Christ Church Manchester News - 22nd June 2010

I am back from two weeks of relaxing holiday and I am still tired. "Why are you tired? You have just been on holiday AND you work for the church, you lazy so-and-so" I hear you cry. Well lets just say that Battlestar Galactica is very addictive. Wowzers.

So what been going on? I go away for two weeks and nothing happens! BORING!

Here are some Sci-Fi blasts of News joy -

Sunday Food - This Sunday we are going to hang around after church eat food, put some horrible disney kids film on, and be friends. If you havent been, you should. fact.

Anyways, once again I forgot to organise the food. So please email/text/carrier pigeon me with offers of food. That would be awesome. (Do it now, before you read the rest of this blog) (please)

Prayer Meeting - We are putting on a few prayer meetings because we want CCM to grow. We want it to grow numerically, in discipleship, in mission and in Gods power. So we need to pray.

I heard good things about last weeks prayer meeting. The next prayertastic meeting will be on Saturday July 3rd at 9am. Thats righty people, a prayer meeting at 9am on a Saturday morning!??!!?? Whats wrong with me? Well it is an experiment. It is notoriously difficult to get people to show up at prayer meetings even though they are often the most powerful and important meeting a church can have. So we are doing meetings at a bunch of different times to see what works.

So we next meet to pray on July 3rd 9am at Kingsburn Hall in Burnage (814 Burnage Lane, Burnage, M19 1RS). You maybe thinking that Burnage is a long way from where you live and you are probably correct. However, CCM is so spread out that a meeting anywhere in Greater Manchester will be miles away from someone! Remember, it is an experiement to see what works. Show up and see what it feels like!

Prayer requests - Minan is now out of hospital. The family still need prayer and support. So keep them in your prayers.
Ian Collinge - Ian strained his throat a few months back and it seems to be getting worse. He needs to be able to speak and sing at a number of important events over the summer. Please pray that his throat heals quickly.
Lisa Upton - Lisa has a dodgy back. Recently she has been experiencing sever pain in her back that is quite debilitating. Pray that God straightens and strengthens her spine.

If you are sick, or know someone I have forgotten, please email me and I will let people know.

Anyways, have a cracking week and remember that it is incredibly difficult to chase, catch and kill a mouse with a BBQ fork… (those little monsters can really shift)
