Encouragement Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ. Galatians 6.2 Heavenly Father, we are so grateful for the people You have put in our lives to love and support us. Please give us the grace to see the weight of the burdens of others, and the wisdom to know how to help them to carry them. May all those reading this mail know Your comfort, peace and strength.

As part of this Sunday's meeting, we are having another Pop Up Top Up offering to bless those in our community who are in need. We'd appreciate any food donations you can afford to bring along. Baptisms We are excited to announce that we are planning another baptism service for Sunday 20th July. If you haven't been baptised yet, please speak to Rob or Sarah to get your name on the list. You are welcome to join us for our prayer meetings. Let's stand with other believers as we commit our needs to the Lord. Julie, our Worship team leader, is looking for some people to serve on the Media Team. This will involve operating the computer and sharing the song lyrics on the screens. Speak to Julie for more information. Thank you. Women's Ministry Sarah would love to invite all the ladies to a Cream Tea afternoon on Saturday 19th July.

Where & when does the church meet?

Our Church meets every Sunday at 10.30am for Sunday Service. Aim to arrive 10 minutes early to get parked and find a seat in time for the service to start.

We meet at:

River of Life Christian Life Centre
2 Carr Road, Felixstowe, IP11 2FS

You can see a map on our Contact us page.

There is plenty of parking available on the site.

What should I expect when I visit the church?

You will receive a very warm welcome particularly from our Welcome Team who will be able to answer your questions and direct you to where you need to go. There will be approximately 45 mins of singing with opportunity for church members to pray or read a passage from the bible. After the notices there will be a spiritual message from one of the leaders at the Church with a chance to respond at the end of the service.

Tea, coffee and biscuits are normally served after the service where there is plenty of time to meet new people and ask more questions.

What happens to the children at church?

We have a fantastic programme for children at the Church for ages 0 thru 17. Children stay with their parents at the start of the service as we worship (sing songs!) together for the first part of the morning. An announcement is made when it's time for children to join their programmes. Children need to be registered.

For more information about programmes and age groups, please refer to the relevant pages under the main menu heading "Ministries".

Is there a dress code?

No! Please just be yourself and come dressed in your 'normal' clothes.

Will I have to join in?

Not at all!
You are free to simply observe or participate as much as feels comfortable for you.
