Get ready for a wonderful weekend, starting Friday Dec 2nd, of thoughtful celebration and worshipful meditation, as we look deep into what Advent means to, and for us!

Do take note - on Sunday Dec 4th, our cafe-style Church 'Passion4', is right in the middle of 'Adventus' - our arts-weekend celebration of Advent. We've combined the two together, and it's going to be fun! Read more ...

Thought you might like to know where to find recorded versions of some of the new songs we are gradually introducing at various times of Worship over the coming weeks and months. Feel free to comment here on your own recommendations too. Read more ...

Day 1: Arrive at New Wine and set up new tent with some difficulty. Mike teases me for arriving via Bristol. Cook a nice chilli, then go to register children into their clubs. Ellamay excited to find a Treasure Island style set at her Venue, which looks about 5 times the size of Walton Hall and with more spotlights than Vegas. Read more ...

Here's a great idea to get your family praying together.

 
First, download the 'Prayer Cube' (attachment found at the bottom of this post, or go to the 'Downloads' section of this website).
 
Print it out, and then write your prayers on each side. Perhaps use a variety of 'you are great', 'thank you', 'sorry', and 'please' prayers. Then cut it out and stick it together, and use as a family!

There was no way I could resist posting this, after hearing about it today. Watch this incredible video of how a group of Blind Photographers used 'sensory photography' to capture the images being displayed in their own Exhibition....

Ok - so you're thinking to yourself "I like the idea of this Passion4 thing (formerly known as First Sunday)" and you want to know more about it. 'Will it be ok to just turn up?' and 'How do I know what to do when I get there?' All good questions....

I like acts of confession and worship that are physical - especially in a Small Group setting. They get us up out of our cosy spots on the sofa in our Living Rooms and in doing so, stop us becoming people that merely 'think' rather than 'do'. (Oh - it's not easy, I know. We'd all much rather not have to move....)

'Am I Everywhere?' is the presentation we made for THIRST in November.

 
It's a Powerpoint Viewer file (see the attachment at the bottom of this page), which will run from any PC/Laptop, or you can port it through to your TV with a VGA or HDMI cable. You can use it in your Small Groups this coming week to prompt both Worship and discussion...... Is God really everywhere? Is He really with us in every circumstance? Do we believe that? How do we know?
