Heaven and hell: places on earth?
On Sunday, HBC hosted a "hot potato" discussion on the topic of hell.
They say that "heaven is a place on earth". I know it is just a song,
but I think I have experienced something of that in my life at
times, when God seems so near you feel you can touch Him, and sense Him
in so many ways.
Message from John MacSporran
Many of you will remember our old friend John MacSporran. We have just received this prayer request from John and his church:
Please forgive the intrusion but we have a serious prayer request for you and respectfully ask that you share this with your fellowship.
We are a small fellowship in Scotland in the UK. We hold our meetings in a converted grain store and over the last few years the building has become run down, vandalism from locals and damage caused was at an all time high and the church was in danger of closing.
In the last few months the few remaining members called a new pastor, Rev John MacSporran. He has brought a renewed energy and we are starting to grow again in the community. Our small team of volunteers are ready to share the Word and we are praying hard for the funds to repair our building.
Please keep us in your prayers and please encourage your friends and family to visit our web site www.collydeanbaptist.com where we are using the internet to share the Word.
If you ever find yourself in Scotland please look us up.
Thank you in advance and God bless.
John and the members of Collydean Baptist Church
