B2CS 2008 T-Shirts

You ask, we listen (sometimes!)
By popular demand, please find this Years Back to Church Sunday T-Shirt modelled slightly more glamorously than my filing cabinet could manage!




Choose any comments over the model very carefully; she's my 'baby' sister!

Soul Purpose 08

3 posts in one day - I'm flying!
A re-entry for Mark Salmon, this time at the Church of the Holy Spirit bringing 110+ kids, 50-60 Adult helpers from 15+ churches in the Shrewsbury area together for a weekend of worship, work, fun fellowship & food.
Cheers Mark
(And other people are actually allowed to give me material as well!)

Build it and they shall come

Woh - two posts in one afternoon - I'm flying!
George and I each spent a day helping out in this tent at the Stafford Show on the 28th & 29th May.
As you'll see from the weather, George had a rainy day, whereas my day had glorious sunshine. Chalk one this time for the monkey, not the organ grinder!

We were offering free refreshments to the weary punters, with various interesting (hopefully) prayer stations, clowns, giant Jengas and Connect 4s all thrown in. We got to speak to an awful lot of people,

The weather helped us both really - on the Wednesday people came in to get out the rain, on the Thursday they did to get out the hot sun.

Hard work at times, but if a few people went away thinking positive things about Christians, and most importantly, Christ, it had to be worth it!

Annoy you all soon!

Back to Church Sunday 2008

Are you ready? Are you excited?
Are you a small Australasian Marsupial with unnecessarily large ears?
If the answer to all these is Yes, I'm astonished.
A load of our materials have arrived this week - don't the T-shirts look cool?

Hello readers!

Did you think we'd forgotten you?
There's some great images here from The Holy Spirit Church in Harlescott (Shrewsbury-ish!)
It looks like the poor vicar Mark Salmon's got his hands full!
They're taken from their weekly 'Sunbeams' service, aiming to give both a meaningful act of worship for toddlers and also the chance to play with toys for their carers! Ahem.
Seriously, we know of a lot of churches around the diocese offering midweek toddlers services in various forms, but Harlescott's just about the one with the highest numbers we've been told about - and definitely the one with the best photos!

Here's the link to their 'A Church Near You' page...

As I said, we know of quite a few other churches doing similar, so if you're looking for another 'Tots Service', thinking of trying it yourself, or want to show off one you've already got - just buzz me!
