📖“For we live by faith, not by sight.” —

📖“For we live by faith, not by sight.” — 2 Corinthians 5:7 (NIV)📖

Faith isn’t about seeing the full picture — it’s about trusting the One who does. Even when the path ahead is uncertain, we walk with confidence, not because we know where we’re going, but because we know Who is leading us.✝️

Faith is when you praise God in the storm, you trust Him in the valleys, and you follow Him in the dark. 🙌

Let today be a reminder: you don’t have to see it to believe it. God is working behind the scenes, and His promises are always true. Keep walking — one step at a time — with faith as your compass. 🕊️

🌿 Be the Hands and Feet of Jesus 🌿

In a world where it's easy to scroll past the pain of others, Jesus calls us to stop, see, and serve.

Whether it's a neighbour in need, a friend going through a hard time, or a stranger who just needs kindness—we are called to care.

🕊️ "Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me." — Matthew 25:40 (NIV)

As a church let’s be a reflection of His love. Not just in words—but also in action.

❤️ Check in.
🍽 Share a meal.
🙏 Say a prayer.
🤝 Lend a hand.

Be the reason someone believes God still sees them.

📖 “‘For I know the plans I have for you,’

📖 “‘For I know the plans I have for you,’ declares the Lord, ‘plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a future and a hope.’” – Jeremiah 29:11 (NIV)

🕊️ We serve a God who sees the beginning and the end — and everything in between. His plan for our church is full of purpose, promise, and hope.
Even when we don’t see it, He’s working behind the scenes, shaping us, guiding us, and building something greater than we could ever imagine. 💒✨

🙏 Let’s keep moving forward together, praying and trusting in His perfect timing and direction. 🙌

📖 “Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful.” – Colossians 4:2 🙏

As we journey through Thy Kingdom Come, let us commit our hearts to prayer — steady, intentional, and full of hope. Now is the time to lift up our five — those friends, family, or neighbours who have yet to know the love of Jesus.🫶

💬 Speak their names in prayer.

💡 Stay watchful for opportunities to love and share.

❤️ Be thankful, knowing God hears and moves.

Let prayer be our rhythm, our anchor, and our act of love. 🙏

As we step into this new month, may our hearts be anchored in trust—not in our plans, but in God's perfect guidance ✝️

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.”
— Proverbs 3:5-6

This month, let’s walk with open hands and surrendered hearts, knowing that when we follow His lead, we’ll never be lost. Even when the path is unfamiliar, His direction is sure.

Let June be a journey of deeper trust and direction.🙏

"I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world."

Life in Felixstowe might feel like a mix of calm seas and crashing waves. Whether you’re dealing with work issues, school stress, friendship drama, or just trying to find your place — remember this: Jesus sees you. He gets it. And He’s already overcome it all.

Today, we remember Victory in Europe (VE) Day –

Today, we remember Victory in Europe (VE) Day – a day that marked the end of war in Europe, the triumph of courage, and the cost of peace. As we honour those who sacrificed so much, we also lift our eyes to the Prince of Peace, who brings eternal hope in a world still longing for healing.

“Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.” – John 15:13

Let us pray for peace, give thanks for freedom, and strive to love one another as Christ has loved us.

Sundays are for more than just rest—they're for

Sundays are for more than just rest—they're for reconnection! Worshipping together reminds us we're not alone in our faith. It’s in the music, the message, and the shared moments that our spirits are renewed.

Fellowship isn't just community—it's family. It's encouragement. It's love in action!

So this Sunday, don’t just go to church. Be the church.

Are you looking for more than just a Sunday routine?
Maybe it’s time to find a church home. A place to grow, to worship, and to be surrounded by people who uplift and care for you.

Church isn’t about perfection—it’s about connection.
Whether you’re searching for answers, hope, or just real community, there’s a place for you here at Maidstone Road Baptist Church!

We often remember to pray for the big moments like crisis, change, and opportunity.

But let's not forget to pray for the small things, too, like your morning, your conversations, your peace of mind.

God is in both the storms and the stillness. Invite Him into it all.

God is ready to listen to all your prayers; big or small 🙏
