Mr. Peter Chilvers, a former dentist in this town, was the preacher at both the morning and evening services of worship. After serving for a time in Zambia as a missionary dentist, Peter is now employed by the Universities and Colleges Christian Fellowship, which covers over 440 branches in the United Kingdom. His ministry is to encourage evangelism, especially among students at Imperial College, St. George's Hospital, Royal Holloway College and Brunel University campuses.

It was fitting that Tommy Dortez gave the opening prayer in welcoming worshippers to the morning service, which was for youth as well as for families, and included the baptism of three young believers - Sarah Török, Roby Saunders and Tommy Dortez.

After three lively hymns played by Peter on the keyboard supported by Miss Cynthia Troche, violinist, and Arran and Tommy, drummers, James Day led the main prayers.

During Family News, Mrs. Sharron Hardwick informed us that a regular worshipper, Mrs. Mary Williams, is shortly moving to Haverfordwest; the Thursday Prayer Meeting (after which tea and toast will be available) is at 7.30 am because of the deacons' meeting that evening; and this Sunday's evening service, starting at 5 pm, will take the form of a film about persecuted Christians in many parts of the world.

Several young people took part in a drama where one of their number was bound in chains and padlocked. Such bondage represented human beings in their sinful condition. One key after another key was tried. The keys standing for 'Church'; 'Doing Good'; 'Prayer' and 'Bible Study' did not bring release. Only the key marked 'Jesus' turned the levers in the lock allowing the chains to fall off.

After celebrating Jesus' victory over sin and death with a hymn, Sonny Dortez read John's Gospel, chapter 8, verses 31-36 about true freedom.

Pastor Tom Török, ably assisted by his older son Alex, baptised the three candidates by total immersion upon confession of their personal faith in Jesus as Saviour and Lord.

Afterwards, Peter spoke about St. Paul who, while locked up in prison, advised Christians against becoming trapped by the world's hollow and deceptive philosophy. Jesus showed that He was God by what He said and did. Often non-Christians imagine they are free from religious superstitions, but only Christians know true freedom from what binds non-Christians.

In the evening service, Peter read Colossians, chapter 2, verse 9 through to chapter 3, verse 4. He explained what Paul meant by saying that Christians are already seated with Christ in heaven with Jesus. As far as God is concerned, positionally those who believe in Jesus are already in Christ who is ascended. That is what makes believers free from rules and regulations in God's sight. Peter reminded us that in mortuaries there are no rules for the dead to abide by. The deceased are not told what to do and not what to do. Experientially according to Colossians chapter 3, verse 3, we died and our life is now hidden with Christ in God. At Christ's return believers will experience the reality of their present position in God's sight.

Anyone wanting details about the Youth Club or Bible Study Groups or 'The Riding Lights' performance in Ammanford on February 23, is invited to ring Tom Török on Tenby 845838.

This Sunday, Mr. Mark Bedford, a representative from 'Open Doors', will preach at 10.45 am and show a film at 5 pm. All are most welcome to attend.
