Encounter Morning for Women, November 2025

What a joy to be together for worship and teaching on Saturday 8 November in St John's Orangefield. God spoke powerfully to many of us through Natalie Trainor's testimony and Ali Calvin's teaching on John the Baptist. We're so grateful to them, to Jude and the band, to the prayer ministry team and to our hosts. Thanks also to The Book Well who brought along a treasure chest of books and gifts.
