Eythorne Baptist Church

The 458 Anniversary services will be held at 3:30 pm and 6:00 pm on Friday March 21st. Tea will be served between the services. The speak this year is John Glass from Grace Church Geneva. The Silver Band, choir, children's choir and music group will be contributing to the services. Everyone is welcome to attend and there will be special arrangements for children during the 3:30 service

I wonder if anyone has photographs of shops, businesses and events relating to Eythorne over the last century. We are hoping to have a photographic exhibition on the 13th-15th May 2008 and wish to expand the collection to be shown on that occasion. Times are as follows, Tuesday and Wednesday will be from 10.30am to 5.30pm. Thursday will be from 11am to 8pm.

On 2nd April I shall be returning to visit the children in Nanyuki Children's Home. At a visit several years ago some very kind people knitted a host of glove puppets for me to take to give to the children. I cannot tell of the delight and joy these puppets gave the children. We taught them to play games together using the puppets (hilarious).

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! By his great mercy he has given us a new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ… In this you rejoice, even if now for a little while you have had to suffer various trials. 1 Peter 1:3,6

I’m sure you have heard of the young girl who in a letter to God wrote, “Dear God Christmas should be earlier because children can only be good for so long.” I am sure we can all understand her sentiments. How many of us remember being told that we would not receive any presents unless we were good.

The chill is in the air and everything is on sale. We must be approaching Christmas. It’s time to consider once again the birth of Christ more than two thousand years ago - one of the most significant events in the history of the world.
