Weekly Update

Dear Friends,
 
As lockdown 2 starts we can have a very different range of emotions and it is a difficult time for all of us in different ways. Yet as a community of Jesus we still have His hope and there are still many different things that we can do. The first is to pray and strengthen ourselves in God and the second is that we can serve our community and each other.
 
Our live stream service at 10.30am is continuing each week as are our days of prayer and fasting and Friday prayers via Zoom. CAP is continuing its ministry of supporting some of our most vulnerable at this time. A number of other groups are also still providing support. Our Youth and Children’s ministry is on-line and our life groups are all still there to support and encourage. We invite you to be reaching out to your friends and community at this time via text, calls and WhatsApp. If you or someone you know is in need of support at this time please do contact the office. 
 
Further details of these activities are below.

The next video in our Soul Singing series focuses on how God is always faithful, unchanging and  always available to us.  It can be found HERE.

Please do join us for our live stream service at 10.30am this Sunday and every Sunday.

Our 24-hour day of prayer and fasting is on Wednesday 11 November. Please spend time listening to God and praying for our country, our community and our church family. If required, a guide to prayer can be obtained by emailing the office. I encourage to commit to praying for an hour either alone or with your household or on-line with your life group. Please book your hour via this link:

Prayer meetings: We have a church prayer meeting each Friday at 10.00am via Zoom, for our church and community. Grab a coffee and join in. For the link please contact the office (please don’t share the link on social media).

Church Magazine The next magazine will be our Christmas edition. The deadline for submitting articles is 12th November, so why not have a go at writing something. 500 words is ideal length. All articles to be sent to: [email protected].
 
Contact with Church As I am sure you know in-person church services have been suspended during Lockdown 2. I want to encourage you all to look out for one another during the coming month. Please if you are able do ring or text a friend or neighbour and listen to them and perhaps offer to pray with them over the phone.  If you were one of our volunteers who called people during Lockdown 1 would you consider contacting any on your list who are isolated or vulnerable just to ensure they are okay. And finally if you would like a call from the church during the next month just let the office know 01920 487267 or [email protected] and we will ensure that you are supported. The church office is open on a rota basis for emails and phone calls.
 
If you need help with any debt issues from CAP please contact 0800 328 0006 in the first instance.
 
Let us continue to be praying for each other and finding ways of sharing the hope of Jesus throughout this time.
 
With my prayers for you all,
God bless,
John.
