Bible Course to be run in October
Posted: Sun, 5 Oct, 2025 (2 weeks ago) by Alan
We are running another 8 session Bible Course from Bible Society. We started running this course a few years ago and around 60 people have done it. There is a new edition of the course now available and we will be starting at 2pm on Monday 13th October at 4, Mill Road, Mattishall (not 6th October as originally planned). If you are interested in joining us, please let one of the Ministry Team know. You can email me, for example, on alan.cossey@matvchurch.uk

Dear Friends at All Saints - Mattishall,
Thank you so much for your kind gift of £200.00 to strengthen your persecuted church family around the world who are risking it all to follow Jesus. Thanks to your prayers and support, our brothers and sisters know they are not alone and can stand strong in their faith.
Since becoming Christians, Rambabu and his wife have encountered rejection and threats from their tribal community. But they are standing strong in Jesus, and your support for them through aid distribution is an answer to their prayers, further strengthening their faith.
“Thank you for identifying with people like us who are in pain, suffering and trouble, and for comforting us,” says Rambabu. “You have showed us God’s love not only through your words, but also through your deeds to feed us and our children. My heartfelt gratitude to you all. Please continue to pray for us and we will also pray for you.”
May the Lord fill you with His Spirit and surround you with His love.
Your sister in Christ,
Henrietta

Dear Friends at All Saints - Mattishall,
Thank you so much for your kind gift of £287.00 to strengthen your persecuted church family around the world who are risking it all to follow Jesus. Thanks to your prayers and support, our brothers and sisters know they are not alone and can stand strong in their faith.
When 15-year-old Godwin* tragically lost his father in an attack on their village by Islamist militants, he couldn’t stop crying, and he struggled to eat. For him and his family, the pain was unbearable.
That began to change when Godwin and his siblings attended a trauma care centre run by Open Doors local partners.
“I am thankful to God because of how He is making me strong,” he says. “I was taught forgiveness and I’ve been able to forgive those who killed my dad – that is why I am thankful, because I have received healing.”
May the Lord fill you with His Spirit and surround you with His love.
Your sister in Christ,
Henrietta Blyth
CEO, Open Doors UK and Ireland
