As promised here is the report on our Sunday Afternoon 4 pm meeting which was a Music & Worship meeting , led by Chatham Senior Band
The Band began the meeting with the tunes ” Cairo Red shield” and “Be still for the presence of the Lord”
Major Ian called Emma Davis to the platform to receive a Bouquet of flowers, these were in recognition of her time leading the Singing Company recently
The congregation sang ” Gods Soldier marches as to war ” and then Emma led the Singing Company in the song ” The great Downpour”
Rebecca Abbott delivered her testimony , and she had been asked to talk about the things that are important to her
Following this the Band gave us the tune “Songs of Salvation” by Andrew Mackereth.

The next Musical item was the YP Band who played a Ray Steadman Allen piece ” God is Good”
The Songsters sang “I’m in his hands ”
The Band gave us the tune – Prelude on “Lavenham” a very stirring piece , and after which we heard from Martin Davis
who spoke on the subject of how we remain pure, referring back to the Junior Soldiers making their promise earlier in the day and the earlier congregation song . Martin read from Paul’s 2nd letter to the Corinthians , and talked about us not being isolated from the World , because life separated is not effective. Martin made the comment that “a sanctified life in a dark world has endless possibilities” .
A very powerful word Martin .
The Bands final tune for the Afternoon was ” Fill the world with Glory” and we then had a Benediction from Josh Davis – Matt 5 v8
Blessed are the pure in heart,
for they will see God
Our thanks to all those who took part in the afternoons meeting, especially to the Band .

Junior Soldiers Day of Renewal 2018
Our morning meeting today was a special one, led by Junior Soldier Sergeant Sam Wood.
Sam
This meeting was the time for all our Junior Soldiers to renew their promises. The Theme was ” Who are you Listening to? ” and began with an example of how we can get distracted listening to advice from too many sources
Julie & Mia playing a game, and getting disrupted by Martin & others, and showing how distracted we can get
The first song of the morning was ” Blessed be the name of the Lord ” introduced by Hannah
We had an opening Prayer by Sam Boughton. and the announcements were given by Mia
The congregation was involved in a game of Chinese whispers to help show how important it is to listen, and this was followed by the worship song ” I am listening to God”.
The Singing company , led by Emma Davis, gave us ” The Fathers Song”
introduced by Sian Sutton
The Junior soldier Bronze award was presented by Major Ian to Robert Christie
This was followed by a Testimony from Isaac Woodman , which is an element of a Junior Soldiers Platinum award
The next item was the Song ” Oceans” given to us by the Junior Soldiers youth group
The Bible reading was delivered by Marin Castle , and he read John 10 v1-10 .
The Good Shepherd and His Sheep
10 “Very truly I tell you Pharisees, anyone who does not enter the sheep pen by the gate, but climbs in by some other way, is a thief and a robber. 2 The one who enters by the gate is the shepherd of the sheep. 3 The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep listen to his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. 4 When he has brought out all his own, he goes on ahead of them, and his sheep follow him because they know his voice. 5 But they will never follow a stranger; in fact, they will run away from him because they do not recognize a stranger’s voice.” 6 Jesus used this figure of speech, but the Pharisees did not understand what he was telling them.
7 Therefore Jesus said again, “Very truly I tell you, I am the gate for the sheep. 8 All who have come before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep have not listened to them. 9 I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved.[a] They will come in and go out, and find pasture. 10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.
We had a game of follow my leader next , where initially Isaac Woodman declared himself the leader of a Game ( Simon Say’s) but others kept butting in ! creating havoc & confusion
The YP Band contribution was introduced by Chantelle
and the tune was ” Joyful Peace ”
The next item we had was the Song ” Sanctuary” introduced by Robert Christie ,
and following this Sam Wood delivered her message for the morning . Sam spoke about the need to find a quiet place to listen to God , because it is difficult hear him among the noise of all the distractions around us , and its sometimes hard to work out who to follow.
Sam referred back to Martins Bible reading of John 10 1-10 earlier, saying we need to listen intentionally, and asking us how we hear from God, and are we finding the time ?.
The Junior Soldiers then recited their Promise ( in fact we were all invited to do this as well)
‘I know that Jesus is my Saviour from sin.
I have asked him to forgive my sins, and I will trust him to keep me good.
By his help, I will be his loving and obedient child, and will help others to follow him.
I promise to pray, to read my Bible, and to lead a life that is clean in thought, word and deed.
I will not use anything that may injure my body or my mind, including harmful drugs, alcohol and tobacco.’
The congregation were asked to pick up a named label from the stand , and promise to pray for the that child for a year.
during this time the Junior Soldiers met with their ” Big Buds” and had a time of prayer
The Closing Song was ” Lord I lift your name on High ” and this was introduced by Grace.
Very well done to Sam & her team, to all the Junior Soldiers, and all those that support them
The report for the 4 pm meeting , which was led by the Band will follow tomorrow

