Preparing for the “Grand Opening” of St Peter’s

Peter Massey — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 14:10:41 +0000

Wednesday 8th February 8pm in St James’ Church. With the “launch” planned for early May, we now have three months to convert the ideas into reality. So there will be an open evening to share ideas and – very importantly – to set up working parties to convert those ideas into reality!

At this stage we imagine there may be three groups – but the evening may produce a better idea – covering:

the events programme;
publicity and communication
finance, fabric and furnishings.

So please come and join us – we need your ideas, your prayers and your participation

Youth Summit

Peter Massey — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 06:14:53 +0000

On Wednesday 29th February 7.30pm St James’ Church we are drawing together all those with current or past involvement with our young people, or with a prayer commitment to offer, or who might become volunteers in the future.

The evening will be a mixture of listening, praying, brain-storming and planning, and we do hope that many will come along and take part.

Amongst the topics to be addressed will be:
- planning direction and strategy for the future
- identifying, training and resourcing the right leaders
- building on our existing schools links
- developing an inter-generational approach for the future
- the role of parents and young people in review and planning
- building a prayer base for our youth and children’s work

Any questions or suggestions before the evening to Paul Towner or Jenny Brooks please.

Lent Course 2012

On Sunday evenings in Lent 26th Feb -1st April 6.30pm (venues vary-see the weekly Notices) we plan to hold our ‘parish’ Lent Course entitled “Fight the Flab”.

The series is intended to unpack a little of what is meant by the baptismal charge, declared even over the youngest child candidate, to “fight valiantly under the banner of Christ”. The six evenings have been give the following titles and themes:

26th Feb – Signed up to fight – the baptismal call to fight

4th Mar – Human nature – good or bad? Paul and the sinful nature

11th Mar – Aliens on earth – here but our hearts are in heaven

18th Mar – On the victory side – the significance of the cross

12th Mar – Diet and exercise – keeping spiritually fit

1st Apl – The world turned upside-down – Christ and contemporary culture

Do come and join us.

Praying with and for the Core Team

Peter Massey — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 15:59:56 +0000

The Core Team meets on the first Tuesday of each month (except August ), and recently they have been feeling the importance of spending more time in prayer as part of their service to the church. And then it occurred to them – why not invite others to join? So starting on 7th Feb 2012 our new pattern will be: 7.30pm Coffee etc and prayer – all welcome. 8.00-10.00pm Core Team meeting.

Do pray for the team and please do join them if you wish.
