Good morning! Come and join us for a morning of worship. Go to our YouTube channel using the link below as we continue a new sermon series called “James: Faith that Makes a Difference”.

No other New Testament book is quite like James. Catchy, practical, and in your face, the book of James jumps straight into the nitty gritty of daily life. James takes the lofty doctrines of the gospel and brings them down to earth. You can’t read James without being confronted. James steps on your toes. At times, he punches you in the gut. More than anything, James wants you to do something with the faith you’ve been given…to make a difference.

Tune in this morning as we look at how to face one of life’s most difficult trials from James 1:9-12.

What a comfort it is to know that God is always with us when we seek him, that he will provide the strength and courage we need to keep going, no matter the circumstances.

Praying for everyone in our church family and local community who is sitting exams at the moment, whether that’s SATs, GCSEs, A Levels, or anything else.

We know this season can bring pressure, nerves and long days of revision, so we are praying for peace, focus, strength and encouragement for each one of you.

And here’s an important reminder: your true worth is not found in exams, grades or results. You are deeply loved and valued by God, whatever happens.

“The Lord is near to all who call on him.”
Psalm 145:18

We are cheering you on and praying for you. 🙏

💪✨ NEW AT BETHANY CHURCH – WOMEN’S WELLNESS & FITNESS CLASS ✨💪

We’re excited to be launching a brand new Women’s Wellness & Fitness Class at Bethany Church, starting on Monday 11th May!

🗓 Every Monday (not including bank holidays)
⏰ 6:00pm – 6:45pm
📍 Bethany Church, Hetton Road, Houghton-le-Spring
💷 £4 per person

A fun, supportive space for women of all fitness levels to move, grow and thrive together 🙌

❤️ BUT… our very first session will be something special. ❤️

Our launch night (11th May) will be a charity fitness evening, with all proceeds going to support “Denvah’s Diary – The Fight for Life, The Fight for Sight.”

💷 This first session will be £5, with every penny going to the charity.

Denvah is a little girl bravely battling Retinoblastoma, a rare eye cancer affecting around 40 children each year. She has already lost sight in one eye and is undergoing intense treatment to try and save the other.

This night is a chance for us, as a community, to come together and help in a small but meaningful way ❤️

💬 If you are thinking about coming along, this is the perfect week to start.
Bring a friend, get moving, and be part of something bigger.

For more information, just send us a message on our page.

Let’s fill the room, raise what we can, and show love in action 🙏✝️💪
