Totterdown Baptist Church

January 2012 has been designated a month of prayer for tbc as we listen to the Lord's voice. Twenty people attended the Day of Prayer on Monday 16th January whilst others were praying at home or work. If you sense God has been saying something to you or the church, please e-mail us.

Tuesday 24th January is a Special Church Meeting when we shall be deciding on goals for 2012, setting the budget and making a change to the constitution regarding church leadership. All tbc regular attenders are welcome to come and seek the Lord together.

On Wednesday 25th January we'll be holding an Alpha Supper with Burns' Night theme. The meal starts at 7.30pm and will be followed by a DVD talk entitled "Christianity - boring, untrue or irrelevant?"  If you'd like to come and join us for haggis (or alternative!) and to learn about the Alpha Course, please book your place via the contact page.

As we leave behind the turbulent old year 2011, and turn our eyes to the New Year 2012 we face a future that appears uncertain. And yet, we are called to walk into it with our faithful God who created all things, who is in the process of redeeming all things through Jesus, and who one day will certainly bring all things to their glorious conclusion, despite the worst efforts of humans!

Our Bible verse for 2012 is Psalm 25:4 -

Show us your ways, O Lord, teach us your paths.

As we stand at the crossroads, God calls us to look around us, to perceive what he is doing, to ask for the good and well-proven paths, and to walk in them. To hear tbc Minister Laurie Burn's new year message from Jeremiah 6:16, go to our Sermons Page. January is to be set aside as a month of prayer to seek God and listen to his wisdom.

Our prayer for you and for our world is that, in the midst of uncertainties and difficulties you might know rest for your souls - the unchanging peace of Emmanuel - the Lord Jesus Christ - the author and perfector of all things.
