Dear friends

The following item was written by Ernest Drake whose funeral service took place at Central Hall on June 25th           Luke

The Humility of Jesus

Humble Saviour, stable born, still my fears from dusk to dawn.

You, who were a joiner, bred.  Bless my tasks this day a head.

Simple baptism by John, opened heaven and on your shoulder came the Dove. Symbol of your Father’s love.

May such love, Lord, fill my days. Glad to sing my Saviours praise.

Forty days you hungered Lord, fencing Satans subtle sword.

Tempting sights of worldly power, failed to undermine your tower of faith. Give such to me, that I may rise above the sea of siren voices bidding well, but seeking only to cast my soul in hell.

Friend of publicans and sinners with whom you dined, forgive those dinners that I may share, whilst others grave and sink in weakness to the grave.

Giver of sight, who saw the crowd, and singled out some poor soul, cowed by life’s relentless ills and from within, drove out the ravages of sin.

Cleanse my heart and set me free, that on life’s journey, I may see the needs of others face to face. Prayerfully to solve them by your grace.  

Anointed one, from woman’s costly jar. Grant my pride may never debar, such help, tendered to me in love, but see it as an offering from above.

Prisoner King, with crown of thorns upon your head.

Your sentence fills my soul with dread.

Cruel hours of pain...but words of glad relief,

To lift the burden of a dying thief.

And do I dare to say, that I have had a trying day?

Of course you knew, you even cared.

For in everything you shared.

Written in response to an open invitation to the congregation of Whitby Methodist Church, from the minister the Rev. Jill B Bowden on Sunday 23^rd July 1989.             Ernest Drake.

Revival Night! with Rodney Howard Browne, New Life Church, Hull -

Monday 27th July 7.30pm

It's with great excitement I invite you to join us for a Revival Night with Dr Rodney Howard Browne. Rodney is one of the worlds leading revivalists, being key to the move of God in 1994, and is still seeing the fire of God sweep through cities throughout the world, with hundreds of thousands of salvations, powerful moves of God's Spirit and signs & wonders. This is an awesome opportunity for Hull to have a minister of such calibre.

Why not fill a few cars up, and join us at New Life Church in Hull for what I believe will be a powerful step forward as we seek God for revival in our region and nation?

If you can help us get the word out at this late notice, that would be awesome!

As seating is limited booking your free seat is essential by emailing office@newlifehull.org with your name and party size.

I believe these are significant days. In 1910 the leader of the Azusa Street Revival stated that in 100 years time a great move of God, eclipsing the one they were experiencing, would commence. That's next year. In a recent leaders meeting with Jean Darnell, God spoke to me quite miraculously about the fire of God sweeping from the Humber up through East Yorkshire.

Quite separately, other national leaders have been drawn from around the nation to pray along the banks of the Humber for a wave of revival. Something is going on. Join us as we seek our King for More in our region and nation.

For our King.
