Going for Gold

As we start this year together we can feel the 2012 Olympic fever beginning to build already.

For us as a church we have every reason to “Go for Gold”. It is so exciting to see people coming to faith, getting baptised, bringing their friends and families, sharing Jesus at work, being set free...we really do hold an amazing Gospel in our hands. We really do live in a big story of a God who loves His world so much He sent His son and keeps on sending... sending us as missionaries into the places where we live and work full of the Holy Spirit's power,with hearts full of prayer and showing the hospitality of God to all people.

We are embarking on the learning journey with St Thomas in Sheffield to help us look at better ways to make disciples, go and be church in our communities and train missional
leaders.

We are looking forward to learning together how to live in His presence in our daily lives, together and apart.

To help us reflect on all this and be inspired we are planning a weekend away together at the end of September..please put this in your diaries now...we will be having a wonderful time of teaching and worship together in the beautiful setting of Hothorpe Hall..with activities for the whole family. This will cost around £120 for adults and £60 for children with a special price for families. We will get information to you soon so you can start saving. Of course as a church we will help one another so don't let the cost put you off coming...we want everyone to feel able to be part of this vital time in our journey.

Let's ask and imagine even more this year of the God who promises us more than we can ask or imagine!
