November begins with Remembrance Day.   This is the day to commemorate the sacrifices of the armed forces and of civilians in times of war.   We as Christians have things to remember.   Psalm 106 shows us what we should remember.

‘Praise the LORD.   Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good;  his love endures for ever.   Who can proclaim the mighty acts of the LORD or fully declare his praise?’   (Psalm 106: 1-1)

David recalls how he and his ancestors had sinned and forgotten the Lord’s love for them, yet God saved them and rescued them from their enemies.   They continued to go astray, but time after time God delivered them because of his love.

Do we remember how our Lord loves us for our past lives?   Let me encourage you to write down what our Lord has done either individually or with your family.   Let’s remember his glorious miracles and profound love.   Then thank him aloud, for “who can ever praise him half enough?”

God bless.                    Dong

BETWEEN FRIENDS

 We remember those of our fellowship who are not well, or confined to home;  Jim Ev..s, Vera G..ve,  Arthur Ker...y , and those who are finding it difficult to get to worship and meetings.  We assure them all of our thoughts and prayers.

 WORLD MISSION FUND

Every six months, in May and November, I collect donations from several members of the church for The World Mission Fund (previously Fund for World Missions), but as time goes by, the number of donors is decreasing.   If you would like to make a donation, either on a regular basis or as a ‘one off’, to support this part of the Church’s work, please have a word with me.  

 The Kingston Circuit raised an overall total of £8,236.93 during the year to 31 August, of which Chessington contributed £675.32 to the General Fund, £66.98 to JMA and £265.30 to Network.   The latter figure includes the Easter Offering envelopes.
