Welcome to Sunday Online at Encounter Vineyard this weekend and thank you for joining us. We are so looking forward to worshipping together again today.

This Sunday we are drawing our early summer series ‘Rhythms’ to a close. In this series we have been reflecting on how there are rhythms all around us - rhythms in creation and nature, as well as the rhythms that we create in our own lives. 

So far, we have explored the rhythms of intentionally studying scripture, listening to God, living with gratitude and thankfulness, growing in prayer and this weekend Mark will be bringing a message on the ancient and early church rhythm of fasting. In this message Mark will be exploring why we fast as believers and how it helps us deepen our relationship with God.

Next week we start a new series called ‘Framing Life.’

We hope that you enjoy worshipping and celebrating with us today and, we pray that today would be a blessing for us all.

This is a message for all those who are curious about prayer and want to go deeper in their prayer lives. He will be exploring the what, why and how of prayer.

We are now well into our summer series ‘Rhythms.’ This is a series where we have been reflecting on how there are rhythms all around us. There are the rhythms in creation and nature, then there are the rhythms that we create. 

When it comes to dancing, we may not get to choose whether we have rhythm or not ... but the rhythms that matter the most, we do get to choose! This series is really exploring how the lives that we live are the results of the rhythms that we create.

This weekend Malcolm Hayes, who is celebrating his 4th year anniversary with us here at Encounter Vineyard, is bringing a message called ‘Time for G and T’ He will be encouraging us to develop the rhythm of gratitude and thankfulness in our lives.

This Sunday we are continuing our new summer series ‘Rhythms.’ In this series we are looking at how our lives today are the products of the choices we made yesterday and how, if we want different results, we have to choose different rhythms. 

This weekend Marie Hobbs is speaking with a message called ‘Listening to God.’ She will be exploring how God still speaks today and how we should and can listen to Him.

We hope that you enjoy worshipping and celebrating with us today and, we pray that today would be a blessing for us all.

This Sunday we are celebrating communion as well as starting our new series ‘Rhythms.’ This series looks at how our lives today are the products of the choices we made yesterday. So, if we want different results, we have to choose different rhythms. 

Mark is speaking this weekend with a message called ‘Decoding the Bible.’ Of course, we recognise that the Bible can be a confusing book that many of us struggle to relate to. So, with this in mind, Mark will be trying to help us change our view of the Bible as he looks at the importance of spending intentional time in God’s Word.

We hope that you enjoy worshipping and celebrating with us today and, we pray that today would be a blessing for us all.

This Sunday we are drawing our latest series ‘All Things New’ to a close and Mark will be speaking about the reality of heaven and what it will be like in a message called ‘Heaven.’

Many of us ‘wonder’ at what our answer might be to the question, what will heaven be like, and in this message, Mark will try and take this concept and make it relevant to our lives today. He will be unpacking the topic of eternity, looking at what happens when we die and what a ‘new earth’ really means.

We hope that you enjoy worshipping and celebrating with us today and, we pray that today would be a blessing for us all.

We all pass through times when we feel full of purpose, joy and hope and times when we feel overwhelmed, seasons when God's presence is clearly felt and seasons when God seems far away. We can learn more about ourselves by knowing our season and by allowing God to work within and through it. 

Lynette, who works with Kintsugi Hope, will help us embrace the fact that God is always present and working through our different seasons.

We had a good time together last weekend in both our morning celebration as well as over a very sunny BBQ. We are so looking forward to worshipping together again this Sunday.

This weekend we have a special guest worship leader Luke Wareham in the building. 

Online Tim and the band will be leading us. We thank God for them and their amazing commitment to serving and leading in the way they do. No matter what circumstances we may face, praise and worship can mark our lives and take us to the place where we are reminded of God’s faithfulness.

May, the month of multiple bank holidays, the coronation of King Charles III, Pentecost and pilgrimages to Israel is now over and this weekend sees us move into June. That means that today we have our first BBQ of the summer and we do hope that you will be joining us after the morning celebration. 

After a couple of Sundays where we have had a guest speaker and celebrated Pentecost, this Sunday sees us return to our new series ‘All Things New.’ Mark will be speaking with a message called ‘New Creations’ as he looks at how we can find our identity and motivation in Jesus.

We hope that you enjoy worshipping and celebrating with us today as we pray that today would be a blessing for us all, whether online or in the building.
