We’ve just received the latest newsletter from Regions Beyond, the family of churches that we’re part of.
It includes news from Hope Church in London and Jubilee Church in Hull, plus a New Year message from Steve Oliver, who leads the network. Read it here. Enjoy!
This month, we are releasing a number of launch videos for our Chester-le-Street congregation as they prepare to become Redeemer Church on Sunday 26th January.
For this week’s video, we take a closer look at the 6 values of Redeemer Church:
Up - Grace
- Power
In - Authenticity
- Generosity
Out - Courage
- Mercy
You can watch the video below.
The last of the videos will be shown next Sunday (19th January) during our joint commissioning service at The Durham Centre.
At our Christmas Family Service, we invited people of all ages to share what God has done for them. We heard some amazing stories.
Here are a few wonderful snippets of God’s goodness:
“God is helping me beat my heroin illness”
“God has taken away my fear of death. He has given me the joy of knowing that my sins are forgiven”
“Kept me strong through the storm, Held my faith when I was weak”
“God saved my life and I am thankful”
“God gave me a little sister”
“We are all searching for identity on this world but my identity is in Jesus”
“I wasn’t enjoying maths at school, I prayed about it and over the week it got more interesting”
“When I lost my job God provided work for me to do working with the most vulnerable. I feel so privileged to do this and thank God for the strength and trust that He has placed in me”
“God told me to adopt and led me to Isla”
