What's God Ever Done For me? - Bethany

I was raised knowing Jesus and knowing that God was with me. He was always a friend who was protecting and watching over me. I was baptised at St. Erkenwald’s and had attended the church growing up.

 

At the age of 19 I was asked to go to an Alpha group, but initially declined. However, when the next course came along I signed up for it as I felt more open to going and wanted to give it a try. At the Alpha course we were given the opportunity to really learn more about God and ask questions and think seriously about what becoming a Christian was about. I met some fantastic people and I can really say they are now true friends of mine. On the Holy Spirit Day which the course culminated in, I know I felt God was with me and I experienced it all for myself and things all just clicked into place for me.

 

I knew that after this there was no denying my belief in Jesus and what he did for us. I have grown to realise the importance of knowing God and having him in my life. I love St. Erkenwald’s and the people in it. I love the fact that modernism is not something to be scared of but embraced. I love the fact that even in a service we can have a laugh and have fun, but above all I love the fact that God is paramount there and he is truly the head of our church.
