Sundays 10.30am Morning Service taken each week by
visiting preachers.

August is very much the holiday month of the year, and we love to welcome

visitors to our 10.30am Sunday morning service. It is also the time of our Truth 4
Youth conference for teenagers and young adults. Truth 4 Youth, which runs over
the Bank Holiday weekend from 24-27 August, brings the truth of God’s Word to
young people. This will be the fifteenth year that young people from all over the
country will meet at Heatree Activity Centre in Devon for four days of Bible
teaching, many different outdoor activities and good food! The team from the
Chapel will welcome over 180 guests to Heatree, and also the four speakers.
God has greatly blessed these teaching conferences over the years and our
prayers are that He will do the same this year, equipping and encouraging young
people in their Christian faith.

‘Concord – with one accord’

Some time ago I watched a repeated
programme on TV about Concorde,
which told the story of the arrival of
Concorde Flight BA002 from New York
to Heathrow on 24 October 2003.
th
Ac c o mp a ni e d b y t wo o ther
Concordes, it marked the end of a very
special era. The three planes landed
within minutes of each other in true
concord, harmony and oneness, even
though it was hardly peaceful, with the rolling thunder of the four Olympus
engines that powered each supersonic plane.
The design of Concorde began in 1956, and it first flew at Toulouse, France in
1969, but it was not until 1976 that passenger services began, with BA flying from
Heathrow to America in 3⅟2 hours at Mach2, twice the speed of sound, at a
height of 50,000 feet. Its cigar shaped interior carried only 100 passengers, and its
drooping nose cone and two eyed windscreen made it look like a sad swan!
The terrible crash of the Air France Concorde in July 2000 marked the beginning
of the end for a very expensive, yet glorious supersonic flying machine.
Right to the end the expected coming of Concorde caused many people, like
myself, to look heavenwards to see and hear this majestic man designed and
839209 made bird in flight, and listen for the sonic boom as it broke the sound barrier.
