News from Eastgate Baptist Church – Revolution songs!
Last Sunday, we looked at Mary's song - also known as the Magnificat. She sang it while pregnant with Jesus, because she knew that He was the Saviour, who had come to save all who would put their trust in Him.
She declared that the poor and lowly would be lifted up and proud rulers would be cast down. Revolutionary stuff! This song was once banned for being subversive! But it's not a political revolution or worldly power that Mary is singing about – it’s a powerful revolution of love, starting with God’s love for us, which transforms hearts and then societies. That's a cause worth joining!
On Sunday 28th December, 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.
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.
We remember all who are suffering both locally and across the world and pray for peace and the hope that Jesus offers us.
