Code I: Jesus is my Captain, Brother, Rescuer and Friend.

There will, as always, be fried stuff to eat, so come along and bring a friend. If you don’t have a friend then there’s still 5 days to make one, it will be good experience for you.

8:00 sharp, and whilst there’s normally plenty of ‘the good stuff’, anyone coming too late runs the risk of ending up with museli.

Just a reminder, we have a Midnight Service starting at 11:30pm on Christmas Eve, and Services at 10:30 on Christmas day and New Years Day. There will be no evening service Christmas or New Years day. 

Aaanyway, today saw the first of our Advent series headed ‘Our indescribable gift’ We will be running this series on some aspects of Jesus through the mornings until the 18th Dec. Still to come Jesus the prophet & priest (4th), Jesus the King (11th) and Jesus the answer (18th).

Other dates for your diary over the next month include:

• Our carol service on 18th Dec at 5pm
• Midnight service 11:30-12 on the 24th Dec
• Christmas morning celebration on 25th Dec (10:30)
• and New year celebration on 1st Jan (10:30).

(note there’s no evening service on 25th or 1st Jan)

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

I can tell you who was speaking on these, and when it was, but without listening to them all again I can’t tell you what they were about (I could do that, but  realistically it’s not likely to happen – if anyone else wants to fill the blanks in, just drop me an message).

So here’s what I found:

David Butcher, yesterday morning (up to date stuff, you see)

Craig Cowley, Southern fire meeting Sat 19th – You may see more about this later, it’s well worth a listen.

Tim Robertson from Compassion, Sun 13th Nov

Tim Sharp, 30th Oct

Some bloke called Alex on 25th Sept

and finally going waaay back, Tim Sharp from 25th July

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.

Joe Hobday from Weymouth Baptist church will be speaking (and I’ve  heard great things about him, but then all the speakers at the Grid are nothing short of excellent).

Tickets on sale now, or at the door £3, starts at 7:30. Come along. Seriously, you’ll hear the music from your house anyway, so you might as well be there and enjoy the whole night.
