News from Eastgate Baptist Church – Do I really need to forgive that person?
Last Sunday, our sermon was based on the Apostle Paul's letter to Philemon, urging him to forgive Onesimus. Maybe there is someone you need to forgive? Or someone you need to say sorry to? It's good to start the new year in the right way, and to be at peace with others as we move forward in to 2026. Jesus showed us the way by offering us forgiveness and He will give us the grace to forgive others, if we ask Him.
We wish you all a happy, healthy and peaceful new year!
On Sunday 11th January, Breakfast Church will start at 9.30am and there will be a warm welcome for everyone! We will have a breakfast of coffee, cereal, toast, fruit and warm pastries, then we will have a short talk, a prayer and a song. After a short break, the second part of the service will include more worship, a sermon and prayers, as well as Sunday school and a creche, until about 11.15am. The service will also be on Zoom. The Zoom ID is 5912614502, password: Eastgate.
We have our weekly prayer meeting at 9am on Thursdays in the vestry, and on Saturday mornings, you can drop in to the church for coffee and prayer between 10am and 11am.
Our new Wednesday evening Bible studies with videos from The Chosen series, based on the life of Christ, are also beginning soon – watch this space!
We have several rooms and a hall that can be hired for parties, clubs or meetings. Call 07581 807060 on Tuesday to Saturday to discuss what you need.
