CHURCH WEEKEND AWAY
22nd - 24th June
We’d love everyone to come to the lovely Belsey Bridge Conference Centre to help build our community in Christ. This is a special biannual time away to build up our church; it is a time for all ages and families. Your presence is important so the PCC underwrites the cost, even though we hope most will be able to contribute to the costs.
We look forward to having Bob and Jackie Payne with us. Bob spent time in industry and teaching physics before being ordained in 1979. He has ministered in several parishes and was also Warden of Lee Abbey - an Internationalcommunity and conference centre for 8 years. He is married to Jackie and they have four daughters and ten grandchildren. Bob and Jackie love to encourage others in their faith and walk with God – “we look forward very much to being with you for this weekend”

Paul said “John’s baptism was a baptism of repentance; he told the people to believe in the one coming after him, that is, in Jesus.” On hearing this they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. When Paul placed his hands on them the Holy Spirit came on them and they spoke in tongues and prophesied
