BH Bulletin - Friday 17 September 2021

Thought for the Day by Phil Washington (BH Member)

Do Not Fear
 
‘So do not fear, for I am with you’ Isaiah 41:10
 
This wonderful verse speaks of the Power, the Presence and the Protection of God
 
The Power – Our heavenly Father is the Almighty God. Nothing is impossible for Him. Nothing is too hard. The Lord God Almighty has power over nature, demons, sickness, death and sin. He is powerful to create, and powerful to destroy.
 
The Presence – God is not distant from the believer. He is with us. His presence is without and within. By the Holy Spirit, He abides within out hearts. It’s a presence that brings life in all it’s fullness. It’s a presence that brings unspeakable joy and peace.
 
The Protection – The God of Almighty power and of intimate presence is also the God who protects us. He is the shepherd tenderly guarding His flock. He is the glorious King, the gracious, patient, loving Father.
 
So, do not fear – not at all. God will protect us against the world, the flesh and the devil. He will bring us safely and triumphantly to our glorious heavenly home.
 
‘Yes, my soul, find rest in God’ Psalm 62:5

Wednesday Prayer 

I'd like us to re-start our Wednesday Prayer, at 7.00 pm for 30 minutes.
There are so many thing for us to be praying for as a church, not least our witness and outreach, perhaps especially as we look forward to joining in with the national A Passion For Life initiative in the spring of next year. But there are many more things we will want to be praying for as well.
So, 7.00 Wednesday, for Wednesday Prayer for just half an hour, on Zoom.  Join through Churchsuite or the website
We start next week, 22 September.
​Phil

The BH Bulletin and Thought for the Day

Just to let you know that the Thought for the Day which we started at the beginning of the pandemic will be taking a break from the end of September. That in turn means that the Bulletin will only be published on a Wednesday with important information, or at other times if there are urgent things to communicate to the church family.
We will be back though, for particular seasons such as Advent, and of course if we end up in another lockdown.
But for now, just simply a very big thank you to all those who've contributed to our Thoughts for the Day which have helped us hugely to know Jesus better and stay close to him in some very difficult and challenging times.
