I would value your prayers today as I take the Funeral and Thanksgiving service for Maureen McClenaghan who recently passed away. Maureen was a regular at our Hawthorne Court services and used to attend West End Chapel. Fareham.

Pray that what is shared will bring comfort to the family & friends who attend and that something of the message of hope we have in Jesus Christ will challenge and help others to come to faith in the Saviour.

“And when I think that God, his Son not spar­ing,
Sent him to die, I scarce can take it in,
That on the cross, my bur­den glad­ly bear­ing,
He bled and died to take away my sin.”

Evangelism @ Speakers Corner. Hyde Park. London.

“Our business is to present the Christian faith clothed in modern terms, not to propagate modern thought clothed in Christian terms. Confusion here is fatal.” – J. I. Packer

Speakers Corner in London’s Hyde Park is the oldest free speech platform in the world. People won the right to speak in mass protests in the 1860s and early 1870s. Some people believe the tradition is connected to the right of the condemned to a last speech before being hung at the Tyburn gallows, a practice that stopped at the end of the 18th century. Every Sunday people from all sorts of convictions come to Hyde Park in the afternoon to spread their message or to have fun.

The Alresford Show is a great day out.
Penny will be face painting, I will be looking after my MEGA second-hand bookstall and we thank the locals (New Farm Chapel) for inviting us to work alongside them as we share the good news with those who attend.

The Alresford Agricultural Show is, quite simply, a celebration of rural life and the communities which live in it. It is a one day event, always on the first Saturday in September held in the beautiful Tichborne Park, by kind permission of the Tichborne Estate and Grange Farm Partnership. The park is transformed from cattle grazing land for 3 weeks of the year into the Showground by a dedicated team of volunteers.

Join us to see the prize winning animals, watch the horses compete, sample tasty local food and drink, be amazed by the modern and vintage machinery, enter your dog in the dog show and enjoy the wide range of shopping choice. There is FREE children’s entertainment and much, much more.
