Summer Schedule
// August 1st, 2011 // Comments Off // General, News
Well, it’s August and while God doesn’t take a holiday, a lot of his workers do, so we trim our timetable down a little during the summer to allow people to recover from the rest of the year. Just in case anyone comes looking, here is our summer schedule for this year.
- 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.
JAM in the park
// July 21st, 2011 // Comments Off // Events, Jam
As of Thursday night it’s not looking very hopeful for getting to the park for the last Friday this school year. Check back tomorrow for a final decision if the weather is looking variable.
Not to worry though, we can have all our races and fun at the church instead (and the hot dogs and cakes!). That’s the advantage of having plenty of space to work with.
JAM & Edge update
// July 5th, 2011 // Comments Off // Jam, The Edge
There’s still a couple of weeks of JAM & the Edge left – they finish on the 22nd July (JAM have a trip to the park, if the weather is good). We’re letting the leaders have a well deserved summer break then, but both will be back again in September.
In September, we will be extending the age range for JAM to include anyone in primary school, to fill the gap between JAM and the Edge. This to mean we may actually be reach our limit of those attending, so we’re going to be giving priority to those already in JAM (or brothers and sisters if they’re coming into the new age range), and then to those who register in advance.
If you want to register, please pick up a form on a friday night, or contact us to get hold of one.
Street party pictures
// May 22nd, 2011 // Comments Off // Events
The street party we held for the Royal Wedding went really well, we had loads of people and everyone seemed to be enjoying sitting and chatting all afternoon (and eating the cakes, and drinking the tea….)
Terry kindly let us have a copy of his photos from the afternoon, so I ‘ve added a few here.
The Grid – 20th May
// May 12th, 2011 // 1 Comment » // Events, The Grid, Youth
The next Grid event is coming up on 20h May.
Andy du Feu (Director of Training for Family, Youth and Community Work at Moorlands College) will be speaking at this event.
Andy worked with us at SCC while he studied at Moorlands some years back, so it will be great to see him back again and we know he’ll be bringing a great message.
Start @ 7:30pm, tickets £2.50. See you there.
FIRE!
// May 9th, 2011 // Comments Off // Sermons
Resuming uploading sermons again, at least temporarily, as I had several requests for yesterdays within minutes of the service being over.
Pastor Alberto from Portugal (recently) and Brasil (originally) brought us this message about keeping the fire burning in the temple of God. The message is in Portugese and translated by his wife Francesca (sorry if the spellings are bad here) who has been at SCC with their son Marcus for some time now. Alberto is returning to Portugal for the time being, but feels God calling him to the UK, so we look forward to seeing him back with their other son soon.
Anyway, have a listen to the message if you missed it (or if you just want to hear it again). My apologies if the sound levels are a little off, we were balancing the two mics for the congregation which probably makes the recording a little loud at times.
