W.C.C has just walked away from a thrilling ministry week called 'A time of refreshing 2010'. It was the 3rd annual conference we've hosted here and this one was a 'rippa' as the Auzzies put it. Did we walk away unscathed? I hope not! in fact, anyone who came that left unaffected would raise a suspicious eyebrow from me I can tell you! The ministry was direct...it was uplifting, encouraging, confrontational, mellow, full-on, quiet, loud, short, long, blue and red! We had fantastic fellowship and great time of worship. The laughs were worth the 12 month wait and everybody that attended made a difference!
If you would like to come next time, keep an eye on the website (http://www.wccbournemouth.co.uk/) and the info will be up by the Autumn this year God willing.
In regards to St.Peter's Hall, we are still trying to and believing God that we can buy it. It has been under offer now for 2 months. It should have completed a month ago but as yet we have heard nothing and the 'under offer' sign has again disappeared. And so we wait. It's exactly what The Lord warned us would happen so there's no surprise.
I would like to ask yo to pray for The Malan Family. They are missionaries in India and are having a greatly difficult time right now...amid great blessing actually, which may seem a contradiction but actually isn't. Take a look at their site http://www.mission-india.org/ and please, continue to or determine to pray for them every day. God bless you for your support.
Yeah, I know, I know, it's been too long since the last WCC blog! My fault! I acknowledge it fully! :-) Well then, coming up at WCC is an performance by our Children's group that will not be forgotten in a hurry. It's only 8 minutes long but we think it will have people on the edge of their seats! not to mention, rejoicing in our God and the victory He's won. In May, we will be hosting the third annual 'Time of refreshing' ministry week right here at WCC. Book in now (for free). It takes place between Sun May 30th and Sun June 6th. Various speakers from around the country will minister the Word of God and we will have loads of fellowship and Worship at the same time. Free to attend, free to register...or just turn up on the door. You can see more info by going here - http://www.wccbournemouth.co.uk/ Here's a video taster from TOR2009.
Ok, in other news, St.Peter's hall has finally sold to a developer in Bournemouth. He wants to turn it into a small shopping centre, flats and a restaurant. Now does this mean that our vision is dead or must now be thrown out...no! We believe that God told us that this would happen and that we must stand fast in faith and see what God would do. The planning permission hasn't gone through yet, so it may not...the completion of the sale may fall aprt...who knows...but right now, we go back to the waiting game. We knew it wouldn't come quickly or easily, but that God would fight the battle. We have no money...we have no businessmen or millionaires in the Church...just faith in God that we can make a difference with Him in this town.
Julian and Sarah have just given birth to their third Child...a boy called Joseph which we give the praise for and in just 5 weeks, Abi and Richard Jones will be welcoming their lastest addition to their family and the Church. On top of that, Ryan and Jontey Wylie have just announced that they are expecting their first child. As Pastor Brian puts it "we will grow this church one way or the other"
IN August this year, we will have our very first full length Biblez 'N' Bikez camp which will take place at The IBTI bible college in Burgess Hill, sussex. We can't wait to see what God will do in the lives of our precious children. It's very hard in this financial climate to come up with the cash for a camp like this and some of our kids are even paying for themselves to go! amazing!
Lastly, we're very excited to announce the release of a brand new album entitled :- 'Keez&Jooz kid'z praize adventure no.1'. It's a kid'z album of course but for all the family! It's taken 12 months to produce and record and is an 'experince' not just some CD of some kind. It has 10 songs on the CD but 22 tracks, that's because we visit a lot of different places, Keez, Joo and the Biblez'N'Bikez gang. You can pre order yours now by contacting the Church through the website. It costs £7.00 for the regular CD or £10 for a backing track split track version for you to use with your kid's group to perform live or in Sunday school. We also have a website which is under construction just now where you can meet the gang, join the gang...get free stuff, buy a t-shirt etc. can't wait to see who joins up and who thinks they can 'out-perform' Keez&Jooz!. The Disc is at the factory right now being made...more info soon.