Our Morning meeting was led by Major Ian Payne
This morning the theme is ‘Having asked God for Forgiveness…’
and as it said on our welcome sheet today
One of the greatest challenges of the 21st Century, ‘Forgiveness’ – May our thoughts, this morning lead up to a greater understanding in ourselves. 1 Corinthians 13:12 We don’t yet see things clearly. We’re squinting in a fog, peering through a mist. But it won’t be long before the weather clears and the sun shines bright! We’ll see it all then, see it all as clearly as God sees us, knowing him directly just as he knows us! 13 But for right now, until that completeness, we have three things to do to lead us toward that consummation: Trust steadily in God, hope unswervingly, love extravagantly.
We began the meeting singing two songs
Song 26 Great is thy Faithfulness ( accompanied by the Band ,under Bandmaster Nigel Lockwood)
Song 353 Be Still, for the Presence ( accompanied by Carole Horwood on the Piano )
following which we were led in prayer by Mike Gibbs
Our Singing Company ,led by Emma Davis, gave us the song ” Every second”
and following the Singing Company the Congregation sang ” He Giveth More Grace”.
We were told of two of our Singing Company member who are raising money for a very special charity..
Mia & Hannahs Slater are going to have there hair cut to raise money for the Little Princess Trust – A charity to provide real hair wigs for children suffering hair loss
If any one would like to sponsor them go to Tina Steele just giving page
https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/makingwigs
If you need any further information please contact Eric Slater
A Bible reading by Tim Scott followed , reading from 1 Corinthians 13.
The Songsters contribution this morning was ” Give Me Jesus” arr by Tom Fettke
The message this morning began with the following Video clip
Major Ian delivered his message on forgiveness, looking at the wordly view of forgiveness and the Christian view. Some examples of forgiveness in action were looked at , such as Nelson Mandela who on release from prison asked for reconciliation , not recrimination. We heard of the Church Pastor in Scotland , who’s daughter was killed in the Lockerbie aircraft bombing. This man forgave his daughters killers, and went on to set up a charity in Libya named after his daughter.
Major Ian emphasised that Words can hurt but forgiveness heals & he encouraged us this week to Love & Forgive
our final congregational songs were Song 376 King of Kings (accompanied by Carole on the Piano) and Song 393 Tell out my Soul ( accompanied by the Band)
Grateful thanks to Emily Miller for taking the Photographs this morning.
#################################
Our Evening meeting was one of Praise , Prayer & Testimony
We began with two congregational songs
Song 382 Majesty , followed by Song 389 Rejoice Rejoice ( both supported by the Band)
after which Major Judith Payne gave her testimony ,Quoting Romans 8:28
28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who[a] have been called according to his purpose.
referring to how she is experiencing a time of great change in her life , with family not living close by now and a changes at work as well as a new house.Also she is wondering ” what do I need to do to give God more of me”
Song 114 Light of the World ( supported by Lisa Davis on the Piano)
A time of prayer followed were prayer subjects were called out.
our next congregational Song was 760 I am praying Blessed Saviour
This evenings Band Piece was ” Beside the sea of Galilee” to the tune of Lakeside – an arrangement by Andrew Mackereth which is associated with the original word by Catherine Baird
We had 4 testimonies this evening , intertwined with
Song 883 O Happy, Happy Day
Murray Smith Testified about watching the recent changes he has seen in a member of the congregation , who was visibly impacted by a particular song.
Peter Willard testified on being led to pray outside a closed church in Southampton, which he had gone to look at during a recent family trip, praying that Churches should be open more
Jean Jones testified to her recent experience at a J John rally ” Just One “at Gillingham priestfield stadium on Saturday , attended by approx. 5000 people
Greg Davis testified to a few different things including how, following the reading of a story on a multi-faith wedding in the “Daily Bread”, he try’s to share his Christian faith with his neighbour’s of different faiths.
His second thought was when Margaret , Greg’s wife, takes her class on a visit to the Local church, for some children it’s the only time they have been to a church .During the recent visit the Vicar explained to the children, Jesus dying on the Cross with his arms outstretched, is like he is hugging everyone.
Greg’s last point was that during a concert in Birmingham where the ISS were singing , the final notes of choral symphony no3 the 4th movement, are maintained for a long period, “they go on & on “and Greg was struck that Gods love is like that
The meeting closed with the Songsters Singing – Sing ,Love & live ( by Neil Winton/Andrew Wicker)

