Precept Upon Precept

Precept kicked off again this year in the Fire Safety building beside the fire station (quite ironic since our building was burnt down!).

This year we are going to be studying the sermon on the mount over 11 months. May Green lead the first meeting. It was a very interesting introduction to what seems to be a very compelling and challenging study.




Anyone who wishes to join the group please leave a comment below and we will get back to you with the details. Precept will be held on the second Wednesday of every month, venue to be confirmed (watch this space)!

TODDLERS

Toddlers went ahead as planned on Tuesday morning!

What an encouragement after the fire... 11 adults and 9 children turned up to join in with the fun, not including the people already connected to the church. We started at 10.30am and finished shortly after twelve. It was a great morning which happened thanks to all those people who so kindly donated and bought new toys. Melissa and I were so greatful to and comforted by everyone who displayed their immense generosity.

We want to raise a prayer of thanks to God- tuesday morning was a great success and we pray that God will use the circumstances as a means of even more people hearing about toddlers. ( one or two of the ladies had heard about Toddlers on the news)!

Here are some pictures from the morning- there will also be an article in The Newtownards Chronicle this week discussing the fire and also the success of toddlers despite peoples attempts to damage and destroy.

CHURCH FIRE

This morning we arrived at church and were devasted to see that the portacabin which we all worked so hard to finish and prepare for the church childrens activities had been destroyed by a fire.

The fire appears to have been started by vandals and occurred in the early hours of Sunday morning. Although this is a great tragedy, we WILL be running all the church activites as planned for the autumn.

Toddlers, our new activity for tots and their carers, will take place as planned this Tuesday morning (September 11th) in the Scout Hall at 10.30am.


Please pray that God will bring some good out of this terrible situation, as we continue to show the love of God to the Ards community.
