what’s happening?

Home Groups Our mid-week groups have been studying “ReGroup” by the people who brought us “Boundaries”. It is a powerful study that challenges the way we do home groups, church and life! People are really enjoying it. There are daytime and evening groups available Please talk to Ps Shane if you would like to be part of a group

The Benefits of Speaking in Tongues! Acts 2:4 All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them. Here is an interesting health thought. Dr. Carl Peterson of ORU in Tulsa, is a brain specialist and was doing research on the relationship between the brain and praying or speaking in tongues. Some amazing things were discovered! Through research and testing, Dr. Peterson found that as we pray in the Spirit or worship in the Spirit (our heavenly language) there is activity that begins in the brain. As we engage in our heavenly language, the brain releases two chemical secretions that are directed into our immune systems giving a 35-40 percent boost in the immune system. This promotes healing within our bodies. Amazingly, this secretion is triggered from a part of the brain that has no other apparent activity in humans and we don't use it. It is only activated by our Spirit-led prayer and worship.
