GinnelGathering

Our New Year Message for 2024! Let's Get Serious! Prayers with Japan and Nigeria right now!

Gert and Julie Welcome You To Ginnel Gathering Christmas Message 2023! Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year in the Name of Our Lord Jesus Christ! The King of Kings! Our only Saviour! May God's Peace Be With You this Christmas time and always!

For 2024. Something positive and exciting.

11th to the 22nd Dec. Coming together to celebrate and "focus" on our Lord Jesus Christ whose prophetic birth on earth shatters all darkness of this fallen world, a message that we are called to share with others as Christians. God Bless!

George Muller

On track for a "small but intimate" gathering on the 24th Dec which we will stream out on the 25th. Lots to do but we are really hopeful about this. We are really hoping that this space will allow us to gather as a group and deepen our relationship with Jesus, rather than fighting battles on the outside. This space "WILL BE" a place of PRAYER, and place of WORSHIP focusing on Jesus Himself. Praise God!

The vision stands.

Highlights and plans in Scarborough / Twin Ginnel Drawing attention to the times we live in and "evidenced".

(Huddersfield). Concentrating on the study of Acts 9-12 as we move through the entire Book of Acts before our 1 year anniversary in Oct which will be partly held in Huddersfield for this year, but we are going to accommodate those in other places too! God has a plan!

Exploring the canals and footfall as we walk along different routes, stopping to read aloud the Psalms, so as to be in "deliberate earshot" of those walking by. On our Psalm walks we have had the opportunity to speak to those and share the Gospel message. Doing this invites curiosity as people have taken an interest in what we are doing. It's about keeping the word of God public in a cancel culture and finding non-offensive ways to promote an offensive yet merciful and perfect Gospel.

Starting with an explanation of what Ginnel Gathering is all about and exploring the Book of Acts throughout the month of September up until our anniversary meeting in October. Ends with a "sparky" exchange between Gert and Julie (all in good accord and only at the end in our open discussion!!!). Thank you so much for all who came this Sunday! Wasn't the weather an unexpected pleasant change? God Bless!

Enjoying reading aloud the Psalms and fellowshipping with each other afterwards on a bright sunny day in #Huddersfield!

What a wonderful week and a wonderful Sunday! Gert and Julie would like to thank all those who have joined us outdoors as well as those who have joined us for our indoor sessions this year so far! - Please note, we are meeting indoors each Sunday only from now on, but also throwing in a few outdoor Sundays here and there for autumn. From September 3rd - Indoor Meeting, plus we are getting ready to offer an evening session too. Also, from Oct till end of November we are offering a Christmas Carol prep-up group, 1 evening a week to come together and learn, play and sing. We will then take this outside on the streets of Huddersfield during December.

AMAZING KEY MESSAGE TODAY! Gert delivers a message about the story of Joseph and also highlights the symbol of the "garment" amongst other things. What is touched on is "intergenerational behaviours" and how God can use the evil plans of man for "good". It was a superb message with some really good detail and we hope you got something from it today. We would like to see people absolutely inspired by scripture, be immersed in the Word, and be doers of the Word as a result. God Bless!

Key message Luke 15:11-32 "The Prodigal Son". With a little bit of open discussion.

Gert reading from Charles Spurgeon Lecture 6 on "preaching".

This Sunday, again at Greenhead Park for our 11:30am meeting and then at Hidden Gem Cafe for 1:30pm off King St. in Huddersfield Town centre for our Indoor meeting. Gert delivers a message in regards to "preaching" which then leads to a "reading" by Charles Spurgeon (from one of his lectures, this will be uploaded at a later stage). Charles Spurgeon has been called in common circles "The Preacher's Preacher" among other titles like "The Prince of Preachers". The purpose of the message today was to put some emphasis on "preaching" that is to be found in both the "old testament" as well as the "new testament". At Ginnel Gathering we are passionate about talking about how the Old Testament is in the New Testament and the New Testament is the Old Testament. Brother John shares some prophetic insights God has given him and also shares his art and poetry with us today too. Thank you to Brother John! Many thanks for those who joined us in our outdoor meeting today (we totally understand how the weather can be very unpredictable at the moment to put off people in regards to meeting outside at the moment so it was a real blessing to see a couple of new people interested to learn just a little bit more as to what we are about, thank you, we hope you found us friendly and just passionate about God's Word and sharing that with others, and hopefully feel inspired).Thank you. You are most welcome to join us anytime, anywhere, even if that is just a little humble hut at Greenhead Park! This invitation is extend to others. ***We will look at continuing our outdoor gatherings into September as well as the "pop-up theatre" evangelism, but we are restricted to weather conditions. Our "straight up evangelism" will continue throughout the year as normal*** God Bless & God's Peace Be With You!

