https://us02web.zoom.us/and meeting ID 589 242 6769

2. Tuesday 25 March is also a national day of prayer against assisted suicide. It is called by Affinity, CARE, the Christian Institute, the Christian Medical Fellowship and the Evangelical Alliance. This is an opportunity to unite in praying for the sick, the poor and the future of our health and social care services.  The NHS needs better investment to tackle rising health inequalities, an aging population and to improve end of life and palliative care across the UK.  Legalising assisted suicide is not the answer.

The next men’s breakfast will be on Saturday 26^th April, organised by Sohan.
