It is February, and each year the first thing that enters our thoughts is love. Along with various meanings, Oxford dictionary says regarding love “a strong feeling of affection.” Merriam Webster adds to that “out of kinship or personal ties.”

The word of God has much to say about love including John 15 v. 13. “Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.” That ties in with John 3 v. 16. 

We had 13 out to January’s GGMH hymn sing. We all miss fellowship food afterward, but we are thankful for being able to share the music and talents that fill our souls to overflowing ‑“Then Sings My Soul.”

Although the end of January and February, so far, have ushered in extreme cold, we refuse to cancel Sunday morning services. In a time when churches are being closed, sermons are being censored, and much more, this is a time we need to honour Hebrews 10:25, “Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.”

We would “love” to have you join us in worship any Sunday morning at 11 a.m. All requirements regarding COVID are ensured and we believe you will find the distance is worth the drive. If you do not have a home church to attend, why not make Turtleford Baptist Church your regular place of worship? You will find everyone friendly, and sharing the truth of God’s word is a priority. 

Until March remember: “My life may not be going the way I planned it, but it is going exactly the way God planned it.”