The Morning meeting will include the Junior Soldiers day of renewal
The 4 pm meeting will be one of Music & Worship with Chatham Senior Band

Sunday Morning 3rd June 2018
Call to Worship Deuteronomy 7:12-14
12 If you pay attention to these laws and are careful to follow them, then the Lord your God will keep his covenant of love with you, as he swore to your ancestors. 13 He will love you and bless you and increase your numbers. He will bless the fruit of your womb, the crops of your land—your grain, new wine and olive oil—the calves of your herds and the lambs of your flocks in the land he swore to your ancestors to give you. 14 You will be blessed more than any other people; none of your men or women will be childless, nor will any of your livestock be without young.

The Songsters message this morning was the song ” I am praying ” by Fanny Crosby/Leonard Ballantine
The Message this morning from Major Ian harked back to Boundless 2015, when General Andre Cox said ….‘…go on do the Impossible’.
This had been brought to the Majors attention by a testimony last week from Bev Hudson .
Major Ian spoke about attending the recent live sculpture of Dame Joan Collins by the Artist Frances Segelman, an artist who works with Clay and her hands , doing the most amazing and impossible works of art.
Major Ian referred us back to Luke 18:35-43, highlighting that Jesus did the impossible , restoring the mans sight, to a straightforward request for mercy ” son of David have mercy on me”.
We were asked to reflect on the last time that we called out to God in such simple faith.

##################
Our Evening meeting today was a Café Church meeting , based around the story of the Good Samaritan & the question , who is my Neighbour ?.
We had a good time of fellowship with plenty of Cake ( donated via Ian , from the London Mayors association training day! ) and we made use of a short worksheet which helped us focus on the story, and its relevance today.we watched some short videos and discussion was had around the tables on ways to be a better neighbour. We were encouraged to make a short list of things we could improve upon, in our lives, to help achieve this .
Thank you to all those that helped set up the event.. Well done

