The baptism today of ANDREW should be a wake up call for us all. Andrew attended our meetings at the Orchard Pub about 4 years ago and decided to be baptized. But life and its distractions got in the way. He is a landscape gardener and was mowing the lawns around the graves at a graveyard. He had a stroke, and fell unconscious, falling onto a grave. He awoke some time later in hospital. He initially had the feeling he had died and been resurrected... and he recalled our teaching him that baptism is about death and resurrection with the Lord Jesus. And so he decided to make baptism a priority. He was in hospital and rehab for some time, but has started attending again now that he can, and now he has been baptized. He got really quite emotional in the baptism service, feeling that really this was the Lord's hand upon him, and just so grateful that he had been given another chance to respond. You can see 20 minutes of our group chit chat with him at https://youtu.be/o3aankq1kiM . Really the Lord will keep on needling us, sending fishers and hunters to get His people to Himself. Just surrender and come eagerly to Him, make that a priority time and again in His various calls upon you...

Thanks all for coming to Pub Church today, sermon on the Lord's encounter with Zacchaeus at https://youtu.be/RC2xjgJCnHM
Afterwards some of us went over to a little known spot on the Wandle River in Croydon [hidden behind Mitcham Fire Station] to baptize CHRIS, son of our dear sister Kate who lives in Clapham. Kate had a background with the JWs and was so thrilled to be baptized some years ago. We've occasionally visited her to break bread as she's housebound, and so we met her wonderful son Chris who has now finally decided to be baptized into the Lord. Such a lovely man and now brother in the Lord. So all our work in Croydon continues to be blessed. Video at https://youtu.be/vQr46QdUsaE

Afterwards we drove down to The Chequers pub in Kent to baptize a whole family, grandad IAN son LEE and his sons HARRY and LEO. We sat in the pub drinking large pot coffees for a long time afterwards and talking about the things of the Lord, such a wonderful afternoon with a great family. We had a lot of passers by watching it was very public and Ian is already telling folks on social media about his special day. Praise God

Thanks all who came to Pub Church today, a good turnout despite Cindy and kids being with uncle Maurice in hospital. He continues unconscious. Sermon on Psalm 141, How God can work on your mind, mentality, psychology and worldview through His Spirit- if you let Him https://youtu.be/jDs1gE3zbU0

Afterwards we drove up to North London to meet SEAN, a lovely guy who lives alone and has slowly, carefully read through the entire Bible a number of times. But like so many, was put off by churchianity. He has a shower and no bathtub and so we took him to sister Raquel's place. Raquel and her cousin Reynard were baptized three years ago at the 2023 garden party in Croydon. She's just had her kitchen and bathroom renovated so she was so happy to use them for the Lord. And made us a great meal in celebration. Such a really happy time doing the Lord's work with everyone walking in step with the Spirit. It's called "the fellowship of the Spirit"