Just relaxing. We love where God is taking Ginnel Gathering right now. This week has been a real blessing (and some corrections!!!) and as always we just want to see souls saved at the end of the day. Thank you to those who joined us this week, and also those we have spoken to over Zoom who live a bit away from us. God Bless You All! We have some exciting things planned for September as God leads our ship to some unexplored shores!

Sharing a "personal" dream that "may" contain a message about where God would like to see Ginnel Gathering go (emphasis on the word "may" here). *Dream occurred approximately 8 weeks/couple of months ago. *Dream was very personal and not one of those dreams in regards to world events etc, etc... How edifying is this to others though? - We are just making the point that God may be trying to speak to you too! Perhaps God has a message for you too in your dreams. He does this often. However, God will use many different ways to guide you. The main point here is that although we may have a set plan of what "we think" God wants us to do, sometimes He may want to "tweak" a few things and lead us in a totally different direction. It's all about being open to where the Holy Spirit wishes you to go!

Part 2. Are we living in the very, very, very, last days? In short no. Before Jesus returns certain events need to occur as spoken in Scripture. Jesus tells us that only when all these things occur, only then, He is close to returning. Besides, everyday is a day to always be ready for the return of our Lord Jesus Christ!

11:30am at Greenhead Park and then over to Hidden Gem Cafe at 1:30pm. This weeks gathering was "lengthy", therefore, we have split the recording into Part 1 and Part 2. We are now in the Summer Holidays but have made the decision to keep running our "Indoor sessions" (due to unpredictable weather conditions for those who would prefer to meet inside). In September we will be implementing a new format which may surprise some! A "ginnel", a narrow passageway between buildings, an alley, from the English word "ginn", a passage way or road leading to the sea". Leading to the sea......the sea...... May God Bless All in this season who are willing to cast their nets in interesting places, perhaps even unexpected locations to change stale air into "clean salty air". We go where the Holy Spirit instructs us joining up ginnels wherever they may be whenever we can in the Name of Our Lord Jesus Christ!....& in this part Gert shows a bit of his sense of humour! Part 2 - to follow. ***The second part contains the Key Message: Are we living in the very, very, last days? to which Gert explains (as backed up in scripture), that we ARE NOT. We are living in "prophetic echoes", but certainly things are moving towards what scripture describes in regards to the very, very, last days, but we are not there yet. Better to look up and celebrate that wonderful "Blessed Hope!" as we see the day approaching. Sails up, anchor up, let's go!

Back in Greenhead Park but at a different spot. We then head over to Hidden Gem Cafe on King Street. Gert delivers a message on "being wise". Looking a bit more in detail what scripture says about being wise. ***NEW FORMAT COMING FOR SEPTEMBER***

11:30am - Beaumont Park on a very rainy Sunday, and then 13:30pm - Hidden Gem Cafe. Lovely to have some "new faces" join us today! All Welcome! We are growing but not how "that has been defined" in the past. God is doing a "NEW THING". We are ship-building, carefully guided by the Holy Spirit, to lay down foundations in the shipyard, this may "look slow" to the outside world, but we need to build it right. 2023 is about getting the framework right. 2024 is about getting the right sailors on board, and 2025 is about a journey where we have been "PROMISED" a safe journey across a sea that we have been fully briefed on by God. We are prepared for harsh waves. Come and be part of it! Something slightly different! Today was an absolute BLESSING! Fed up of being overlooked? Has the Holy Spirit spoken to "you"? Do you have a message? Not sure what to think? Feel an outcast? Well, come and drop in to us because all we want to do is provide a truthful message, "PUTTING SCRIPTURE / THE WORD" first and then provide space for you to explore that in "your own time" and how "God would like to TRANSFORM that in you!". At Ginnel Gathering we are all for the "underdog", the "rejected", those who have been made to feel "OUTCASTS"! We always put the WORD first. Understanding the WORD provides the "foundation stone", then all else is what the Holy Spirit directs in "you"! This is our message and we are living in the last days. WE HAVE A SENSE OF URGENCY. God Bless All! ***NEVER UNDER ESTIMATE GOD***He will use "small things" to do "great things", and you can be a part of it, if you become humble, admit you are not worthy, and become an open vessel for HIM"!

A mixed weathered Sunday! At Greenhead Park for an Outdoor Reading Joshua Chapter 7 and something about a "big boot", a little bit of creative input from Brother John, Some announcements and then our Indoor Meeting at Hidden Gem Cafe off King St in Huddersfield town centre with another "big boot"! Amen! *******PLEASE NOTE - SUNDAY 23rd JULY OUTDOOR MEETING AT BEAUMONT PARK FOR 11:30am start at the bandstand (or around the bandstand), bring a flask! God Bless!*********
