ALL WELCOME
Hallelujah! Christ is Risen.
HE IS RISEN INDEED – HALLELUJAH!
Happy Easter! Hallelujah! Christ is Risen!
PLEASE PRAY for peace this Easter, and for a
chance to share that peace with others. Pray that
others will know not just know that Jesus died but why
He died – for their sins, for their forgiveness, for their
peace. But most importantly, that He rose again! And
that He lives today!
READ THE GOOD NEWS
Acts 5:27-32 “We are witnesses of these things, and
so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who
obey Him.” In a society that becomes less and
less concerned with the will of God and more
concerned about conforming and selfish ambition, be
proud and stand firm in your beliefs, trust in the Holy
Spirit, His Spirit, that He has given us, His believers,
His army, to serve His kingdom and to seek Him above
all others.

Read all the latest new from across the #Meltham Parish in the April magazine. Sorry it’s a bit late this month.
PLEASE PRAY for a revitalising of your faith. As Easter approaches and we reflect on the sacrifice that Jesus gave, so we might live. Let us pray for a new lease of life, of faith and of communion with Him.
READ THE GOOD NEWS – Luke 19:28-40
‘I tell you,’ he replied, ‘if they keep quiet, the stones will cry out.’ God made us to praise Him, to sing to Him, to worship Him! He is so worthy of our praise that if we were to keep quiet, the stones would cry out in our place. Let us be passionate in our worship to Him (and not be outdone by stones!)

PLEASE PRAY for our Nation to turn back to God. During such an uncertain time, pray that we would not try to succeed of our own accord, but recognise that it is through God’s strength and wisdom that the outcome is determined. As our Good News reading says this week, He longs to gather His children, like a hen gathers her chicks under her wing. Pray that our Government would recognise that, and come to Him in prayer.
