23 Feb 12: There's so much to tell you this week that
it won't fit into this space - you'll need to read it all in Phil's latest
message instead. One of the highlights is the new parish
praise and prayer service on Monday night (27 Feb). This is
going to be held once a month from now on. It gives an
opportunity for praying together for the mission and ministry of our
church, for discerning God's plan for us and as a place for general
prayer requests. There'll be some worship and some prayer
stations, but absolutely no need for you to pray out loud if that's
not your thing. Do come along and take part in this vital area
of our church family life - and to make this easier we've cleared
the week of all other church meetings. Before leaving us, our
curate Megan is off to help with First Aid 4 Gambia for a
while. She's requested donations of single-use sachets of
paracetamol suspension (Calpol) to take out with her as part of that
work - please help if you can. And gents, don't forget the Men's
Bigger Breakfast on Saturday (25 Feb) with Councillor David
Mellen.
29 Jan 12: We started a new sermon series today, Mission Possible, where we'll look together at God's mission and how he has been working it out from the time of Adam right up to the present day. To quote Phil, "Starting with the Old testament and moving to the New, we'll explore this remarkable feature of our God; that he doesn’t remain far off and distant but, right from the start, has chosen to reach out to us with a gift of grace". In other news, the
Christianity Explored course starts this week and Megan now has a date for her
licensing in Lenton. Finally, you may have heard of
WYCS (the Wilford Youth and Children's Scheme) - a charity under the umbrella of the Wilford PCC. Well the WYCS Trustees are looking for a
suitably qualified person to lead our newly formed Breakfast Club and planned After School Club
- running in The Centre, the old school building. The job description, personal specification and application form are available from the church office.
2 Jan 12: A very happy new year to you all.
Whether you're in to new year's resolution or not, whether you've
already signed up to Weight Watchers or not, here's something you
can do to kick start 2012. Sign up to our new Christianity
Explored course. You might have been struck by something
from 'The
Christmas Experience' and its message of hope, or you may just
want to find out a bit more about 'what it's all about'.
Either way, contact Phil or the church office and we'll get you some
more information about the course. If you feel like doing
something that will burn off a few calories then perhaps you'd like
to help take down the decorations in church. Come along at
9.30 on Saturday morning (7 Jan) and a job will be found for you!

23 Dec 11: A few updates for you as we move towards the
weekend and our final Christmas services.
The Christingle collection from last weekend has now been counted
and you raised over £600 for The Children's Society - an excellent
amount. Earlier today, Phil was interviewed on Radio
Nottingham about 'The
Christmas Experience' and its message of hope. |
| You can listen
for yourself but the show was four hours long, with Phil's bit
coming after 1 hour, 47 minutes and 15 seconds (so you may want to
move the slider forward!). And for anyone who missed the
announcement in church, Megan will cease being our curate in a few
months as she's been appointed as the new vicar of Holy Trinity in
Lenton - many congratulations to her.
