Stradbroke Baptist Church has a local friendly congregation in an expanding village in Mid-Suffolk with a population close to 1750. The village has a primary and high school, bakery, library, post office, surgery and local shop along with a village hall and sports field. Due to its rural location most folk tend to work in local industries that support or relate to agriculture. Many of the elderly folk have spent a near lifetime in the village and are surrounded by three generations of family folk – most of the elderly folk recall Sunday School days at the chapel.
Bruce Francis has been the minister since April 2018 and over the past seven years has witnessed the congregation steadily grow from a faithful few to a regular gathering of 40+/- precious souls. The fellowship remains greatly encouraged through worship and its outreach in the village. The church hosts a monthly singalong supper on the first Sunday of each month and a weekly ‘prayer and share’ time that is also growing in numbers. Wellbeing Wednesdays attract up to 40 villagers each week who enjoy a warm space, a meal and afternoon games.
The fellowship continues to be excited and thankful in what the Lord has been doing over the past few months and is expectant in what He will do among them, through them, and in them, in the days ahead as they commit their way to Him and His Word.
