Christ Church Manchester News - 15th March 2010

I hope you enjoyed your weekend. I spent most of the weekend trying to convince Abi (my 3 year old) to stop playing "Happy Day" on her new guitar. I have spent the 1st three years of her life faithfully discipling her in The Clash, Bruce Springsteen, The Beastie Boys, The Bronx and all manner of other "Punk and alternative" bands. So what happens when I buy her a guitar for her birthday? She starts playing Matt Redman. Gutted.

Anyhoo, you want some punktastic news? Yeah you do.

Food - On March 28th we will have our second after church party. The format is simple. You all bring food, we all eat the food, the kids watch a film, the teenagers play on the Wii and everyone else just hangs out. There will be no surprise sermons, prayer meetings, worship times and Colin will be bound and gagged so he doesnt start announcing stuff. Simples.

More food -  Ed is a strange guy with a fantastic wife. Anyways, Ed has a cunning plan.This plan involves food. His plan is simple. He wants everybody in CCM to have dinner with people they don’t know. Interested? Talk to Ed on Sunday and he will match you up with a bunch of other people and organize dinner for you (6 people maximum). Sound like your worst nightmare? Do it anyways. There are a lot of very good people in this church, and many of them are fantastic cooks! (Participation is not compulsory)

Colin - Believe it or not Colin is actually in Croydon this week. Croydon is just outside St. Petersburg. Possibly.

Child Protection - Graham “The Legend” Harrop is running a child protection course. There will be 2 sessions - March 21st and 28th, 7- 9pm. Contact Graham for further info.
