OF PRAYER - 10th to 16th of February

will be open for
prayer at the following times:
Sunday
- 2.00
pm to 5.00pm

Thursday
& Friday
- 11.00am to 2.00pm
Saturday
- 10.00am to 12.00am
The main theme for the week of prayer will be to seek a vision for the next 10 years so that we can prepare the church for growth and a deeper relationship with God. In addition anyone who wishes to spend time in quiet prayer and reflection is most welcome.
Areas of prayer will focus on the church re-ordering, personal growth and international support. Four prayer areas will be set up with the themes: A Personal vision; A Church vision; A World vision; The cross.
We would value regular prayer about this vision from now onwards so that, when the event takes place, the Holy Spirit will be free to challenge and inspire us.

Here are details of the events planned for 2008
in support of the Leprosy Mission:
SING
OUT
Saturday 18th March 2008 - St. Getrman's Cathedral Peel, Isle of Man.
Are
you in a choir? Were you in a choir? Would you like to be in a choir?
Would you like to listen to a choir? If the answer is YES to any of
these questions then read on.
Dust of your copy of Stainer's Crucifixion - or buy or borrow one
- and join us to sing or to listen to this great work on the Saturday
before Holy Week.
Mike Porter will lead us in a rehearsal from 4.00pm to 6.00pm and
will conduct our performance at 7.30pm.
Bring a picnic and you will have time to eat your sandwiches between
rehearsal and performance.
So that we can make a good profit for the Leprosy Mission we will
give you the opportunity to make a donation on the day - not a bad
price for top professional tuition!
Book now and donate on the day. When booking please indicate whether
you sing Soprano, Alto, Tenor or Bass.
LAUNCH OUT : 19th April 2008

We will pick you up by coach if you can get 20 to go - otherwise we will direct you to the nearest pickup point.

are available at the back of church. If you have not done so before why
not tune into UCB Radio on digital programme 0134-0136.

for all ages. These provide friendship, Christian fellowship and varying
depths of bible study, teaching and prayer. Home Groups usually meet
once a week in someone's house. From time to time groups also organise
social events for group members and families and friends. E.g. Theatre
visits, trips out, picnics, celebration meals, etc.
Some Home Groups meet on Tuesday or Wednesday evenings at 7.30 pm or 8 pm and some meet on Thursday mornings.
