Route One Update September 2010

Hello and welcome to the Route One September update. Please take a few minutes to read this update and pray for the events which are coming up. One thing we can be sure of is that prayer is key to everything we do. 

Will you join with us to see the church in our area impact the communities around us?

Below - information is in red, requests for your involvement are in blue and prayer requests are in green

The Bus at Westcliff Free Church

The bus will be parked on the London Road outside Westcliff Free Church from 6pm – 8pm on Saturday the 25th of September. This will be followed by a concert in the church building with the band Taste. Simon will also be speaking at the church on the following morning.

The Saturday event is for young people but open to all. We are putting together a small team to work on the bus at the event (contact Lisa lisafordr1@googlemail.com  if you would like to be involved.) We have already done the training for this event so people who have already worked on Route One would be preferable. But please feel free to use this opportunity to come and see the bus for yourself if you haven’t already.

Please pray for a good turnout for this event. It’s a great opportunity for young people to invite their friends and it would be good to see a mixture of Christian and non Christians coming on the bus.

Christ Our Light mission with St Saviours

St Saviours Westcliff are running a mission week from Sunday 24th – 31st October see- www.christourlight2010.com . As a part of this mission we will be taking the bus along on Tuesday 26th October for the whole day 10am – 9.30pm

In the morning we will be running activities for younger children and also for their parents. In the afternoon the bus will be open to everyone to come and explore and the evening is for teenagers with activities running both in the church building and on the bus.

Please consider getting involved with this day. We already have people signed up from St Saviours but the church are happy for us to add others to this team. Training will take place on the evening of Thursday 21st October at St Saviours. Again please contact Lisa lisafordr1@googlemail.com  if you would like to be involved. 

This will also be another opportunity to see the bus and the exhibition so feel free to come down in the afternoon. We will be positioned on Kings Road outside the St Saviours church.

Please pray for the whole week that it will be successful in connecting with the local community and the church will see loads of folk come along to all the activities. Please pray for the activities on the bus and for life changing conversations with folks.

We also have other events in the pipeline so keep an eye on the website. Please pray for more doors to open into schools and for churches be able to grow their relationships and involvement in local secondary schools.

Thank you for your support and prayers. We also pray for you as part of the church in South East Essex that whenever you open your mouth, words may be given you so that you will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel  (taken from Ephesians 6:19)
