'Empowered' Pentecost Celebration
It was great to see so many people at the Pentecost celebration - our thanks to Burlington Baptist Church for their warm hospitality. There was a real sense of unity across the different churches in the town. The message from Simon Harris was really encouraging, as we heard about past revivals, and very challenging, as we pray for revival now. You can listen to his message again via the Burlington website. Follow the link below then go the bottom of the page to 'other podcasts' and click on number 11.

Crown Him with Many Crowns 2019
We had a great start to the year at the 'Crown Him with Many Crowns' evening, on Saturday January 19th, as we gathered to worship God, giving thanks to Him for the year that has passed and praying together for our town as we enter the new year. It was a wonderful evening of worship, prayer and celebration. We were delighted to be joined by Sandy Millar, who inspired and challenged us through his words, and very thankful to Tim Passmore, the Police and Crime Commissioner for Suffolk, who kindly shared his thoughts on 2018 and the challenges ahead for 2019, through a filmed interview. We hope to be able to share with you soon the film from Tim and the recording of Sandy's talk.
During the evening we were were also really pleased to hear from representatives from four organisations who work in our town: BEAM, Family First, Home for Good and Open Up. Each of them have provided prayer points that can be used in our prayers over the year.
You can download here the leaflet that was used at the event, with the prayer points and more information about each of the organisations, as well as suggestions for prayer from the Police and Crime Commissioner.
The leaflet also gives some details about other Ipswich in Prayer events for 2019 and 2020 - we'll share more information about these events as arrangements are confirmed and look forward to seeing you again soon.
Our thanks again to all who contributed to the event, including those 'behind the scenes' who worked so hard to ensure it all went smoothly. In particular, thank you to Colchester Road Baptist Church for their wonderful hospitality.

Think and imagine a world where love is the way.
Imagine our homes and families where love is the way.
Imagine neighbourhoods and comunities where love is the way.
Imagine governments and nations where love is the way.
Imagine busines and commerce where love is the way.
Imagine this tired old world where love is the way.
When love is the way - unselfish, sacrificial redemptive ...
When love is the way, then no child will go to bed hungry in this world ever again.
When love is the way, we will let justice roll down like a mighty stream and righteousness like an ever-flowing brook.
When love is the way, we will lay down our swords and shields, down by the riverside, to study war no more.
When love is the way, there is plenty good room - plenty good room - for all of God's children.
Because when love is the way, we actually treat each other, well... like we are actually family.
When love is the way, we know that God is the source of us all and we are brothers and sisters and children of God.'
