Beyond the Boundaries: John 4:1-30, 28 October 2012 AM, Roy Searle of the Northumbria Community www.lrbc.org.uk/listen

Leigh Road Baptist Church also joined with Baptists Together In Southend & District for ‘Marbles, Honeycombs and the Kingdom of God’ that night. The evening of worship, prayer and discussion with Roy Searle saw the gathered Church greatly challenged.

We were reminded about the countless blessings bestowed on us by God and how we can use them to be interdependent as the Baptist church in the borough and beyond.  In turn we were spurred on to realise that this could bring the living God more powerfully into our neighbourhoods and thus be a model and inspiration for Baptist churches across the UK.

A picture was given of Church based on the interdependence shown through the close relationship of the cells of a honeycomb as opposed to hardened edges of marbles only interacting in a small way.

So who is Roy Searle?

Roy is one of the founder leaders of the new monastic Northumbria Community, a former President of the Baptist Union of Great Britain and part of the Renovare team in the UK.  Roy is a Visiting Lecturer at several theological colleges and leadership institutes, is an Associate of The Baobab Centre in York, he travels extensively throughout Europe encouraging people to love God and live generously.

Many thanks to everyone who attended and helped with our recent Macmillan Coffee Morning. The event that took place on Thursday 4th October, was part of the World’s Biggest Coffee Morning, albeit a week after most of the other events took place.

Coffee, tea and delicious cakes were enjoyed by Mum’s and Dad’s from the Pre-School, regulars to the LRBC Coffee Morning, as well as passers by who saw the opportunity for a nice cup of Fairtrade coffee and a sit down, with good company.

You helped us raise £165 towards a tremendous cause.

Thank you for taking part in the World’s Biggest Coffee Morning. We know Macmillan really appreciate your support in helping to support people affected by cancer.
