an into the Flame the Gift of God 2 Timothy 1:6 Friday 7.30pm 6th,June, 2025 Ministry founded by Evangelist Roland Tann EVANGELIST HOST PETER RUCK with WORSHIP LEADER GARY WILDER OBE
David Gilbey Former local policeman In 1981, and a new Christian, David commenced a thirty year career as a constable with Essex Police. He then experienced the Supernatural power of the Holy Spirit, which led to him moving in healing ministry and seeing real miracles! But it wasn't until 2014, three years after he 'retired' from the police, that things got really interesting! Sitting in the Big Top of a Christian summer camp, out of the blue, God told him to start a prayer movement in Chelmsford, which quickly led him to connect with and be an influence in regional and national prophetic prayer and other Spirit led initiatives. When Covid came, David felt he must lay everything down. But now, at the start of 2025, doors are once again quickly and Supernaturally opening!

21st June Chelmsford Presbyterian & Holy Trinity Springfield, at Holy Trinity, are hosting a Psalm Roar,
'The psalms are a gift of the Holy Spirit. As we sing psalms the word of God dwells richly in us. Our voices are joined with that of Jesus Christ, the true Worship Leader. In him and through him we praise the Father.
A Psalm Roar is a gathering to sing a variety of psalms in a variety of styles. We aim for singing that is enthusiastic, robust, loud and encouraging! Psalm Roars are suitable for those with no musical background. We want to see the psalms restored to their proper place in Christian worship.'
