Thought for the Day by Alex Forrest
​(Voluntary Staff Worker)

3 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ. 4 For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love 5 he[b] predestined us for adoption to sonship[c] through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will— 6 to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the One he loves. 
I was on holiday in Northern Ireland last week and took the opportunity to visit the Giant’s Causeway. I took this photo and it doesn’t do justice to the view. Historians say the causeway began to be formed about 50-60 million years ago.

SHOCKING NEWS THAT YOU’VE HEARD MANY TIMES BEFORE: God’s love for you is older than the Giant’s Causeway! It is older than the dinosaurs. It is older than the Earth’s crust.
​
We were chosen to be God’s holy and blameless creation, his children who he is pleased with, before everything we’ve ever seen, known or felt ever existed. Chosen to give glory to God.
And what more reason do we have to give glory to God, than out of an outpouring of love for his predestined choosing of us to be his children and inherit his kingdom, not because of anything we’ve done, but solely through the blood of Christ.

BH World Mission Awareness Month

BH World Mission Awareness Month is coming up in October
We've got some great guest & home preachers lined up to teach us what God says about our Mission Statement at BH & to inspire us to consider what part God wants us to play.
We hope to have other mission focused events throughout the month such as prayer meetings for our MPs & workshops over lunch with our guest speakers.
More details to follow in September but for now 'save the date' and get praying.
