Sunday at the Hall

Peter Jones remains unwell and we are praying that he is soon better. It was good to see Graham back in action today.

This evening Neil Bedford of Leeds conducted our Gospel meeting and spoke from Matthew 11 1-15. There were many interesting points especially a distinction drawn between doubt, a questioning that may lead to a deeper more thought-through faith and unbelief.
John the Baptist had an inadequate understanding of the Lord's ministry and we were challenged to jettison any false ideas we might have about the Saviour. Again there were a few children in the meeting who listened well.

On Tuesday (D.V.) we will be considering the first three verses of the Letter to the Hebrews.

On the First Day of the Week: At our Gospel Meeting on Sunday 11th October we were much Blessed by a message from our Brother Jonathan Gibson of Harrogate and by the attendance of a number of children who are known to the meeting through the work with local children that goes on during the week.

Jonathan outlined briefly six blessings that come to us when we trust in the Saviour: Peace, Grace, Hope, Love, Deliverance and Joy. He supported what he said from The Scriptures at Romans chapter 5.

Peter Jones was unable to attend meetings on the Lord's day due to feeling unwell; Graham continues to take time out to rest and find some easing of the discomfort he experiences due to a back injury. We pray that these two Brethren will be fully restored according to the Lord's Will.
