 ‘This Life’ Christian Festival 2006 |
November is highlighted by our biennial Christian festival. From the 10th to the 19th of November 2006, it gives the whole church family a wide range of opportunities together to obey the command of our Lord Jesus Christ to take the good news to those who do not yet recognise him.
It is a celebration of our God given news about Jesus Christ and an opportunity for anyone to come along and join in the events and learn more about the life which lasts forever.
So it is for all who are not yet Christian –who do not know ‘this Life’ for themselves. It is for our family members, our friends at our club or the school gate, for our work colleagues and those we travel with.
All of us in the church family are in the front line of this work - praying for, inviting and bringing our friends and colleagues. Ours is the first and most important part of the work. But we are not alone! Nick Cuthbert from the Riverside Church in Birmingham is well known and trusted here in Crowborough; and he will again be bringing members of his team to help.
The theme is ‘This Life’ with the subtitle ‘given 4 U?’. It is all about Jesus and how we can be rescued from death through him.
The Festival is organised by All Saints and St Richard’s Churches.
So what’s on?
We have organised many exciting and interesting events during this week, please visit our event diary for more details.
The Men’s and Women’s Breakfasts and St. Richards early Sunday Breakfast explain themselves. The Music Café and lunchtime Classical Concert and ‘Strictly Come Ballroom’ tea dance add music and movement to the mix. Then the ‘Murder Mystery’ and ‘Colour Me Beautiful’ evenings and football, golf and rugby events extend the range. At every event the gospel will be presented in a clear and accessible way.
But the ‘Food for Thought’ coffee mornings and suppers, held in people’s homes are at the heart of the Festival. These are where our guests will have a chance to hear the good news explained simply and ask honest questions with confidence.
And our regular church services on both Sundays will be ‘Come & See‘ events, specifically geared to make visitors welcome.
How can I help?
By praying regularly for ‘Food for Thought’ events to be arranged and for people to be invited. Be prepared to be the answer to your own prayers! Pray above all for the Lord Jesus to be widely recognised and honoured.
Then there is catering, and stewarding, and many other jobs we have probably not thought of yet. For all of these contact the Church Office on (01892) 652081 or email office@allsaintscrowborough.org to volunteer.
And look out for…
During the festival week, we will be updating the web site with details of what is going on and also our roving reporter will be taking snapshots of the events which we will post here in a picture gallery. Make sure you come back here often to stay up to date with what is happening.
