With Easter fast approaching isn't it wonderful to be seeing a bit more of the sunshine!

We will be closed on Good Friday 18th April until Tuesday 22nd April.

We would like to thank you, our wonderful customers, volunteers, friends and landlords, for all your support over the past couple of months as we have faced new challenges to the ministry of Life.

For us this place has always been about so much more than selling Bibles, books, gifts and cards with a Christian message. It is being here to support and encourage people in the various stages of the Christian walk, whether they have been walking with Jesus for years or are just taking first tiny steps towards meeting Him. Whether they come in and just sit a while or need help to choose a Bible or something else to encourage or just read our verse of the day in the shop window.

It has been a real privilege to be a part of peoples lives, to watch as people meet each other, often for the first time, talk together, pray together and even share a hug as they say goodbye. Seeing the way God's Holy Spirit in each one brings a real bond like no other.

It is in times of challenge that we cling tighter to the Rock and in doing so see Him more clearly. We know He is not finished with us yet and look forward to what He will do in Weston and the surrounding areas in the future.

Our God is and awesome God! Lets take some time out over the Easter season to really praise Him as He deserves.

May He bless you as you bless others in His name.

Please note that due to ongoing illness Life will be closing during lunchtimes to allow staff time to have a break. We will therefore be open from 9am-1pm & 2pm-5pm Monday to Friday and 10am-1pm & 2pm-4pm on Saturday. We are very grateful to our staff, willing volunteer helpers and considerate customers during this difficult time. Thank you all for your cards, concern and prayers over the past week especially. We look forward to continuing serving the Christians and churches in the Weston area.

"Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing" 1 Thessalonians 5:11

If you have 'signed up' for this we look forward to seeing you then, if you haven't yet but would like to be a part of this please let us know via the contact page, telephone, Facebook, or come along to the shop this morning or on Thursday 2nd and find out more. We'd love to see you!

We'd like to take this opportunity to wish all our customers and friends a very Joyful and blessed Christmas and a peaceful and happy new year.

"They hurried to the village and found Mary and Joseph. And the baby, lying in the manger. After seeing him, the shepherds told everyone what had happened and what the angel had said to them about this child. All who heard the shepherds' story were astonished, but Mary kept all these things in her heart and thought about them often. The shepherds went back to their flocks, glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen. It was just as the angel had told them." Luke 2:16-20

As we enjoy the Christmas season, we pray that we will all have the wonder and enthusiasm of the shepherds to tell everyone what God did on that first Christmas and to glorify and praise God for his great goodness to us all.

Keep on spreading his Word!

Are you considering reading the Bible in one year next year?

We are planning to start reading through the Bible in one year, daily at Life, beginning on our first day back in the new year.

We will be launching this on Thursday 2nd January 2014 at 12.30pm and again at 7.30pm, when we will fix the dates of other sessions. Please feel free to come along to one or the other.

We will be reading the New Living Translation 'God Sightings - The One Year Bible'. If you, like many of us, would like to read the Bible in one year but feel you need others to help keep you on track, we plan to read daily (Monday-Saturday during our regular devotional, reading and prayer times at Life) and are offering a free copy to the first 10 people to commit to joining us at least twice a month over the year. We will also be offering a lunchtime and evening 'group' to give you plenty of choices to meet with others and chat over what you've been reading and support each other.

We chose the NLT version because it is a modern, relatively simple  English translation and therefore good for new Christians, those who have been Christians for a long time or those who aren't sure yet.

"Once you've seen God at work through his Word, there's no turning back...

You're hooked. Your excited. Inspired. Open to the unexpected.

You can't wait to see what God will do next. Because - maybe for the first time - you see him alive and active in your world.

But until you see that with your own eyes, it's tough to have a vibrant faith. Believing in God can feel dry. Dusty. Grounded in principles rather than passion.

As you make your way through God Sightings: The One Year Bible, you'll explore portions of the Old Testament, New Testament, Psalms and Proverbs. You'll learn to experience God every day. You'll see the amazing ways God is expressing the truth found in His word in the world around you, in your own life." From 'God Sightings: The One Year Bible' Tyndale
