That’s right, we give everything away free. Why?

Because we believe in a generous God who wants to meet people at their point of need, whether it’s a physical, financial, mental or spiritual need. He displays this in so many ways to us as Christians, most of all in the giving of his only Son which we remember at Christmas, when we think about him coming as a baby and then at Easter, when we remember him dying for our sins on the cross and coming to life again so we also can have new life through Him.
We believe everything we have is a gift from God and we want to share what we have with those around us to show God’s love for them. Our aim as a church is ‘to serve the community for Christ’ and by giving things away this is just one way we hope to do that.because God gives us so many good things it really

We believe that getting to know those who come and being able to relate to them properly is a key part of what we are doing. With only an hour and a quarter a week, that is getting harder as the ratio of adults to children has risen. With over 50 currently registered, there is obviously a demand for this sort of club, and from what we see each week the kids enjoy it immensely.

We will be loosing another helper after half term, as they move away to start a new job. We have taken the decision now before the club becomes less fun for everyone.

We will be running a waiting list for those who still want to come, and will regularly check to see who’s not been coming so that we can bring new people in as soon as possible. When we get more helpers we will look to increase the number of places.

This will be video based teaching and will tie in with our housegroups during the week, but will be accessible as one off items for those who can’t make it every week.

This promises to be a great set of teachings so come along over the next 6 weeks and join us.

It’s our Harvest Festival this week – the key service in our 6 week harvest series. A great chance to celebrate all the good things God provides for us in our everyday life (obviously thinking particularly of the food).

Don’t worry if you’ve not been to the other weeks (they all stand alone, but do follow a theme), this will be a great week for the whole family to join in an celebrate with us.

We’ll be taking a collection of food (as is traditional) and this will be partly given to the Bournemouth food bank run by local churches, and partly to our Spin group that meets and eats on a Wed afternoon.

Any gifts will be gratefully received, but if you don’t have anything planned yet the following list are things that will be particularly useful:

Tea, coffee, instant hot chocolate . Tinned fruit, ketchup, uht milk, tinned fruit and veg, potatoes, dilute juice/squash. Tinned custard, sugar, flour, mayonnaise, tuna.

Our series running through the harvest season is now on. If you missed this Sunday we started with ‘A time to sow’ talking about the land (and mud eating shock from the pulpit).

Our series for the next few weeks on Sunday mornings (10:30) runs as follows:

• 1th Sept – Time to water (the rain)
• 18th Sept – Time to tend (the sun) with guest speaker Arvind Thomas
• 25th Sept – Time to wait (patience)
• 2nd Oct – Time to harvest (work) our Harvest Festival (Family Service)
• 9th Oct – Time to rest (relax)

Come along and celebrate the goodness of God’s provision with us this autumn!

• Sunday morning services will continue as usual (10:30) – there is no Splash/Bubbles for the kids, but we have something ‘easy preparation’ for them (OK, so it’s a Story Keepers DVD and some colouring/puzzles!) so they don’t have to sit through the adult sermon.
• There will be no evening services during August.
• Wed prayer meetings will continue as usual.
• Mums & Toddlers will continue on a Friday morning except 26th Aug and 2nd Sept.
• JAM and the Edge on Friday have finished until 9th Sept. If you want to book someone in for JAM next year (expanding the age range again means we may be too full to just take anyone who turns up on the night) please use the contact form.

Also, happy star wars day.

After the manic running about of Easter and weddings and bank holidays, everything has to go back to normal eventually (unfortunately).

So Prayer meeting is on tonight (wed), not that that actually stopped. Mums & Toddlers, JAM and the Edge are all back on Friday. Services are (at least as far as I know) all back to normal on Sunday as well.

Look forward to seeing you all then.

This is an interim appointment, lasting until the next full eldership process due next May, at which point the whole eldership will be eligable for re-appointment (if you still want us).
