REAL news: Praying / Teenagers / evening Tickets

Well here we go girls, the countdown week until REAL!

Parcels have already started arriving...tonight lights are being installed....plans are being finalised, and we're all getting excited.

SO, some info for you....

Firstly, we have the Prayer room booked from 7-9pm Monday night to pray for REAL. This session is open to anyone who would like to pray for REAL. Lisa O'Brien is there to inspire and lead us to pray, so feel free to buzz the doorbell and come up anytime between 7 and 9 to join in for whatever time you have available. It's going to be fantastic to join hearts and prayers, as together we seek God for His blessing, His presence, His power - that all women coming to REAL would know His love for them!

Secondly, are you a teen or twenty (something) ? If so, YOU ARE INVITED to a special (free) event just for you, during the 5-7.30pm dinner break on Saturday. Organised by Emily O'Neil and her friends, here's her invitation : For all teenage girls & girls in their twenties coming to REAL, you are invited to dinner in K2 from 5-7:30 on Saturday 28th June during the dinner break at REAL! It is a chance to eat, talk, build friendships & have a question and answer time with a couple of fabulous guests! Consider your dinner plans for the Saturday sorted. Enjoy! Catch Emily, Rebecca or Angharad for more details (you'll see them on Facebook!)

Lastly (bedtime soon and this is going to be a busy week!) we're excited to announce that we are making available Evening Only tickets for both the Friday and Saturday nights. Priced at just £5 they are available on the door.

We don't want anyone to miss out, and we'd love to fill the place - so please invite your neighbour, sister, friend to all or some of REAL (don't let finance be a barrier) - and tell the teenagers and twenties about their special invite - and that REAL's for them too!

As we roll into this final week friend, I am praying for you.

Romans 15:13. (NIV)

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Guest Blog: Esther in Indonesia

I'm delighted to welcome Esther Ross-Watson to my Blog today! She is a dearly loved member of our Kerith family. She and her late husband Michael served as missionaries for many years. Esther bravely made the decision to travel again, and she has recently returned from Indonesia. Here's her story: Whilst Michael was on his last days on earth in August 2017 he received a request from the Island of Madura, Indonesia asking us to return to the town of Pamekasen, Madura, Indonesia where we had begun our Missions work in July 1973 exactly one year after we were married. They were keen to have us see what God had been doing in the years since we’d moved on and we excitedly said ‘Yes’ we will come! Obviously that had to go on hold for a while because I didn’t feel I could, or even wanted to go alone! Anyway around March/April time 2018, I begun to feel a gentle nudging of the Holy Spirit urging me to think some more about it! It was like a feeling of wanting to know...

Our Living Hope

Not sure what happens with my blog...or me writing my blog! Can't believe I've been away from it for almost two months. Oh well, no condemnation! Let's pick it up and start again :) Yesterday was a great day in Church! I was so challenged and encouraged - I love Sundays and all the different ways God shows His love and who he is to us. Natalie Jones preached at both our morning meetings in Bracknell , she gave such a good message on generosity, be sure to catch it when the podcast comes on our website, but for now, watch a summary of Natalie's preach At the 6pm meeting, we had Paul Manwaring sharing about culture : the 4 Gamechangers - again, a really challenging message to check out if you didn't get to hear it live. I wore my HOPE earrings yesterday - sometimes I deliberately choose to wear them as a practical symbol that I am choosing HOPE - that I choose Jesus, I choose trust, I choose hope. I'm so glad I did, as throughout the day I felt God speak ...

3 Little Bottles

Thought I'd mix it up today and do something lighthearted here. I popped into town this morning (as an aside, anyone else still incredulous that "new Bracknell / The Lexicon is so great and that it's really here to stay?!) Anyhow, I popped into town for a quick wander and bought 3 "essentials" I'd run out of, so I thought I'd share them with you - and of course I'd love to hear about your 3 recent essential purchases. 1 Contact lense solution I've worn glasses since Secondary school, and contact lenses since I left Uni. Gas permeables - great for me - slightly perilous in swimming pools / the sea / other people's sinks (£80 to replace). They work for me - and so a couple of bottles of solution each month keep me going.I ran out a couple of days ago, so it was £4.70 well spent for clean lenses and clear eyesight. 2. "Buffet" by The Ordinary This was a new one for me, a present I received last Christmas. I LOVE it and ca...