10.00 AM MEETING LED BY MAJOR IAN PAYNE
Call to Worship Ezekiel 36: 25-27
25 I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean; I will cleanse you from all your impurities and from all your idols. 26 I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. 27 And I will put my Spirit in you and move you to follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws.
The Morning meeting began with the singing of two congregational songs, the first Song 456/105 – Dear Lord and Father , was supported by the Band , led this morning by Ryan Cripps
the second song 517/805 – Purify my heart , was accompanied by Emma Davis on the Piano
The Singing Company gave us the song – ” As One “, which included some clever choreography ( apologies for the lack of a photo ) , well done to you all
The congregation sang Song 813/615 (Band ) – For I’m building a people.
A time of Testimony was included in the middle of the song, and we had Testimony from Lyn Arter & Lisa Davis . Lyn testified to the changes in her life since 2012 and Lisa spoke of New beginnings , prompted by the announcement of the new General and Chatham having a new Officer and Lisa starting a new job soon
The Bible Reading was delivered as a video, the reading is copied below
Ezekiel 37: 1-10 The valley of dry bones
37 The hand of the Lord was on me, and he brought me out by the Spirit of the Lord and set me in the middle of a valley; it was full of bones. 2 He led me to and fro among them, and I saw a great many bones on the floor of the valley, bones that were very dry. 3 He asked me, ‘Son of man, can these bones live?’ I said, ‘Sovereign Lord, you alone know.’
4 Then he said to me, ‘Prophesy to these bones and say to them, “Dry bones, hear the word of the Lord! 5 This is what the Sovereign Lord says to these bones: I will make breath[a] enter you, and you will come to life. 6 I will attach tendons to you and make flesh come upon you and cover you with skin; I will put breath in you, and you will come to life. Then you will know that I am the Lord.”’
7 So I prophesied as I was commanded. And as I was prophesying, there was a noise, a rattling sound, and the bones came together, bone to bone. 8 I looked, and tendons and flesh appeared on them and skin covered them, but there was no breath in them.
9 Then he said to me, ‘Prophesy to the breath; prophesy, son of man, and say to it, “This is what the Sovereign Lord says: come, breath, from the four winds and breathe into these slain, that they may live.”’ 10 So I prophesied as he commanded me, and breath entered them; they came to life and stood up on their feet – a vast army.
The Songsters gave us ” They need Christ” – Gowans/Larsson , which was particularly requested by Major Ian
The Message ‘What do you see? Major Ian F. Payne
Major Ian began with a series of pictures which all had the possibility of being viewed more than one way , it often depended on how the individual looked at the picture .
Major Ian preached on the earlier Bible reading , saying we needed to have Gods hand on us to help us make Gods plan work , and without the breath of God in us we are dead in the spirit . Major Ian encouraged us to be the best Christians we could be , and if people had questions they should talk to him, or any of our retired officers / local officers in the Corps. Reference was made to a radio interview the Major had heard with Bishop Curry , who had spoken at the recent wedding of the Duke & Duchess of Sussex,Bishop Curry had referred to everyone having a God shaped hole in them , and it is a Christians job to help everyone fill that up that personal God shaped hole.
The final two congregational songs were Song 771 (Piano) – Lord I pray that I may know you , and Song 391/149 ( Band ) – Stand up and bless the Lord
Following the Meeting , the Band made their regular outreach in Chatham
High St, and some good conversations were had with those that stopped to listen

The Songsters message was “Look at Jesus” by Andrew Maycock

Charlie Gouyet chose the song 319 “For the Mighty Moving” from the Gowans & Larsson musical – Spirit , which Charlie helped to stage in Jersey in 1989
The Band message this evening was ” It is Jesus ”
Our Bible reading this evening comprised of three Psalms
Psalm 67,verse 4
4May the nations be glad and sing for joy,

and guide the nations of the earth.

A Testimony was brought to us from CSM Tim Scott , who remembering some advice from Major Ian years ago, when both were at Bromley Corps, which was to give testimony not a sermon, Tim gave a very personal one. Tim has been our CSM since 2007 and recognising in himself someone who is essentially traditional and possibly old fashioned in some ways, but is someone who is willing to take on new ideas and follow Gods plan . Tim said if Gods plan was for him to continue as CSM, that was fine , but he did not want to be complacent, and felt that if a change was part of Gods plan that was fine and moving forwards was always the best plan.
Bible Reading Acts 2:1-24
The Songsters gave us ‘Breathe on me’
The Message was delivered by Major Ian , and was entitled – ‘They were all together..!’
Celebrating Pentecost, the birth of the Church, Major Ian focused on the earlier Bible reading, commenting on the fact that the Holy Spirit is for “all” and the Church is not currently “all together”. We were encouraged to recommit ourselves to God , our Corps & our town .Major Ian said we should have confidence in God through the Power of the Holy spirit, and together we could make a significant difference .
The congregation sang Song 294/159 Breathe on me, breath of God, accompanied by the Piano, and many of the congregation prayed at the Mercy seat
our final Song 326/294 ” Thou Christ of burning, cleansing Flame” was accompanied by the Band

Matthew 11 v 29
Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”

Galations 5.1
It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery
