Friday 28th November 2025 Welcome to this week's Friday Mail, with information about our services, events and ministries. Encouragement "He led me to a place of safety; he rescued me because he delights in me.” Psalm 18.19 Heavenly Father, we thank You for Your unfailing love and for Your promises of safety. We are so grateful and amazed that You delight in us and want to see us set free. Lord, You are amazing! Amen. This Sunday, 30th November, Pastor Rob will be speaking. He will be sharing a message entitled 'Delight Yourself In The Lord'.

Thank you! We were blown away by the generosity of our Church and local community. You guys have exceeded all targets with a massive 920 boxes sent from River of Life and an extra 73 from the local community. Amazing! Huge thanks to Sally, Anita, Alan and all involved in organising the shoeboxes and getting them distributed. Sunday reminder- Tree of Hope deadline A reminder to those who took tags: your gifts for the homeless need to be in this Sunday. Many thanks. Prayer meetings You are welcome to join us for our prayer meetings. Let's stand with other believers as we commit our needs to the Lord. Christmas services: With Us We've added a Christmas Day service to our 'With Us' Christmas programme. We are so looking forward to celebrating our Emmanuel. Invite your friends, family and neighbours to join us. Pop Up Shop Needs Thank you so much to everyone who supports this important ministry by buying extras to bless those who need to use our Pop-Up shop. This week's needs include soup, sanitary products, bottles of squash and cereals. Thank you!

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.
