This Sunday...

Hello PCC

Just a brief reminder that we are meeting at 4pm on Sunday at Keyfox (GU28 9JL). We'll share tea together so please bring a plate of something to share. Drinks will be provided.

Before we have tea, Kate and I are hoping to have a chat with Ruth (Evolve), Danny (Mentoring young people with drug abuse issues) and Jonny (Petworth Youth Provision - SBYC)... Then we'd like it if we could all pray for them, encourage... empower... release gifting/anointing... seek God together for what God is saying 1) to them 2) about the sphere they are influencing.

For the children... you will be given a sheet of paper to draw your school and write down around it the things you find tough about school, the things you love about school and things you would like to see happen in your school.

Followed by tea... See you on Sunday!

Totes Amazeballs! (totally amazing darling!)...

An amazing time this morning. We sang the roof off, prayed our socks off and then planned the next three months of PCC gatherings. Not bad for one morning!

As I said this morning we will produce an all singing all dancing printed programme in due course but I thought it would be good to post details of our next gathering so we're all aware. The rest of the dates and details are on the calendar page (click PCC Calendar - top right) and I will get working on some printed publicity post haste!

We will meet at Keyfox for afternoon tea at 4pm - please bring a plate of food or drink to share. As well as the shlurping and nibbling, John will lead us in a focus on "Church in All of Life" this time looking at those working with young people. See you there!

I'll leave you with Marianna's thought's from this morning. Spot on I thought...

Church is not a place to worry and wonder,
Church is a time of freedom in God.
Church is not a time to push away others,
It is a time to include all that are willing.
Church is not a time to wish away,
It is a time to link each others thoughts over the death of our Christ.
We must join our forces, unite our strength
And realise how to posses never ending love

Full details and application forms are on our website at www.dalesdowncamps.org.uk/camps-2013/.

I love it when a plan comes together...

 

Hi everyone!  Firstly a huge THANK YOU! to everyone who got in touch with ideas, comments and suggestions regarding our current time of review and possible ways forward. We weren't very clear last time we met and many of us left a little confused or frustrated. We met as a leadership team on Friday and talked late into the night formulating a plan to take us beyond this phase. So...

For the next three months (June, July, August) we will meet every week on a Sunday. On the second and fourth Sundays we will meet at 10:30am. The second will always be at the Sylvia Beaufoy Youth Centre and the fourth more flexible. On the Sundays in between (first, third and even fifth) we will meet at 4pm for Sunday tea (how lovely!).  Of course - that doesn't mean we can't meet on any other day of the week too, and some of the ideas put forward may be better suited to another day or time.

So that's the 'when'. What's left is the 'what'. And that's where all those brilliant ideas come in! So please could everyone who has come forward with ideas for gatherings arrive at our next meeting on Sunday 26th having thought about how they could fit in to the new plan.  And, there's still plenty of room for more ideas - for Sundays, or any other day of the week!

So to our next gathering... We will meet at the Sylvia Beaufoy Youth Centre on Sunday 26th May at 10:30am. We will spend some time worshipping, praying and sharing communion, before a brief bit of feedback from our meeting. After this we will share a cuppa and some nibbles whilst also putting some of the brilliant ideas onto the schedule.

Really look forward to seeing you all, Jonny
