Guys – there is still time for you to register for the MANuscript Summer Bible School!!!

Starting on Thursday 5th August, Pastor Steve will be leading discussion and study based on 1 Peter throughout the whole of August. The classes will be held at the Church every Thursday evening from 8pm – 9:30pm and the cost is… £0.00 that’s right – this Summer Bible School is FREE!

Come and find out what it means for a man of God in the 21st Century to be “Living Right in  a Wrong World”

A reminder to all those in their 20’s who thought they might come down to the July meeting next week… there is NO 20-Something this month! There will a social event in August to Alton Towers instead!

Why not bring the children, bring the grandparents, bring the neighbours and join with the family of City Gates as we spend some time together in the Summer Sunshine.

There are activities for the children: bouncy castles, assault courses, ball games – for both the children & the adults, a safari ride (for an extra £2) plus a BBQ and refreshments. There is so much to do, so many people to meet you will have a great day out!

Tickets are available (payable by card over the phone):

Family tickets (2 adults & 2 children) – £20

Children (aged 4-12years) – £5

Adults (aged 13+) – £7

The cost will increase should you choose to purchase your ticket on the day:

Adults (aged 13+) – £9

Children (aged 4-12years) – £6

Family tickets are not available on the gate

So… grab the sun cream, and come down to Woodlands Camp, Manor Road, Lambourne End, RM4 1NB, from 1pm – 9pm.

See you there!!

This is a project which has been years in the making – as they have sown into the lives and ministries of others, now the Lord is releasing them into a new dimension of Praise and Worship! The focus being not on what they can gain from the profit of sales, but where further they can sow with the donations given for the album. The album itself is FREE-OF-CHARGE!

“Living Waters – Seeds for Change” has been distributed free of charge to the Chinese Church Community and has encouraged and blessed many of our brothers and sisters in the Underground Churches of China… so as you listen to the songs, ask of the Lord to increase in you and place within us “Seeds for Change” wherever He may want us to deposit them!

The Open Doors Great Big Tea Party runs throughout the Country, with events being hosted by many Christians simultaneously, this weekend, to help raise awareness of persecuted Christians, raising support to help them stand strong in the face of the persecution.

The focus of this year’s event will be Iran, second on Open Door’s list of countries where persecution is the worst. In 2009 in Iran, at least 85 Christians were arrested and a number of house churches closed. Despite this the church is growing and the support you raise will be sent to help oppressed Christians in Iran.

Up and down the country, Great Big Tea Parties take place in homes and gardens, churches and schools, village greens or coffee shops!

You will have an opportunity to purchase cakes & drinks, write letters of encouragement to persecuted Christians, and pray for specific countries where Persecution of Christians is highest.

Watch the Video from Open Doors and find out more about what the Tea Party will do for our brothers and sisters around the world. Then come and join us at the Open Doors Great Big Tea Party!
