PLEASE PRAY for our churches, for churches around the nation and all over the world. For churches to be filled, not just with His people, but with His Holy Spirit.

READ THE GOOD NEWS – Mark 10.46-end
Bartimaeus, even though disadvantaged and discouraged by others, was determined not to let Jesus pass by without meeting Him, and as a result received his sight. We too have the privilege to meet with Jesus, personally and collectively, and be in His presence. Don’t let the opportunity pass you by.

PLEASE PRAY for each other. Please take this opportunity to ask the person next to you ‘what do you need prayer for?’ and commit to praying for one another over the next week and see how God moves and brings us closer together.

READ THE GOOD NEWS – Mark 10.35-45

PLEASE PRAY for Florida as they recover from devastating damage caused by Hurricane Michael. For islands in the Pacific who have suffered major earthquakes this week. For other areas experiencing devastating disasters. ‘…There will be earthquakes in various places; there will be famines. These are but the beginning of the birth pains’. Mark 13.8

READ THE GOOD NEWS – Mark 10.17-31
Let us not be mistaken by thinking that God does not want us to succeed or have nice things. Regardless of whether we are ‘rich’ or ‘poor’, whatever we have on this earth, we should all be willing to sacrifice everything to follow Jesus and live a life for Him and with Him. ‘Then Peter spoke up, “We have left everything to follow You!”

SUNDAY 21st OCTOBER 2018

The Service at St James’ will have a slight difference on the 21st October. We will be celebrating Morning Worship with Reflections. The Theme will be ‘God’s Story – Our Story’ and we are fortunate to have a Guest Speaker.

Jacqui Hance will be with us to share her Personal Story.

Jacqui has a family and is the wife of the fairly recently appointed Dean of Derby Cathedral. She has also recently been appointed as Regional Manager with Operation Christmas Child. As Meltham is included in the area for which she is responsible, and as we will be only a couple of weeks away from the start of the 2018 OCC November campaign, we look forward to also hearing from her about new role.

We do hope as many people as possible will be able to come along and support Jacqui as she shares with us.

READ THE GOOD NEWS – Mark 10.2-16
Let us faithfully lift up our children to the Lord and declare salvation, protection and health over their lives. Let us be reminded that they are not ‘the next generation’ but the NOW generation.
