March

Très Riches Heures du Duc de Berry

The Daffodil, Harbinger of Spring

What's in store this month:

Alpha is continuing and at the moment it seems Wednesday evening is suiting everyone. The Holy Spirit "weekend" will take place Saturday March the 6th. Please Pray!
The Alpha Marriage Course has began. No doubt, there will be another one in the future, contact Peter if you might be interested.
And it's also fairly certain that a new Freedom in Christ course will begin once the Alpha is finished. (Although a - brief - breathing space would probably be advisable!)

The Baptism Service will take place at the Gospel Hall, our much appreciated hosts for the last one, on April 13th at 7.30. Although sound advice would be to get there early. We already have seven candidates - praise God! - but the list is open-ended, and won't be closed even on the night! (Those of you there last time will recall a last minute baptism. The young man involved, Mary's son, is now a student at Bible College!) The moral? Baptism must be taken seriously, very seriously.

Bible study Thursday. This month it moves to the home of the Easties, 14, McBain Street.
We have started the Gospel of John although after three weeks we still haven't completed Chapter 1, so you can join up at any time. Joining up is simple - turn up!

Men's Prayer Saturday 8 a.m. 127 South Street, Milnathort.

Women's Prayer Sunday 8.30a.m. 127 South Street, Milnathort.

Sarah's Worship Evening Saturday 27th at 7.30 p.m. Millbridge Hall. For more information about Sarah's vision contact Sarah

Sunday Service and Sunday School as normal at 10 a.m. for coffee. Service at 10.30 a.m.

Pastor's Word

Doesn’t time fly when you’re enjoying yourself? I don’t know how many times I’ve heard that phrase over the decades - but it’s more than a few. However, there is some truth in the old adage because March is upon us yet we’ve only just finished Christmas, and we are certainly enjoying ourselves. Kinross Christian Fellowship is an exciting place these days and our prayer is that it will continue.

The Alpha ‘Holy Spirit Day’ is on March 6th (please pray) and if the Alpha evenings are anything to go by we’re in for an exciting ride. Because when these people read Scripture such as Acts 13:52 And the disciples were filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit. They say, I want some of that, and it’s happening and I pray it will continue to happen, because their joy is so contagious!

In April, Tuesday the 13th to be precise, we have a Baptismal Service in the Gospel Hall. Why? Again because they treat Scripture as God’s word and therefore God’s commands, so when they read, Acts 2:38 Peter replied, “Repent and be baptised, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit, the only question I got from them was, ‘When?’

The brilliant result already is that there are now three more candidates - including two children which really excites me - and on the night we will have three generations going through the waters of baptism. Isn’t that just so great! Or cool if you’re under sixty. Mark 10:13, 14 People were bringing little children to Jesus to have him touch them, but the disciples rebuked them. When Jesus saw this, he was indignant. He said to them, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.As for me, I’m certainly not in the business of hindering the children, either in worship, or in baptism. But be assured, they will know the step they’re taking. And many of us are in faith that the book is not closed on seven - in fact we don’t have a cut-off number because we’ll have all night.

As I mentioned at the beginning, Kinross Christian Fellowship is going through an exciting time with no end in site. Be encouraged folk, and encourage each other. Read scripture - and believe it, enjoy it and do it!
1 Thessalonians 5:11 Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.

God bless,
Peter
