This week on Fab…

Dear Fabbers!

Good morning, evening, day, or night (wherever this email finds you)!

Today (Sunday) is the feast of Candlemas where, traditionally, the church has given thanks for the candles to be used throughout the coming year. Helen’s written a little something about that and will no doubt post up soon, so I won’t steal her thunder!

The news makes for some pretty grim reading at the moment, and this week’s Insight and podcast explores what happens when people encounter God’s mercy — that there are two reactions so to speak. This week’s Insight is called ‘Countdown’ and you read or listen here (or on your favourite podcasting platform):

This week’s devotional is called ‘Surprise’ and we reflect on how God sometimes asks us to do things that seem counter-intuitive. We need to be ready! You can engage with the Bible Study here:

Each day we also publish a ‘word for the day’ called Daily Bread. You can find this at the top of the website and it gives you something very short to read, think about, and a prayer. I hope these are of use. Any feedback will be very welcome! You can see past ‘Daily Breads’ here: https://fab.church/daily-bread/

It’s been wonderful to welcome a few new Guests, and Andrew and Marie as new Members of FAB! Our little online community is growing slowly!

I hope and pray the news this coming week doesn’t get us down to much, and that God shines a ray of hope into your lives.

All my love in Christ.

Gavin

P.S. We are having a little issue with our web app so will try and fix it this week. I think I might have forgotten to pay the bill on the software we use!
