Midweek service – Weds 8th May

There will be a warm welcome for you at the midweek service next Wednesday. David M will bring the Word from Eph 4:21-5:7 and there will be refreshments afterwards.

Rudloe Community Centre

We are delighted to report that Church Members voted overwhelmingly in favour of proceeding with the Rudloe Community Centre project at our Church meeting on Monday. We’ll keep you informed of developments as we go forward trusting our heavenly Father to provide the resources we need. Please prayerfully consider how you can support this huge outreach opportunity. We will need, in the following order, your involvement in:

• Prayer for all the practicalities in getting the Centre ready and for the outreach ministries which are planned to start in the coming months. Also, that God will be going before us to prepare hearts to receive the Gospel!
• Volunteers to join decorating teams to bring the Centre to life again. Anything from a couple of hours to a regular contribution will be welcome. If you can help, please speak to our Facilitation leaders – Jonny Street or John Godwin.
• Financial contributions, particularly an increase in monthly giving. An average increase of £15-£20 per month per member will provide what is needed. Some maybe can give more, some less. Please do not feel under pressure. Pledge forms will be available soon, or you can drop Tom L an email on toml@corshambaptists.org.
• Volunteers to help with a second Souper Friday at Rudloe (speak to Colin Whiting) or Toddlers or Youth outreach (speak to Alan Christie or Dan Ovens respectively).
• People to drop in when the Centre is open to chat to people. No need to “sign up” – just come!
