Gospel Meetings continue weekly: Paul Richardson of Harrogate led our meeting on Sunday 12th September using the texts Romans 1 18-23 and John 15 21-22. One of his points was that atheists are motivated by a desire to evade being responsible for their acts.
David Heyhoe of Hull led our meeting on 19th September using verses from Jeremiah 17 and emphasized the spiritual truth that salvation depends not on doing "good works" but on trusting in what God has done in the Life, Death and Resurrection of His Son, our Lord Jesus Christ.
We were pleased to have as visitors, Jack and Isa Douglas last Lord's Day. During the afternoon Jack gave a report on the ongoing work amongst the Pawaia, a people group in Papua New Guinea amongst whom Jack and Isa lived as missionaries for many years. Jack then led the Gospel meeting reading from Luke 2 and Matthew 22, asking the questions:what does it mean to be a Christian? how can we be made fit for heaven? What do you think of the Son of God?

Gospel Meetings
On 22nd August Phillip Martin of our own assembly conducted the Gospel Meeting, preaching the Good News of Salvation freely offered in Christ Jesus and made some remarks concerning the priority of Gospel preaching in the life of the assembly and its ongoing work. The meeting began with a reading with commentary of Psalm 34.
We were blessed with the presence of visiting friends, Phillip and Lianne Tilsney with their two young children of County Down, Northern Ireland. Mary Midgley of Burniston and her son Andrew were also present.
Ewing Cross of Huddersfield led our meeting on 29th August with readings from Acts 25 23 &26 and ch. 26 1-3 and 24-29. He explained the meaning of the word "Christian"
Rex Maffey of Leeds led our meeting tonight, 5th September with readings from Psalms 1 1-3, 22 1-3, 14 1-3 and 32 1-2. He presented the Faithful Man [the Lord Jesus], Him Forsaken, the filthy man [all of us] and the forgiven man - he who has trusted the Saviour for Salvation.
Pray for our visitor, Alan a man recently discharged from Army Service due to injuries received and also visiting friends from Consett in County Durham, Keith and Lorraine Rodd who shared with us in the Breaking of Bread.
The girls 11+ group enjoyed a barbecue on Friday 3rd September.
