What is F.A.M.M.?

FAMM is “For All Mankind Movement”. It is project that focuses of the needs of immigrant workers in Abu Dhabi and Dubai and uses that opportunity to tell the gospel and train Christian workers to go to mission fields in their home countries.

An unexpected visitor.

Sunday morning we had an unexpected addition to the menu at morning worship.  Alan Saunders, complete with an eight foot long cross shared our service with us.  Visiting preacher Andrew Stockbridge shelved some of what he had prepared in order to interview Alan.  Alan is walking from Manchester to London (due to arrive on Tuesday) trailing the cross which has been giving him opportunities to share the Christian faith with folk along the way.    

to keep an eye on progress - and his future ventures

(Lets hope Tuesday is less wet than Monday was !)

Sunday 18th August - morning service.

This morning we welcome Martin Shorey  to HRBC.

I'll let him introduce himself:

Hi, I’m Martin and I’m the minister/pastor of Ramridge Baptist Church.  Before moving to Luton I lived in South London for 3 years where I did my ministerial training at Spurgeon’s College.  Prior to that I was a teacher in a High School in Ipswich, teaching Design and Technology (which I loved).
I am married to Jen (a nurse), and we have a daughter Ellie, who at the time of writing this is almost 9 months old.  We also have two dogs, Pepper and Whisky.
I have to admit that my first impressions of Luton weren’t great.  For a start I didn’t know where Luton was (I thought it was in the midlands), and when Jen and I first came to the church is was a grey, cold, and damp November afternoon.  However the people we met were amazing and we knew straight away that this was where God wanted us.
We have been here almost 2 years now, and we are so glad we came.  We have been blessed enormously by God and the church, and we are excited about all that is going on here, and the journey God is taking us all on.
