As you have hopefully noticed, the Abundant Life website has taken another significant step forward. The outline on the top and left of the page is now (hopefully) the final incarnation, and the remainder of the page is in the form of a blog site.
The idea behind this format is that those who are involved in running various groups and ministries in the church, or who are willing to share testimonies, can be given a login and can directly add their own content to the site. The effect of this will be a website that is fresh and constantly being updated - hence interesting and compelling.
Please do explore the site as it is - not all the links currently go anywhere, but dream with us, and pass on your ideas and feedback through the contact form.
Thanks and God bless,
Martin

Yes, once again God turned up at our Sunday morning service.
We enjoyed wonderful worship, including a time of listening to a real life story of God's rescuing a girl's life from tragic circumstances.
Then, we heard the story of a woman's "best Christmas ever" in 2009, because Jesus came into her life months ago, changed her live and gave her hope for the future. Yippee! We also had many prayers for the people in Haiti, and made a special collection for them, which we will forward to Convoy of Hope ministry, who are serving the people of Haiti at I write this.

The Gospel brings Hope to people. We are here to bring Hope to our city, hope to the poor and the needy.
Hope does not translate well in English. Many people understand "hope" as having a desire, usually with some possibility of fulfillment e.g. "I hope to meet you tomorrow", which has uncertainty built into it.
But hope in the Scriptures, the hope Jesus talks about, is anticipating with pleasure what God has already planned & purchased for you and me. It is expecting something good to happen - no uncertainty. The Gospel brings hope, and hope brings confidence and certainty. Therefore, we respond with trust.

If you’re in certainty, the results will be evident by the way you live NOW. Certainty about our future will mean we are changed by it now.
Being in Christ, gives us a bright and eternal secure future in a troubled world.
I pray you will know the hope of God's calling on your life this week!
If we can help you - please contact us.

Have a great week!
Kevin

Just to let you know about Saturday's training event for worship leaders. Sarah and I were blessed and delighted to have 26 people come along to grow and learn in their worship leading. (We were expecting maybe 11 or 12!!)

The theme of the day was "Leading the Way and Getting out of the Way", and was a mixture of teaching, discussion and practical workshops designed to bolster strong, clear leadership skills but also show leaders how to step out of the spotlight and let the Holy Spirit take control of the agenda.

Everybody seemed to have a great time and get something from the day, (ourselves included!) and our hope is that the lessons learned will be taken back and used to take congregations to deeper depths and higher heights of worship in God's presence. A further blessing on the day was sponsorship by Integrity UK so that all attendees received a free CD/DVD of powerful new worship music!

Thanks for your prayers and encouragement as we seek to grow this ministry and build a network of worshippers across Ireland. Our next event will be on November 29th when the talented leader and songwriter Kate Hurley will be at Abundant Life for a weekend of ministry.
