Friday 17th April 2026 Welcome to this week's Friday Mail, with information about our services, events and ministries. Scripture of Encouragement [28] And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. [29] For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters. Romans 8: 28-29 (NIV) SUNDAY Do you ever feel like you’re just "going through the motions," or like life is happening to you rather than through you? It’s easy to get caught in busy schedules and endless to-do lists, but we believe you were created for something much more intentional. We are so excited to announce our brand-new sermon series: ON PURPOSE. Join us this Sunday as we kick things off with our very first message: ✨ "Living on Purpose" ✨ We’ll be diving into what it looks like to shift from "accidental living" to a life fuelled by God’s design. SUNDAY EVENINGS LEADERSHIP STREAM This Sunday, our first session is designed to move leadership away from the "corporate ladder" mentality and toward the biblical "shepherd" model. In a world obsessed with LinkedIn titles and corner offices, Peter’s words in 1 Peter 5:1-3 are a refreshing, and slightly convicting splash of cold water. DATE FOR YOUR DAIRY Join us Sunday 26th April as we host Josh Carr at River of Life. Josh is a worship leader who has worked with Noel Robinson, Philippa Hanna and TripleO. He is currently the DRIVE TIME host on Premier Radio. Click the picture to visit his YouTube channel.

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.
