We will be joining churches all over the country in taking part in Back to Church Sunday.

The service will be open and friendly and includes activities for children and young people. If you’ve not been to a Church for a while or haven’t been before, this is the ideal chance to come along. We’d really love to see you!

Find out a bit more about what happens.

Rock, Roger Jones‘ latest musical tells the story of Simon Peter.

Several members of the Church will be taking part as the choir on the night.

So come along for a great night of songs and stories! Tickets are available via The Regal Box Office.

Tim’s Induction Service

will be on Saturday, 10th October 2009 at 2.00pm at MBC.

Each day will be divided into 12 hour slots. Choose an hour in which you undertake to pray, whether at home, walking the dog, etc. There are ‘hour slot’ cards in the vestibule in the Church. If you can’t get here, just do an extra hour – it all helps!

There will also be a Prayer Meeting on Wednesday (2nd from 6.00pm to 7.00pm in the Church Lounge and the Church will be open for silent prayer.

Throughout the week we will be praying for the Church and the local community.

Thanks to Rev Paul Woodcock, the Associate Priest Ambleside with Brathay Chaplain, University of Cumbria for letting us know that it needed to be done!

We will be praying from 7.00 a.m in the morning until 7.00 p.m. in the evening.

Called D2D, short for Dawn to Dusk, it will be like 24/7 prayer only for 12 hours each day for the seven days.

People will pledge to pray for an hour during the week. There are 84 slots to fill. If you’d like to know more, please contact us.

Please come and join us for a very special evening of individual, small group and corporate prayer.

The Evening will focus on four main areas:

1. The life of the Church;
2. The work of the Church;
3. Reaching out;
4. The Community.

The Church will be open for quiet individual prayer between 5.00pm and 7.00pm.

At 7.00pm there will be a time of introduction, praise and worship, reading and a brief talk before we get down to further intercessory prayer.

The last hour (10.00pm to 11.00pm) will also include some worship as well as an opportunity for people to share anything they sensed the Lord may have been saying to us as a Church.

We want this time to be as much about listening to the Lord as sharing our concerns with Him.

The Awards ceremony was held on Tuesday, 2nd December.

The Hope Centre volunteers provide advice and support, as well as hot meals, drinks, bathing and clothes washing facilities.

They also help to make doctors appointments, speak to housing officers and source furniture for those that have made a fresh start in accommodation of their own.

Visitors to the Centre can also take part in constructive activities, such as crafts, games and trips out.

The impact that The Hope Centre has on the Minehead community has been huge. Not only do many of their visitors now enjoy a better quality of life, but the level of calls received by the police in relation to these people has dropped considerably.

This evening is for people interested in exploring more about the Christian faith in an informal setting.

There will be a light supper followed by an introductory DVD entitled: Christianity boring, untrue, irrelevant?
