Saturday 29th June 2024
Springwell, Whetstone Baptist Church Leicestershire
What an amazing day! Over 130 of us gathered to worship, pray and learn together. We heard news from the EMBA team, welcomed and inducted Pete Leveson as a Regional Minister, prayed for Pete and the whole staff team, welcomed and prayed for ministers new to the EMBA, prayed for our world, our churches and ourselves. We re-elected four servant-hearted people to serve as EMBA directors, and shared good news stories with one another.
Alex Harris's passion for helping churches to share the good news of Jesus with their neighbours shone through his keynote address and Chrissy Remsberg and he shared lots of wisdom from their exerience and research on how churches can apply some simple principles to help this to happen.
The welcome we received from the folks of Whetstone Baptist Church was amazing and we say thank you to all those who served teas and coffees, looked after the AV and video and helped so graciously with practicalities all day long. We are also grateful to the worship band gathered from various EMBA churches who shared their musical gifts so generously and enabled us to worship so well.
