It was great to welcome Simon and DoraMaria back in the evening for wonderful worship and inspiriing  consideration of the way Jesus deals with the mute spirit  in Luke 11.

yesterday morning 28 June

Thanks so much to Temi and Melchi who spoke to a record number of people at the early service yesterday. We than had an all age servcie - see pic below - looking at the temple 'building' and 'body' pictures of the church, in Ephesians.

building with Bananas

Actually they are apples & pears because bananas would have been even harder - but that was the title of a book about this subject by Derek & Nancy Copley about 30 years ago. So no, the idea wasn't original (nothing new under the sun) but it made the point.

mens breakfast - 4th July

Our next mens breakfast is Saturday 4th July 8.30 - 10.30. These are great times of eating a hearty (why is it called that when it so bad for the heart?) full English breakfast, some worship and prayer for each other. All in a spiritual but laid back atmosphere of fun and genuine fellowship. All men over 16 welcome - please sign in by contacting us or leaving a comment - or putting you name on the sheet at the back of the church

communication questionnaire

In a brave effort to improve our communication we have produced a simple questionnaire. We've had loads of responses so far but the deadline is the end of June please. If you havent completed it you can get it here Download Comm Questionnaire
When you have done please email it to neil @ kingsland.org.uk (please take the 2 spaces out if you copy and paste this version of the address - they have been put in to stop auto-readers sending even more piles of junk mail) 

Levites

Wow! Only one more to go!  Psalm drummers were great on Monday.  Thank you Dan, Michelle and team for all you brought. It was great to hear from the drummers perspective: communication - attitude - discipline, wonderful!  It was good to pray for the town too, we made a good sound calling the lost back to Father.  Did anyone notice anything strange with the lights? No? OK, must've been me!

Next Monday night Simon Rennie from York will be coming to teach from a "church Leaders perspective" hopefully it will answer some of those questions about the Worship team/Leadership relationship.
We're also hoping to see what the dance worshops have been up to over the last few weeks - should be good!

Thanks again for everyone who has been to these evenings in 2009. It has, without question, been the best attended ever.  We hope you have been blessed by it all.

Look forward to seeing you all on Monday.  Don't forget we're in the new building this time.

PS the levites discussion board is here

At the early service on Sunday Melchi and Temi wil be speaking as part of the 'All together now' series. The second service will be an all age event, again in this series looking at the church as a body, bride and a building hosting the presence of the Lord. Should be a lot of fun
