New series starts tonight

Tom — Sun, 16 Oct 2011 13:09:36 +0000

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

Tom — Wed, 28 Sep 2011 11:19:55 +0000

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.

Sun am Harvest Series now on!

Tom — Thu, 08 Sep 2011 15:07:28 +0000

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!

Summer Schedule

Tom — Mon, 01 Aug 2011 10:06:13 +0000

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.

Sermon Archive – 11th July

Tom — Tue, 13 Jul 2010 09:51:56 +0000

Dave was doing the lazy preach this sunday morning and had us discussing and sharing about certain passages (all in 1+2 Cor I think, certainly the one we had was). Actually, don’t tell him I said so, but it worked really well.

That said, it it really needs editing as all you’ll hear is 10 mins muttering and then some of those who got up to share (not all used the mic). Please ask if you want to hear it though, as it was recorded – I’m just not doing the editing if no-one wants to listen.

In the evening we had a world premier of the new Michelle Moore movie ( OK, not a movie, but Shelley was preching for the first time). Everyone I’ve asked has said it was great, but I was at home with the kids and haven’t listened yet (I’m going to though).

If you want to hear that – it’s here.

Bumper Sermon upload!

Tom — Mon, 21 Jun 2010 20:17:13 +0000

I bet you thought we’d given up on the sermons. Well no, but as always life can sometimes get between your plans and reality. This week, however, we have a bumper crop for you (well 4) from last week and this week.

Last Sun (13th June) Dave spoke morning & evening. The evening one, due to a random conversation with me at lunchtime is about basketball, so that’s got to be worth a listen.

This week (20th June) was Fathers Day. Jules spoke in the morning about relationships – not just fathers, and that’s well worth a listen. I managed to stay in and hear that one live, which is a rare treat at the moment. In the evening Tom (me!) spoke on ‘Humble Isaiah‘ and several people had more than single sentence conversations with me about it afterwards, so it can’t have been too bad either.

Sermon Archive – 30th May / 6th June

Tom — Mon, 07 Jun 2010 11:10:01 +0000

I’ve been away for a week, hence no updates last week, but I’ve got two new sermons for you from the last two Sunday evenings.

Last week (30th May – here) I have what is labeled as Julian speaking – since I wasn’t here and haven’t had time to listen to it yet I can’t confirm that, but have no reason to doubt it’s true.

This Sunday morning was a family service, and again being quite visual didn’t really translate well to recording. In the evening though, Dave spoke on Hebrews 4 – coming boldly into the presence of God.
