Friday 6th June 2025 Welcome to this week's Friday Mail, with information about our services, events and ministries. Encouragement For we live by faith, not by sight. 2 Corinthians 5.7 Heavenly Father, thank you for the gift of faith. Please help us to remember that our trust in You is what matters most, even when we can't see the path ahead. Grant us the strength to walk by faith, and the courage to face challenges as we trust in Your promises. Amen. This Sunday, 8th June, is Pentecost and we will continue our mini series on the Holy Spirit. Pastor Rob Payne will be speaking. His message is entitled, 'Pentecost'.

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.
