Our Mission: To follow the Will and Word of Jesus, in our communities and throughout the world. Friday 8th May 2026 Welcome to this week's Friday Mail, with information about our services, events and ministries. Scripture of Encouragement …no one pours new wine into old wineskins. Otherwise, the wine will burst the skins, and both the wine and the wineskins will be ruined. No, they pour new wine into new wineskins Mark 2:22 (NIV) SUNDAY This Sunday we are pausing our 'ON PURPOSE' series as Pastor Rob will be sharing and elaborating on an encouragement he brought at the AGM. Are You Ready for New Wine? You can’t pour something fresh into an old mindset. We as a church are in a season of "stretching," because God is preparing us for the New Wine He’s about to pour out! 🍇✨ Join us this Sunday as we lean into what it means to be a "new wineskin"—flexible, prepared, and ready to receive the abundance of the Spirit. This isn't just a transition; it’s a transformation.

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.
