On 28th November Jonathan Gibson of Harrogate led our meeting and gave us ministry from Luke chapter 8. There we find several examples of what God can do to transform lives and several examples of the responses of people to the Word of God.
Tonight [5th December] Graham Elliot of our own assembly led our meeting ministering to us from the early chapters of the first Book of Samuel and encouraging us to seek the Will of God in all areas of our lives especially those that are difficult or problematic and to commit ourselves to fully trust in Him to work things out for us, knowing that he always seeks our highest good.
Next Sunday afternoon d.v. we shall be conducting a Carol Service for the residents of Elsinor Residential Home. During the next two weeks we will be meeting local residents as we distribute calendars and tracts. Your prayers for these activities would be welcome.

On 14th November Jim Dryden, who was with us for a period of ten weeks while working locally stood in for an absent speaker. He reminded us of the objective truth of the Gospel referring to the second chapter of Ephesians and also pointed out some of the theological errors of the Jehovah's Witnesses.
On 21st November Rob Mitchell of the Leeds City Mission [LCM]led our Gospel Meeting and gave a full report on the activities of LCM. These include visiting persons detained in police custody over the weekend, street witness, the bookstall in the market, discipling, prayer meetings and speaking engagements.
Romans 1 16-17. He then spoke on the Power of the Gospel to bring us to righteousness through reconciliation with God, to act as his witnesses and to transform our relationships with people. Rob will shortly be leaving LCM and we wish him well and pray that the Lord will clearly reveal His purpose for him and his wife.

On Sunday 7th November Fergus Yuille of Whitby presented the Gospel using John 4 43-54 as a text.

Gospel Meeting
This evening the meeting was led by Mark Reynolds of SASRA, who has for the last twelve years been stationed at Catterick. All new recruits to the Army pass through this barracks which means that by now a substantial proportion of serving soldiers have come under the sound of the Gospel and many have been led to faith in Jesus Christ.
His approach this evening was anecdotal but there were also many Scriptural references:Psalm 66 10 -11, 1 Peter1 1-9, Malachi 3 3, 2 Corinthians 3 18, Job 23 10, Psalm 34 8, Rev 21 8-9 and John 10. Food for the soul!

Peter and Audrey Jones continue to make good recovery from their hip repair operations but are suffering with colds. We pray that the Lord will strengthen and encourage them. We also pray similarly for Terry and Iris Benstead. We pray for those who will be attending the Yorkshire Bible Study Week in Whitby next week and especially for those who have the responsibility of organising it, Philip Kaye and Jonathan Gibson.
I was pleased to join with saints at Loampit Gospel Hall, London around the Lord's Table during a weekend away and delighted to share fellowship with senior members of staff from the Midland Bible Institute, Jamaica.
I thank the Lord for journeying mercies and for His protection and care.

Gospel Hall News
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?
