The Apostle Paul gives plenty of sound advice about how to run the race of our life in his letter to Ephesians.
After Naomi Snelling spoke about maturing in our spiritual lives last week, David Beales will be reading Ephesians 4; 17 - 5; 18 this Sunday to see some of the behaviours and attitudes called for among maturing followers of Jesus.
Dave Watson will be leading the music and there will be space to continue in prayer for the needs of the world. Katie Williams has prepared a creative activity for children which will be a colourful and fun reflection on God's creation.
Saturday 11th August: New Students Tour of Colchester!
Enoch Kunarajah writes: We are organising the Colchester History Tour (tour guide is our own David Beales) for some new students at Essex uni who are here now for pre sessional English...It will be this Saturday starting at 11a.m, from Abbeygate 2. The tour will be for 1 hr and then we will have shared lunch at 12p.m...
If you are free we would love to see you at the tour or come later at 12p.m to meet the new students and have some lunch. Your presence in welcoming the new students at DNA would be a special moment to many new students.. Please do come if you can!
