MEETINGS - We're back!

The last few years have been a journey.

In 2020, we had to go on Zoom when the national lockdown occurred. That worked for the duration but it could never have taken the place of in-person worship.

In May of 2022, we had hoped to return to William Austin Infant School, our venue for over 20 years. Imagine our shock when we learned that we couldn’t return. The combination of pandemic and Ukrainian war had taken its toll, energy expense were too high for the school to have us back.

Not to worry, we serve a God of surprise who is never surprised. God knew this was coming — even if He hadn’t consulted with us. We have been praying and our efforts have been rewarded.

Welcome to our new digs

Fellowship Baptist Church is now meeting at Ambleside Community Centre.

Ambleside is not large. In fact, it’s titchy. Even so, it is able to meet our needs but as time goes by, and we begin to grow again, we will need larger premises. For now we’re just having fun singing together, praying together, worshipping together.

And just being together. We’re like a child with a new toy.

Our service starts at 11am and you’d be welcome. The address is:

19A Ambleside Close
Luton
Bedfordshire
LU3 2SF

Just one more thing. Even though we now meet on Sundays, we still do Zoom prayer meetings, women’s meetings (Servants Hearts), and other occasions as needed. Just ask for the Zoom ID.

And even though we cannot do some things, we are still doing other. What's better, for example, than helping people in need? In the last couple years, we have been able to offer sizeable amounts of money to people in our congregation or in our scope of ministry. When a family recently lost a loved one, we sent a gift of £1,000. When a missionary was in dire need because of health treatment, we sent a gift of £2,000. We even bought a new laptop for young student who needed it for her class work. As Gibbs used to say in the American series NCIS: Don't waste good!

Circumstances may change but the heart of FBC is still focussed on following Jesus and serving our world.
