Sunday Services

An evening with Stuart & Lynne Little – Sunday 28th Aug

Stuart and Lynne are members of CBC who have been serving with Mercy Ships since 2018. They are back in the UK for a short visit and you are invited to join us at Priory Street on Sunday evening to hear an update on their ministry and plans for the future and to pray for them. The evening will start at 5pm with refreshments, cake and a chance to chat to Stuart & Lynne, before they lead us in worship and share their news. If you would like to provide cake please leave it in the kitchen on Sunday morning.

Midweek service – Wednesday 31st August

All are welcome to join us at the Midweek service at 2pm on Wednesday, followed by refreshments.

Please also note that the building has been booked for set up on Thursday 1st and a rehearsal on Friday evening. Thank you, Matt & Sue.

Men’s Weekend Away: 16th-18th September

“Keeping in step with the Spirit: the vital role of the Holy Spirit in the life of the believer.”
Steve Lancaster will be opening the Bible to us on this exciting subject! The location is at a lovely spot near Pen y Fan, Wales. There will be teaching, eating, talking and some walking, and lots of fellowship to encourage us in our walk with our dear Lord. The cost will be around £60 with subsidies available, so please don’t let money be an issue for not coming along. The booking link is: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/cbc-mens-weekend-away-tickets-375214987127. For more information please speak to Tom B or Ian H.

Souper Friday Summer Party

Colin reports that the summer party last Saturday was a great success and he and the team received many positive comments from those who attended and enjoyed themselves so much. Huge thanks to all who worked hard behind the scenes and provided wonderful cakes and sandwiches. In the words of Carol G, “Amazing day, hard work but so worth it. How blessed we are that we can share all this.” Amen!

First Aid course – 17th September

First Aid training will be taking place at church on Saturday 17th September from 9am-4pm. If you are a first aider whose training has lapsed, or you’re someone who would like to be trained in order to serve your particular ministry in this way, please email Ruth in the church office to reserve a (free) place.
