Magherafelt Children's Bible Meeting

19/03/2024

In recent weeks we have been learning about Christ's final days on earth - his entry into Jerusalem, his time in the upper room and in the garden of Gethsemane, his trial and his crucifixion. Thankfully, the story does not end on the cross or in the tomb! Tomorrow evening, our final gathering before Easter, we will consider Christ's resurrection and the meeting will be taken by members of the Youth Fellowship.

On Wednesday, we began a series on the life of Amy Carmichael. We learned how, as a child, Amy would innocently pray for blue eyes to match those of her mother. Little did she know that the brown eyes she had been given would help her carry out God's work as a missionary years later in India.

The church has chosen Colossians 1:18 as its motto text for 2024 and it is also our desire at the children's meeting that in all things Jesus Christ might have the preeminence. Every Wednesday evening, boys and girls are pointed to the Saviour whilst being encouraged to turn from their sin and put their trust in Him. The work will recommence on 10th January and we look forward to seeing the children again, as well as welcoming new boys and girls into our meeting. Spread the word!

No children's meeting this evening as we break for half-term. A summary of what we've taught the children this season...

What every child ought to know - Who is God? What is sin? Who is Jesus Christ? What did the Lord Jesus do? What is the Bible? These five lessons were taught during our week of mission and were followed by five lessons on the life of Joseph. Last week, Reverend McKee joined us and shared a lesson on the truth of God's Word.

The following memory verses have also been taught - Matthew 19:14, Proverbs 22:6, Psalm 86:5, John 14:6 and Matthew 6:33.

A very pleasing and encouraging start to the season. As always, we can say that God has been good and we look forward to many more blessings in the weeks and months that lie ahead.

The children's mission has been and gone, and we give thanks to God for his goodness to us last week. Meetings continue as normal each Wednesday from 7:10 - 8pm at Magherafelt Free Presbyterian Church. Tonight, we start a series on the life of Joseph. All children of primary school age welcome.

Jesus' love is very wonderful

Two nights in and we've been delighted with the number of new faces at our meetings. It's not too late to join us! Meetings continue from 7-8pm on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.

Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.

Proverbs 22v6

NEXT WEEK! From Monday 11th until Friday 15th September, our season will begin with a special children's mission. We're living in an age in which children are being misled and exposed to inappropriate teachings. Why not send them along to our meetings where they will be faithfully taught from the Word of God and discover that Jesus is the way, the truth and the life.

Spread the word and let's make this a week to remember!

But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.

Matthew 19v14

Last week, we had our parents evening as part of the 'Focus on the Family' church Bible conference. We were delighted to see such a fantastic turnout of parents as well as a number of new children. We are grateful for parents who send their children along each Wednesday night.

Then last night, members of our Youth Fellowship led the meeting, taught a memory verse (pictured), brought a Bible lesson and also a quiz. Each young person did incredibly well and we give thanks for their willingness to serve God in this way.

A brilliant end to this block of meetings before we take a two week break for Easter. We will recommence on Wednesday 19th April.

From Monday 20th to Sunday 26th March, Magherafelt FPC is holding a ‘Focus on the Family’ Bible conference. The children’s meeting will run as normal on Wednesday evening with parents invited to join us on this special occasion. Come along to hear the same good news that your children are taught each week and invite others who may have never attended before. All are welcome! We look forward to seeing you there.

We are looking forward to our Spring Bible Conference 2023 with the theme 'Focus on the Family.' Pray that the Lord will use these meetings for His glory. Please share the invitations on your FB page and through personal messages.

Last week, we began a series on the life of Saul and learned of his conversion on the road to Damascus. The children were told that ANYONE can be saved if they call upon the name of the Lord. Saul was a great sinner but became a great servant after his encounter with Jesus. Tonight, we look forward to learning about his new life as a Christian.
