Hi Everyone!
We have some exciting opportunities coming up in September that you will want to be part of.
Encounter
Encounter will be launching on Wednesday the 8th September at 7:30pm. We will be back in the building and Wilnor Tennant will be sharing on our opening night! He will be speaking about Encountering God in the prophetic. Each week we will be worshipping together, hearing from God’s Word and spending time in ministry/prayer. I am really excited for these nights to begin as we encounter God’s presence in worship, Word and prayer! Come along, spread the word and invite a friend!
Pastoral Care Course
We will be running a pastoral care training course in September. It will run for three consecutive Monday nights starting on 20th September and finishing on the 4th October. Each night will begin at 7:30pm and finish at around 9pm. Dean Houston will coming along to take the course. Dean has many years experience in pastoral care, including training others as well as leading pastoral care teams in a church setting.
This is a great opportunity if you are interested in this area of ministry. It will cover areas like the importance of listening, praying, practical support, encouragement and comfort. There will also be some scenarios to work through via role playing.
Numbers will be limited, so if you are interested in attending then please text me (07775039043) or email me at the address below to confirm your place. There will be a small charge of £5 per person to cover the costs of running the course. However, there are some free spaces available if the charge would be a burden. So please don’t let this discourage you from signing up.

Advance, our men’s ministry, is launching a new Bible Study series called Wild at Heart. It will run for 6 weeks starting on Sunday 26th September at 7pm.

Sunday School/Creche/Noah’s Ark
We are very hopeful that we will be able to start our Sunday School, Creche and Noah’s Ark (parent’s and tots) again at the end of September or beginning of October. We are working in the background to make sure when they will be as safe as possible for everyone. Thank you for your patience and we’ll have more news in the next couple of weeks.
On a side note, it has been so good to see some of the young families coming out to church again, thank you.
