...in a time of challenge
Breaking news
And we're back! After 18 months of ForeCast live broadcasts, punctuated with a few physical meetings; then three "area groups"; and then a few months at lovely Manor Court Primary School; we are now back to regular Sunday meetings at Holyrood School. And this page is going to be retired.
For those who are still not able to go to physical meetings together, we will continue to make some key resources available online - typically the notice sheet, the reading and the sermon as an audio recording.
Our online worship library: During the lockdown, we were unable to use other people's recordings in the ForeCast livestream, so we compiled a list of online music to enjoy along with the ForeCast. There is a page of these recommended songs.
Flourishing despite Covid-19
The Bible says, “spur one another on towards love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another – and all the more as you see the Day approaching” (Heb 10:24-25). Our goal throughout the Covid-19 crisis, has been to encourage one another, and to spur one another on to love and good deeds. To this end, we produced a live ForeCast YouTube service every Sunday from March 2020 until restrictions began to be lifted in the last quarter of 2021. Various members of the congregation contributed each week, either live or by video.
The recordings of each Sunday meeting are still available on Forefront's YouTube channel, in the ForeCast playlist. We are grateful to God for the technical means we had to do all this, and the enthusiasm of his people to try anything to meet together.
Forefront weekly life
In addition to the normal contact methods for reaching Forefront, we set up a Skype number so the staff could be contacted any morning throughout the week, whether or not they were able to work in the office. That number remains in existence, but it now forwards to the main office number.
