Friday 13th March 2026 Welcome to this week's Friday Mail, with information about our services, events and ministries. Scripture of Encouragement [46] Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, [47] praising God and enjoying the favour of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved. Acts 2: 46-47 (NIV) SUNDAYS This Sunday's message is entitled, "The Hallmarks of a Healthy Church". What does a "healthy" church actually look like? In Acts 2:42-47, we get a first-hand look at the 'Original Blueprint'. The early church wasn't perfect, but they were vibrant, growing, and deeply connected. Join us 10:30am. MOTHER'S DAY Motherhood isn’t just a title; it’s a marathon fueled by grace, grit, and probably a little too much dry shampoo. Whether you are a mum, a grandmother, a foster parent, or a spiritual mother to many, we want to honour the incredible way you reflect God’s love to the world. We also want to remember those who have lost a mother, mothers who grieve the loss of a child, or those who haven't been able to mother a child.

Where & when does the church meet?

Our Church meets every Sunday at 10.30am for Sunday Service. Aim to arrive 10 minutes early to get parked and find a seat in time for the service to start.

We meet at:

River of Life Christian Life Centre
2 Carr Road, Felixstowe, IP11 2FS

You can see a map on our Contact us page.

There is plenty of parking available on the site.

What should I expect when I visit the church?

You will receive a very warm welcome particularly from our Welcome Team who will be able to answer your questions and direct you to where you need to go. There will be approximately 45 mins of singing with opportunity for church members to pray or read a passage from the bible. After the notices there will be a spiritual message from one of the leaders at the Church with a chance to respond at the end of the service.

Tea, coffee and biscuits are normally served after the service where there is plenty of time to meet new people and ask more questions.

What happens to the children at church?

We have a fantastic programme for children at the Church for ages 0 thru 17. Children stay with their parents at the start of the service as we worship (sing songs!) together for the first part of the morning. An announcement is made when it's time for children to join their programmes. Children need to be registered.

For more information about programmes and age groups, please refer to the relevant pages under the main menu heading "Ministries".

Is there a dress code?

No! Please just be yourself and come dressed in your 'normal' clothes.

Will I have to join in?

Not at all!
You are free to simply observe or participate as much as feels comfortable for you.
