What is the New Life Service?
The Limekilns Church New Life Service is an evening service which takes place, usually, on the first Sunday of the month. It is a more contemporary than the usual Sunday morning service with a band providing the lead and doing mostly more modern songs; although we don't completely abandon the old songs
We have different speakers each time which helps to keep things fresh and the services are usually very well supported. We would encourage you to come along to the next one on November 30th.
In December 2006, the first New Life Service took place.
A brief review of the November 30th New Life Service
This service was title Running the race and was centered around the life and work of Eric Liddell in the Olympics and also his missionary work in China.
The speaker for this New Life Service was Miss Ting (Missionary Ting) from the Rosyth Christian Fellowship.
Miss Ting was an ideal choice to speak about missionary work, especially in the far east, as she was from Hong Kong and is now a Christain mainly because of the work done by missionaries in that part of the world.
Eric Liddell had a fascinating life and did some tremendous work as a missionary and much of that work was outlined this evening. Miss Ting emphasised the need for all of us to witness the word of the The lord whenever we get the chance, sound advice at any time!
We were given a small taste of Chinese worship music by some of Miss Ting's friends from Edinburgh. (It was quite amusing watching Marcia try to guess when to change the overhead to the next verse when they were singing in Mandarin - The Webmaster).
A good way to celebrate both Eric Liddlell and St. Andrew's night.
We hope to see many of you at the next New Life Service on February 1st 2009.
Next New Life Service
The next New Life Service will be on February 1st 2009, at Limekilns Church.
Details will be posted nearer the time.
The New Life Services are usually on the first Sunday of the month.
The New Life Service offers a different style of worship to the usual Sunday morning, with a band providing the lead.
Since that first New Life Service, things have grown steadily and we try to keep things fresh by having different speakers each time who speak on a variety of subjects, mostly related to their own life or experience. There have been many examples of how being a Christian can make a difference in your life and the lives of others.
Although many of the songs we do are newer, we don't completely abandon the old songs. We feel there are still a lot of good songs which should not be discarded just because they were not written in the late twentieth century. We constantly provide a good mix of songs but try to do them in a style which suits the feel of the New Life Service.
