Friday 28th August 2026 Scripture of Encouragement We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life. Romans 6: 4 (NIV) SUNDAY 30th AUGUST This week, we come to the end of our series on OLD HYMNS: ETERNAL TRUTHS by looking at the old hymn, "We have an anchor". We also have the privilege of baptising people in the sea! We will meet at church for 10:30am for a service, worship, Word and testimonies. We will then head over to the beach for the baptisms if you'd like to join us. Feel free to bring a packed lunch for a picnic on the beach afterwards along with chairs or blankets to sit on. NB Refreshments won't be served after the service unless the weather is poor and the picnic is held in the church building.

There are many needs in our congregation and community, and our God is faithful. ALPHA The Alpha course is a free, multi-week series designed for anyone wanting to explore the basics of the Christian faith in a relaxed, open, and non-judgemental environment.

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.
