Our Brother John Green from York led our Gospel meeting on Sunday 5th July. He encouraged us to pray for summer camps happening at Boroughbridge, Thornthwaite, Missterton and in other places.

The readings were from Psalm 32 and Luke 17 1-10. John approached the subject of forgiveness by asking four questions:

• Who should we forgive?
• What is forgiveness?
• Why is it hard to forgive?
• How much does God forgive?

We were exhorted to develop our understanding of forgiveness by forgiving each other and developing unity in the assembly.

Gospel Meeting

We were greatly blessed by our visiting speaker, John Clegg on Sunday 28th June. He presented the Gospel message using the text Matthew 10 17-22. He spoke of the choice that each individual has to make whether to accept Christ or to reject Him. He noted that during His earthly ministry the Lord spoke to crowds, to small groups and to individuals. He reminded us of the urgency of the Gospel message in the light of two inescapable facts: our mortality and the Lord's second coming [1 Thess. 4 13-18]. The rich young ruler came at the right pace; he came to the right place!

We who were at the Hall on Sunday were certainly at the right place and we wish every Blessing to John and his family.

Gospel Meeting

John Clegg from Skelmanthorpe led our meeting on 28th June and gave us all such a clear presentation of the Gospel: every individual has the opportunity to be with the Lord or to be without Him. He reminded us thet the Lord spoke to crowds, to groups and to individuals. He spoke about the urgency of the Gospel message in the light of two certainties: the mortality of each individual and the fact of Christ's return in glory. [1 Corinthians 15/John 14].



We praise the Lord for raising up our Brother in the ministry of His Word and pray that You will continue to bless him and his family. Amen
