Christian Vision for Men: The 4th Sunday will soon be here again, so that means CVM will be meeting once again at The Green Man in Colne 7.30-9pm on Sunday 27th May. The subject of this session is Honour, as we examine the following Code for Christian men:

'I will not cheat in anything, personal or professional.'

Everyone is busy, and time is precious, but we hope you will make a priority of this evening, just once a month. The investment will be worthwhile. CVM: a group for men who want to live life to its fullest and best.

Christian Vision for Men - CVM@BBC – THIS Sunday 22nd April, 7.30pm at The Green Man, Colne. We hope that you will come along – especially if you don’t currently belong to a home group, or don’t manage to get to Sunday services as often as you would like, for whatever reason. But even if you DO manage those things, our intention is for this group to be a great, encouraging get-together for Christian men; to set us up for living life to its fullest and best, every day of the week.

Men want to be part of a ‘Band of Brothers’, encouraging each other and setting each other a great example of what following Jesus means. That’s what this is all about. It’s good fun, and it’s useful. Everyone is busy, and time is precious, but we hope you will make a priority of this evening, just once a month. The investment will be worthwhile. Come and give it a go.

We’ll be looking at the second Code from CVM’s Codelife: ‘I owe everything to Him. I’ll do anything for Him’ , along with banter and great company. All men welcome. Be there! For more details speak to Dan Horrex or Nick.

Bluntisham Does Sport Relief

Tue, 06 Mar 2012 17:05:18 GMT

On Sunday 25th March Bluntisham is hosting its first local version of the charity sport event The Sport Relief Mile. Our members Steve and Marion Foreman are organising the local run, which is linked to the national event and so will be starting at 10am on the Sunday morning at Bluntisham Recreation Ground. The hope is that lots of local people will take part. Rather than make people choose whether to join in or whether to come to church, we have decided to make it possible to do both! On the day our service will begin 15 minutes later than usual at 10.45. The Deacons are encouraging as many as would like to, to get involved in this great community event. Alternatively, go along and cheer on those doing the running.

How to share your faith in an alien world

Tue, 06 Mar 2012 17:05:02 GMT

On Saturday 24th March, incoming Baptist Union President Chris Duffett is coming to Willingham Baptist Church. At 10am-12 noon he will be presenting an evangelism workshop 'How to share your faith in an alien world'. Chris has a truly original, inspiring, down to earth and accessible approach to faith sharing, and this is a terrific opportunity to get inspired. He recently led a workshop for BMS which was attended by our own Malcolm and Sue White, and they will say it was something they will never, ever forget! If you want to get better at sharing your faith, this will be two hours very well spent.

Holiday Bible Club is one of the biggest and most significant annual events in the life of our churches. Each year around 100 children, many with no church background, come together and learn about the Christian faith in a fun, safe, encouraging environment. It’s a great, positive experience for them. This year’s club is called Mission Rescue, and follows the story of Moses in Egypt

Holiday Bible Club is run by a large team of volunteers, young, old and in between, from across the local churches, and without these volunteers it wouldn’t happen. We need you! Can you spare some time this year? For more details click here
