Dear Friend of Saffron Walden Bible Focus,

Can you believe it is four months since our September event with Alasdair Paine when we were blessed by his wonderful exposition of God’s Word?

As you may know, we are holding a Spring event on Saturday 14th March, from 10am – 12pm and you are warmly invited. We will be meeting in the URC Hall, Abbey Lane, CB10 1AG. Directions

There will be a creche facility for 0-3s. Registration will be at 9.45 am to ensure a prompt 10.00 am start. Admission is free, though donations towards our running expenses are welcome.

The format will consist of two sessions of teaching with time for discussion and prayer. Tea, coffee and biscuits will be served between the sessions.  

Dan James, pastor of Eyres Monsell Community Church, Leicester, will be our speaker and his title is “The Local Church – relating to each other and to the local community”. It promises to be a challenging event with teaching from God’s Word applied practically to our situation.

Numbers are limited so please book in advance.  Bookings (including 0-3s for creche) should be made to swbible.focus@gmail.com.  We are not issuing tickets but will reply with confirmation of your places(s). Booking closes on 28 February.

It would be helpful to know if you, or others you know, might be more likely to attend if there was provision for children above creche age. Children are welcome to stay with you in the hall if they do not disturb the talk, but we would consider putting on children’s work for 4-11s if there is sufficient demand.  Please reply if such a provision would be helpful for you.

Please do pass on the date and details to anyone you know who might be interested. Just make sure they have the email address (swbible.focus@gmail.com) to tell us they are coming. Word of mouth is our best advertising!

There is no routine parking at the church, but the Swan Meadow / Town Centre car park is less than 10 mins walk away. Disabled parking spaces must be pre-booked along with your place at the talk.  Directions

Looking forward to your reply.

Thank you for your continued prayers for Saffron Walden Bible Focus. Here are a few pointers for our intercessions as we move further into 2025. This
new year, will see (God willing) the ninth autumn event since we began in 2017. Praise the Lord!

Dear friends,

Thank you so much for your prayers for Saffron Walden Bible Focus.  They are not just appreciated, they are essential.   “The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective” (James 5:16).  So, with under three weeks to go before the 2024 event here are some important matters for your intercessions.

Bookings

Although bookings began to come in rather slowly at first they have picked up well now.  However, there are still places, so if you haven’t yet booked or know friends who haven’t, you have until 9^th September to do so.

Autumn event

Please pray for

• Martin Salter, the speaker, for the power and liberty of the Holy Spirit as he takes the theme of ‘Freed to Serve’ from Galatians.
• safety and good health for Martin and all who attend.
• for a real sense of the Lord’s presence and power.
• that still more will be blessed by booking in soon.

SWBF Team

• We continue to thank the Lord for the faithful commitment of many who have been involved with Bible Focus since its inception in 2016, and those who have ‘come on board’ more recently.
• We praise the Lord that two people are considering joining the Team. Please pray for them as they seek the Lord’s guidance.
• We have been able to provide a children’s programme in past years at the autumn event. However, this year there is a shortage of leaders – and children! – so please pray for the Lord’s solution (meanwhile some suitable films will be shown).
