What's your favourite worship song? Join John to explore the songs we sing and why we sing them. This week, do you feel as though you are waiting for something to change? Maybe you are wondering where God is? Our song 'Do It Again' by Steven Furtick, Matt Redman, Chris Brown and Mack Brock, reflects just this experience - waiting for change to come while at the same time knowing that God has been faithful in the past and we can trust in His promises. So listen to what John has to say and think about the words of the song. The night won't last, God's Word will come to pass... Dear Friends, How do you encounter God’s love?

 Light Party update: Sadly we are unable to run a light party this year so instead we have made up Light Packs for children to have fun with over half term. As part of this we are inviting them to create a tissue paper ‘stained glass window’ and stick it up in their window, lighting a candle behind it on the 31st to ‘Be the light in your street.’ They can then send in photos to Jess who will create a collage of all these lights shining in Ware. We would love for you to be a part of this. We cannot provide all the grown-ups with the resources but if you can create something for your window or light a candle on the 31st then please do join in being a light on you street and send in photos to Jess children@christchurchware.co.uk. Some of the pages from the pack are available HERE if you would like to pass these onto people. Please also be praying for the children who receive these packs. Youth Pastor - Following Christians departure in January we are looking to recruit his replacement.

What's your favourite worship song? Join John to explore the songs we sing and why we sing them. This week, there's a chance to listen to 'Good Good Father' by Pat Barret and Anthony Brown and to think of all the times in the Bible that God shows himself to be that Good Father, like in Matthew 7:11 "..if you sinful people know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give good gifts to those who ask him." But maybe this song will help you to do more than just listen and remember stories; maybe you will encounter God's love for you as the reality that it is. What's your experience of God as a Good Father? Dear Friends, Worship songs can be a powerful weapon in life’s battles that we face: The next video in our series about seeking God in Song is available HERE. Why not take the opportunity to allow God to strengthen you as you listen. 24 hour prayer: The next 24 hour prayer day is Wednesday 14 October.

Join John to explore the songs we sing and why we sing them. This week, he thinks about how listening and worshipping to "See a Victory" by Steven Furtick, Ben Fielding, Jason Ingram and Chris Brown can be a powerful weapon in the battles we face. This song reminds us that the battle belongs to the Lord - "He gives us victory over sin and death through our Lord Jesus Christ." 1 Cor 57. So continue to trust in God as He fights for us. Remember that our battle is spiritual - "we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places". Eph 6:12 Dear Friends, How do you deal with fear? The next video in our series about seeking God in Song is available HERE. Why not take the opportunity to allow God to minister to you His truths about His love as you enjoy listening to ‘No longer a slave to fear’.

But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love." |
