Coffee following Easter Sunday Service!

Dear Friends,

.
He is Risen indeed!  Please join us as we continue to worship this Easter Season!

It was great to see so many new people worshipping with us over Easter.  We had 23 different people in attendance over the Easter weekend, and three new people also came last Sunday. Welcome, if you are one of those who have just joined with us!

Our Wednesday Night Group will again meet tomorrow at the home of Joel Akins, when we will discuss Chapter 10 of Marcus Borg’s book Speaking Christian.  The theme is Believing and Faith.  We will continue with Chapter 11, Mercy, if we have time. On Sunday we will gather at 11 a.m. to continue to celebrate Christ’s resurrection!  This week’s readings are taken from Acts 2:14a, 36-41, 1 Peter 1:17-23, and Luke 24:13-35, and we will be singing the hymns The Day of Resurrection, Alleluia, Alleluia, Give Thanks to the Risen Lord, I am the Bread of Life, and Christ is Alive!

Video of our Easter services can be found on the Audio-Visual page and directions can be found on the Where and When page.

Most people get to hear about us via the internet or by word of mouth, so please feel free to pass on this email to others.  All are welcome to join us as we share the presence of the risen Jesus in our lives!  We hope to see you soon and that you will enjoy worshiping with us,

God bless,

Dear Friends,

We have a busy weekend ahead with services on Good Friday and Easter Sunday.  We will meet on Friday at 11 a.m. at our usual Sunday venue, 18 Pa Tan Road. There will be no Wednesday Night Group this week due to Holy Week and Songkran.  On Friday we will remember the death of Christ, in a service including a long dramatised reading from John’s Gospel.  On Sunday we will have a joyful resurrection Eucharist!  As William and Tarntip will be away on Easter Sunday, we are having a pot-luck before they leave after the Good Friday service.

The Good Friday readings are taken from Isaiah 52:13-53:12, Hebrews 4:14-16; 5:7-9, and John 18:1-19:42, and we will be singing the hymns O Sacred Head, Now Wounded, Were You There When They Crucified My Lord?, and When I Survey the Wondrous Cross.  I will send details of the Easter Sunday service on Saturday.

Video of our Palm Sunday procession and the Bible readings and sermon can be found on the Audio-Visual and as always, directions can be found on the Where and When page.  Most people get to hear about us via the internet or by word of mouth, so please feel free to pass on this email to others.  All are welcome to join us as we share the presence of the risen Jesus in our lives!

We hope to see you soon and that you will enjoy worshiping with us,

This week’s readings are the passages for Palm Sunday and Passiontide: Matthew 21:1-1, Isaiah 50:4-9a, Philippians 2:5-11, and Matthew 26:14-29, and we will be singing the hymns: Hosanna, Hosanna, Hosanna in the Highest, All Glory, Laud and Honour, Hosanna, Loud Hosanna, You are the King of Glory, and Ride On! Ride On in Majesty!

Remember, we also have our Wednesday Night Group tonight.  Call or email for details.

After the service we will share coffee and biscuits at the house.  Directions can be found on the Where and When page and last week’s sermon can also be found on we audio-visual page.

Last Sunday we were visited by four Africans who are in Chiang Mai for eight weeks attending a Mobilizer Equipping School.  It was good to hear their stories and share their enthusiasm following the service.  Iain also did his first wedding in Chiang Mai.  It was for a Chinese couple at the Four Seasons Resort in Mae Rim.  He also had his first motorbike trip to get there!  (See picture above!)

Meanwhile we will have our final Sunday Eucharist of the Lent Season this week.  The readings are Ezekiel 37:1-14, Romans 8:10-11, and John 11:1-45, and we will be singing the hymns Let All the World in Every Corner Sing, O Breath of Life, For the Bread which You have Broken, and Oh for a Thousand Tongues to Sing!
