On Saturday mornings at 11 a.m. there is an opportunity to meet up
with other people from the Fellowship over coffee
(or your preferred drink of choice).
This is at La Rustica in Playa Blanca Town, opposite the Catholic Church.
All are welcome.
From Thursday 16th January until Thursday 30th January 2025,
as a Fellowship we are entering a two week period
of Prayer & Fasting.
Please consider what you can give up & spend that time
seeking God instead.
For example, some people may be able to fast food,
for others it may be more appropriate to not watch as much TV or
engage so frequently on Social Media.
This decision is between you & God.
Pastors’ Newsletter 2024
Beloved sisters, brothers, and friends,Firstly, we trust that you had a joyous and peaceful Christmas time.
For some of you, this Advent season, we know, has been a difficult time for you.
As we come to the end of 2024, we reflect on the life of this small Church fellowship.
We see the many ways God has been working in people’s hearts as we seek to live out the vision and mission of the Church.
We are grateful to the Lord our Shepherd for His faithfulness and goodness to us His sheep.
You may remember in February of this year we had to move location once again.
Our Good Shepherd provided the current site where we meet as a church family.
As we do that, we continue to share the building with a Spanish-speaking church fellowship.
It is a great gospel partnership as we continue to share the light and life of Jesus,
with all in Playa Blanca and surrounding areas.
Earlier this year, two sisters in Christ were baptised in water as they committed to serving Jesus.
This is what it’s all about : coming into relationship with Jesus, abiding in Him and
desiring to lovingly obey and serve Him as He changes us from one degree of glory to another.
Even in the hard seasons individuals experienced, there have been testimonies of ‘God encounters.’
As you know, this year has been exceptionally challenging for many of us.
Health issues, coping with the uncertainties in personal relationships and loss of loved ones are a few to mention.
In all of these, we thank God for Jesus and the blessed hope we have as believers.
As a church family, God’s grace has been sufficient for us all during this year.
A lesson we all have learnt along the way is not to depend on ourselves, but to embrace our God Who is all-sufficient.
He is Sovereign and He determines the purpose for each moment of our lives.
King Solomon in Ecclesiastes 3 says,
“There is a time for everything and a season for every activity under heaven...”
Just like in the physical so too in the spiritual : 'Seasons come and seasons go.'
Know the season you’re in and embrace the change that it is bringing.
As a small church family, we are entering a new season.
A new season that the Lord our Shepherd is leading us into graciously.
In Isaiah 43:19 the Lord says, “See, I am doing a new thing...do you not see it.”
God is preparing us for something new.
We are not to allow things of the past, - ‘the winter of our lives’- to keep us from receiving the ‘new’ that the Lord is promising.
We are encouraging you friends to embrace the new thing God is doing in your life.
As a fellowship, let us listen closely to what His Spirit is saying.
Let us ‘tune in’ by continuing to pray, spending time with the Lover of your soul,
Jesus and stay spiritually healthy in His Word.
Embrace the new thing God is about to do in this small Church with the big heart for more of Him.
Embrace the life the Spirit gives, so that we all come alive in Christ in 2025.
Let us all look forward with great expectation to 2025 with hearts focused on Jesus.
Our prayer for you is :
“Beloved, I pray that in every way you may succeed and prosper and
be in good health (physically) just as I know your soul prospers spiritually,” (3 John verse 2 -AMP).
The Lord bless you and keep you, as go into the New Year 2025.
David and Rachel,
Pastors, Christian Worship Centre
