Dear friends,
We hope and pray that you are well.
MARCH MISSIONS MONTH
The missionary committee have arranged another March Missions month with a special focus on Baptist Missions Peru. We want to invite you to participate again this year and we’ve arranged a number of special events and resources that should suit all ages!
Sunday Services & Midweek Meeting
Sunday 27th February – John Brew will spark our interest in Peru, an area that many of our church have visited over the years.
Sunday 20th March – Mervyn Scott is joining us to give a brief update on the broader work of Baptist Missions.
Wednesday 23rd March – David Dickson will be speaking at our Midweek meeting via Zoom on the work of Baptist Missions in the Shankill area.
Special Events
This year we are pleased to announce that we are holding two special mornings. Use the links below to book your place.
Saturday 12th March – Men’s Breakfast with Paul Savage at 10 am
Saturday 26th March – Ladies’ Coffee Morning with Lourdes Brew at 10 am
These will be relaxed mornings with good food and company where we can learn more about missions. They’re open to everyone in our church family and beyond. We will provide a booking system for these events that will be found on the social media pages or via the church email. Alternatively, you can book with one of the Missions Committee (listed below).
Prayer resources
You can download the Prayer diary here, with a different focus each day. It has been great hearing how some people have kept their prayer diary from last year and used it every month to pray specifically for missions.
Why not as individuals, couples, or families spend time every day praying for our missionaries? You could also arrange to meet up with friends to specifically pray for Peru once or twice this month at a time and place that suits you.
Our social media pages will contain more information on different missionaries in Peru. These will give you a greater insight into the missionaries’ lives and their work which will then help us to pray more specifically for them.
On a Tuesday evening, we will provide recommendations for missions’ prayer subscriptions, podcasts and books that you can use, not only in March.
CB:Kids
CB:Kids have organised a virtual bedtime missionary story for every Thursday night in March, we are sure that both kids and adults will enjoy these again this year.
We hope March Missions encourages you all. Please pray that each of us would develop a heart for missions – to go, support and pray.
With much love,
The Missionary Committee

Continue steadfastly in prayer, being watchful in it with thanksgiving. At the same time, pray also for us, that God may open to us a door for the word, to declare the mystery of Christ, on account of which I am in prison— that I may make it clear, which is how I ought to speak.
