A service took place on Sunday evening in the Avenue Centre, Tenby, and saw the welcome return of Margaret after her time away.

Hesed's pianist might not have been able to manage Ravel's left-hand piano concerto, but still coped with his right hand in plaster, and the fellowship sang some well-known worship songs.

Mick spoke about Christians' function as the light of the world. Like a solar-powered torch, they need to live in the light of God, then they will shine in the darkness with no requirement of extra work.

The subject of the pastor's talk was Peter's miraculous escape from prison. James had been killed in a wave of persecution and Peter was to be next. He was released by an angel at the last minute, after eight days of well-guarded imprisonment. The members of the early church were all in prayer but they were not expecting a miracle. When the servant girl found Peter at the door, her excited news took some believing.

Terry Waite said "You can no more release a man from prison by prayer than tell an apple to stop falling from a tree."

However, the late Dr. A. C. Dixon of the Metropolitan Tabernacle observed: "When we rely on organisation, we get what an organisation can do; when we rely on education we get what education can do; when we rely on eloquence, we get what eloquence can do, and so on. Nor am I disposed to undervalue any of these things in their proper place. but when we rely on prayer, we get what God can do."
