BRIAN LEADS A SPLENDID TIME OF FELLOWSHIP, FRIENDSHIP, FUN, FOOD AND GREAT MINISTRY IN CROMER IN BEAUTIFUL NORFOLK.

Dear Friends,

I write this on behalf of Brian and Gilly to thank you all for your support and prayers, and for such a lovely time of friendship, sharing, togetherness, fellowship and ministry we had in our great gathering at the Christian Endeavour Home of "The Pleasaunce" (pictured below), in Overstrand near Cromer last week. 

 There are many who have helped Brian and Gilly over the years in the midst of some real opposition, and many of them were with us in Norfolk to say “thank you” to. Our time in East Anglia was covered in sunshine all week as the Lord blessed us even more, and it gave us just another “wee glimpse” of the love, sharing and enjoyment experienced by the true Church of God before we are Raptured to the Heavenly Places far above all!

Around thirty people (some pictured above) booked in for the conference week but we were delighted to see "old friends" Heather and Graham from local towns in Norfolk join us for many of the sessions, as did several from a "Christian Singles Party" who were sharing the facilities at The Pleasaunce with us.

The title for the week was "Secrets and Mysteries Hidden in God's Word" and the main speaker was Brian Gemmell who took four delightful morning sessions on the book of Ruth with a sub title of "End Time Secrets".  

Pictured above is Brian being "photo-bombed" by the ebullient Janet Ryan from Manchester who just loves the "party spirit" at these gatherings. Do you remember her doing the same to poor old Amrik Johal at our last seminar in Matlock in November (pictured below)? There is never a dull moment with dear old Janet around (You Will Never Thirst Again - an inhouse moment of humour)!! 

In the evening sessions Brian concentrated on the seven churches in the Book of Revelation concluding with the infamous Laodicean church which is a symbolic picture of the lukewarm church of today which Jesus wants "to vomit out of His mouth"!

Also some special praise to Jonathan Hill for his marvellous ministry. Jonathan obtained his honours degree at Southampton University and still resides on the South Coast with his wife and two children. 

He took three early morning devotions at the conference on "The Witness of The Living" as well as a full powerpoint presentation on "The Nobleman's son Revived" (below) and also is pictured with Brian and Gilly.

There was also a fascinating and thought provoking message from Richard Snowdon from Oxford on "Faithfulness In A Post Truth World" based on his his new book "The Misplaced Rapture" which is due for release very shortly. Richard is also the author of "The Missing Baptism" and is pictured in a couple of the group photos below along with his lovely wife Christine.

We must give thanks to Maggie and Ralph Page (pictured below) for their leading of the songs and worship, and also the recording of the week's events. 

  Many Thanks also to Anne Powell who organised the Teaching Retreat and Keith Cline who introduced most of the events amongst many other things (both captured in the photo below, as is Brian). There is a clearer picture of Keith in the right hand column, and there is also one of me and several other supporters not seen here in these pictures.

Also thanks (I think???) to Mark from Bristol for daring to wear such mind-blowing and colourful shirts every day to brighten up the proceedings. Here is one of them if you can cover your eyes for a moment, as he is pictured with the Escreets! I am not sure if they are suitably impressed?

We had many other marvellous moments in our week entitled "Secrets and Mysteries Hidden in God's Word". The whole event was recorded and is available for purchase. All thirteen sessions at Cromer on eleven CD's are available for just £20, but there are other smaller packages available upon request. Please contact Brian or Gilly via email at briangemmell@hotmail.com for further details on how to purchase these impressive products.

So dear friends, be blessed by our great God and Saviour the Lord Jesus Christ, and we look forward to seeing many of you again at our next conference.

This one will be back at the superb Willersley Castle (pictured below) in Matlock in The Peak District from the 19th to the 23rd of November. There are more details at the top in the right hand column. 

Anne Powell is already taking bookings for this great gathering and the sooner you book, the sooner you will be pleased with your lovely en-suite accommodation. Please phone her on 0161 440 7204 for details. 

Maranatha Blessings,
Neville.
