JC21 - the second meeting!

Well - the show's really on the road now! About 40 gathered to hear the how Jesus Christ, alive and dealing with people today, can help people be free from their pasts. And most of us do have pasts that we're only too well aware of. Sam from our church testified how her past had led her to the brink of suicide although you wouldn't know it now if you met her.

Several people responded to an invitation to let Jesus begin to turn things round.

All very wonderful, it's great to start feeling established as a new church but we're only scratching the surface so far. If you're reading this and you're wondering if there's a God out there who really exists and can really reach you then please come along to our next JC21 in a fortnight (Sunday 3 April at 3.30). We promise not to embarrass anyone but welcome you with drinks and treats!

JC21 - the first meeting!

Hope Church Thetford feels really under way now as 40 or so of us gathered at the Carnegie Rooms in Thetford to have our first Sunday afternoon meeting. We had quite a few guests and Grantley Watkins' presentation of "Why do I matter?" had everyone gripped. Of course, the appeal at the end of the meeting wasn't to come more to church but to come and receive the living Jesus Christ as Saviour. And discover reality, not religion! Some people responded and that was great - what we're really here for in fact.

A word too about all those who worked hard to get the PA and technical stuff working, welcomed people warmly on the door, looked after the children with enthusiasm and patience and, of course, those who baked lots of yummy goodies - heroes of all of you!

We do it again in two weeks - Sunday 20th March, 3.30pm at the Carnegie Rooms in Thetford and the subject is "How can I be free of my past?"

Please come and find out what this is all about!
