Sunday 15 February: Launch Day!

This Sunday, we launched Christ Church Manchester publicly at Hyde Town Hall.

What a great atmosphere it was as we celebrated all God’s done through the last couple of years as East Manchester Family Church and set our eyes on the future together.

Balloons were flying everywhere as Graham led a short time of worship to kick off. Faith then interviewed eight of our people about how and why they came to be part of the church – God has really been doing great things in our lives.  Then Alistair briefly introduced the new website.

Colin preached on the story of Jesus healing the ten lepers (Luke 17:11-19), pointing out particularly that it was only ‘as they went’ that they were cleansed. Sometimes we need to move out in faith even before we see the thing God has promised he will do for us. We’re stepping out in faith every week by being a relatively small church in a big hall, trusting that God is going to grow us to fill it.

To finish, we had a buffet lunch together while the kids enjoyed a movie.
