A late post to let you know that our new evening series based on Rick Warrens ’40 days of community’ called “Better Together” starts tonight.

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.

Harvest Festival service this Sun

// September 28th, 2011 // Comments Off // Events, News

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.

• 18th Sept – Time to tend (the sun) with guest speaker Arvind Thomas
• 25th Sept – Time to wait (patience)

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

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.
