Welcome to our Coronation Weekend Sunday Online at Encounter this weekend. Thank you for joining us. 

This month we have been in our annual vision series, called ‘Close Encounters’ where we have been looking at some of the early encounters Jesus had with people and the difference He made to their lives. We have also been looking back and giving thanks for what has been over the last year, as well as looking forwards and highlighting what we sense the Lord is calling us to lean into in the coming year. 

If you haven’t yet had the chance, we would love you to listen to last weekend’s message from Mark as well as reading last weekend’s Saturdays Contact, where much of what we feel called to and how we are going to resource that has been outlined.  Can we encourage you to really engage with this message and then pray about how you can respond to the opportunities and challenges that are before us. You will find response details below.

This weekend the nation has been celebrating the coronation of King Charles III and as a church we extend our congratulations to him and Queen Camilla. We are praying that King Charles will be led by wisdom, discernment, a deep sense of duty and above all else will know God’s hand of favour on his life and reign. 

Today, Marie Hobbs is closing this current series with a message called ‘Encounter with a Murderer.’ 

We hope that you enjoy worshipping and celebrating with us today.
