From the Minister... Except for on chips I rarely add salt. I know too much salt is
bad for you, but there are some things you may or may not know
about this wonderful mineral.
Salt is essential for muscle movement, including that of the
heart. Long distant runners like Britain’s double gold medalist
Mo Farah eat salty foods to avoid symptoms such as nausea and
muscle cramps. Hotter climates increase the need for salt
consumption. Salt is also necessary for the digestive tract to
function properly and for nerve cells to transmit their
messages. Salt is found in blood, sweat and of course tears. It is
used in flavouring, preserving, baking, curing meat and fish, and
processing other foods. It also de-ices roads and fertilizes soil!
The Bible says salt is good: “Salt is good for seasoning. But if it loses its flavour, how do you make it salty again? You must have
the qualities of salt among yourselves and live in peace with each other.” (Mark, ch.9, vs.50).
As you can see, we have a tough act to follow if we are to be the
salt of the earth! But we need to be the salt that the world so
desperately needs. So let's examine ourselves today and see if
we're flavouring the world the way we should.
In His Name & Service.
Tim

Our marriage is all about trust and understanding. She doesn't trust me and I don't understand her
One Sunday the minister announced to his congregation, “My good people, I have here in my hands three
sermons...... a £100 sermon that lasts five minutes; a £50 sermon that lasts fifteen minutes; and a £20 sermon
that lasts a full hour. Now, we'll take the collection and see which one I'll deliver.”
Why does the Queen use her dogs to repair her boilers? Because. . . . . . . . they are corgi registered!!
If people from Poland are called Poles, then why aren’t people from Holland called Holes?

To all those hardy souls who braved the weather, and visited our open garden, a big thank you.
We raised over £300.00. The sun shone and everyone had an
enjoyable afternoon, chatting, drinking tea and purchasing plants for their garden.
Once again, many thanks for your support.
Martyn and Joan

…As Christians our
relationship is with all distinct
members of the Trinity. God is three persons, each person
is fully God, and there is one
God. The Holy Spirit is
therefore a person, an equal member of the Trinity and
Jesus makes a statement
about blaspheming against
Him (Matthew 12:31-32). There is a parallel meaning
between the power of the
wind and the mystery of His
presence (John 3:8) and His activity can be traced
throughout the Bible. He was
certainly active before the
day of Pentecost and in the
Old Testament is usually identified with empowering
people with special gifts
(Exodus 31:1-5).
We are living in the age of
the Spirit and He plays a part
in salvation by bringing us
into union with Christ. At conversion believers can
have a real experience of the
Holy Spirit and Paul’s
conversion is one of the most remarkable of all times
(Acts 9:1-22).
From someone who set
about to destroy the Church
he became the most powerful advocate of the
Christian faith. The Spirit
was also responsible for
giving Paul visions (Acts 16:6-9) and warnings
(Acts 21:4).
Being filled with the Spirit is
not a one-off experience and
if we want to, we can go on
receiving Him in our lives
(Luke 11:13). Conversion can be a sudden (like Paul’s)
or a gradual (perhaps the
more normal?) experience,
but it is a definite assurance of salvation. This assurance
is God’s intention for every
believer (1 John 5:13) and
we are changed as we begin to walk in Jesus’ presence
(2 Corinthians 5:17). The
Spirit brings believers into
the presence of the Father
and we do not even need to grab God’s attention
(Ephesians 2:18).
St Augustine described the
Holy Spirit as the bond of
love and unity that exists
between Father and Son.

In August we held another Holiday Club working jointly alongside Christ Church (where this year it took place in their new hall!).
On average 25 children turned up each morning to have fun with the games and crafts and to learn something more of Jesus’ love and salvation.
The week was planned and co-ordinated by Andy Berry a gifted musician who has a passion for youth and children’s work.
The theme we followed was “Out of Darkness Cometh Light” - the motto of Wolverhampton. A lot of hard work went into this and I extend a BIG thank you to all the helpers (Catie, Jan, Jodie, Molly from our church especially) and to Andy for his enthusiasm and passion. Let’s see what next year brings!
