Christ Church Manchester News- 11th March 2010

As I am sure you are aware I run a Sunday evening meeting in Fallowfield which is called The Chapel. The aim of this meeting is to try and reach out into the student and 18 - 30s population of Manchester.

Anyways, since Christmas running this meeting has been more difficult than pushing jelly up a hill and I was beginning to wonder whether it was ever going to work (which is stupid because we have only been going 6 months and how many church plants get themselves up and running within 6 months?). We had been averaging 14/15 people a week and on valentines day there were 6 of us. 6 aint many. In fact, 6 is the opposite of many!

Anways, last week there was 16 of us. The power of God was there and we had a great evening (even with the thumping dance music coming through the floor!). Last night we had 20 people, 8 of those were first time guests. This is very very cool. It seems as though God is doing something.

So I need you guys to pray. We are doing this together, even though most of you have never been to The Chapel. You guys have been very supportive and often ask me how it is going, provided baby sitting so Vix can come along and prayed for us. So pray that this Sunday, our visitors would come back, that we would get some more visitors and that God would show up.

Here is some other news for you -

Small Groups - We run small groups every week in a variety of locations. If you are interested in checking out a few of these groups then email or call me and I will give you details about the different groups.

Alpha - Continues every Wednesday evening. We want people to be added to the Church because they met Jesus and realized that he is the most important person in the history of the Universe. We are getting good numbers every week so lets pray that a few people get saved and added to the church.

Christian Women of Influence - Grace Johnson helps run a Ladies Breakfast. The next one is on 20th March at Trinity Baptist Church. in Gorton [next to Tesco, Hyde Rd]  from 9.00am to 1.00pm.  The guest speaker is Sheila Cochrane who is a missionary to Uganda. It will be a really good time of food, worship and fellowship/networking. If you fancy going along call Grace on 0161 223 9774 or mobile 07824468768 or just turn up on the day [£5.00 entry]
