Friday 4th July 2025 Welcome to this week's Friday Mail, with information about our services, events and ministries. Encouragement O Lord, I will honour and praise your name, for you are my God. You do such wonderful things! You planned them long ago, and now you have accomplished them. Isaiah 25.1 Thank You Lord for Your faithfulness in fulfilling Your promises to us. We praise You for all You have done for us as we recall how You have answered our prayers. Please help us to be more like Jesus in our words and actions. Amen This Sunday, 6th July, Pastor Rob and Sarah Payne will both be speaking. Their message will be looking back over their first year at River of Life and is entitled, 'Looking back...looking forward...'

A huge thank you for your generosity and kindness. The leadership team were blown away with the Pop Up shop offering, and thankful for those who also gave towards purchasing gifts for Langer Primary leavers and others in need in the community. Here's a picture of just some of the food, cleaning products and toiletries brought in to bless the local community. Thank you! Baptisms We are looking forward to a baptism service on 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. The children have a new topic, learning about the beach-side miracles of Jesus. Let's pray for our children and team, and that the 'River of Life Kids' ministry will grow and be blessed. Women's Ministry Sarah would love to invite all the ladies to a Cream Tea afternoon on Saturday 19th July. Please book by clicking this link: https://forms.gle/kdZvMefMUc8u5JeXA

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.
