This week's word from our vicar Richard Poole

I am really looking forward to our third Church weekend away at the York House Hotel in Eastbourne next weekend. (May 2-4)

This year our speaker will be Graham Archer from Highfield Church in Southampton. He is a New Wine speaker whom I heard speak a few years ago and who is well worth listening to. I am sure we are in for a real treat.

Graham will be speaking on “The Questions That God Asks” and he will be sharing how God never asks us a question because he is looking for the answer. It is going to be a great time, and please note that it is still not too late to book.
We are delighted that Jeremy Brown will be leading the children’s work and Anne Mathieson will be leading the group for the teenagers. Hopefully the weather will be good and we can enjoy some time on the beach together, or perhaps doughnuts on the pier, or even a swim—not in the sea but in the Hotel’s swimming pool (But be warned, it is small!)

Our key aims for the weekend are for us all to draw closer to the Lord and at the same time get to know each other a bit better. The weekend will be fairly relaxed with plenty of free time, as well as times to worship together, learn together and have some fun.

Speak to one another with psalms, hymns and spiritual songs. Sing and make music in your heart to the Lord, always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. (Ephesians 5:19-20)

For those who can’t be with us for the weekend, we will miss you, but still come along to St. Andrew’s because there will be Sunday services at our usual times of 9:00am and 10:30am

We will tell the next generation the praiseworthy deeds of the LORD.
( Psalm 78:4)
