Congratulations Mr & Mrs Bunday!

As well as sharing in your special day, it was a great opportunity to share the good news of Jesus Christ with your family, friends and work colleges!

A privilege to share in this special day and take the service for Scott & Naomi – A bit of advice from – Jane Wells (1886):

“Let your love be stronger than your hate or anger.
Learn the wisdom of compromise, for it is better to bend a little than to break.
Believe the best rather than the worst.
People have a way of living up or down to your opinion of them.
Remember that true friendship is the basis for any lasting relationship. The person you choose to marry is deserving of the courtesies and kindnesses you bestow on your friends.
Please hand this down to your children and children’s children: The more things change the more they are the same.”

The BBQ in the Woods! A great way to end this years series of monthly events for men. 36 men enjoyed some of Andy Payne’s special kebabs (squirrel, chicken, ostrich, beef, rabbit, pork and who knows what else?) as well as some of the Titchfield Butchers special sausages.
Thanks also to Bob Telford for a challenging talk around the fire, it was good to see a number of men responding to the invitation to follow Christ! A good night to finish off a good series of events – ‘The Net’ will start again in November!

Always a pleasure and a privilege to visit local schools and take assemblies.

Today was the juniors and Friday morning will be the seniors at Meoncross Private School. Stubbington..
Please pray that the impression made will be positive and the content of the assembly will be helpful to both staff and pupils.

Minibus 1 loaded and heading off to Bournemouth – The 2016 ‘BodyBuilders’ Houseparty starts this evening!

What is it?
‘BodyBuilders’ houseparties are packed with interest and provide excellent value for money. Campers are given the opportunity to explore new places, meet new friends, and take part in exciting activities!

Organised Houseparty activities include sports and games sessions, plus trips into the New Forest, a jaunt to the beach and a splash in a nearby swimming pool.

During ‘free time’ campers can just ‘chill out’ or use the onsite facilities e.g. table-tennis, badminton, table-football and a variety of board games.

Note: The Houseparty is Christian based. That means that each day all campers take part in various forms of Bible study and prayer. The main learning time takes place in an action packed, fast paced programme called ‘T.G.S.’ (The God Slot).

This event includes singing, quizzes, Bible readings, ice-breakers, prayers, fun spots, video clips and a short talk.

‘BodyBuilders’ Houseparty is an inter-church event run by ‘Counties’ Hampshire

A good night at ‘The Net’ (venue: The Queens Head. Titchfield) with special guest Mike Mellor.
Mike shared his dramatic story of how he worked for years in the newspaper and music businesses, during which time he spiralled down into the chaotic life of an alcoholic. After conversations with a work colleague he was dramatically converted to Christianity.
A down-to-earth communicator who left us with plenty to think about and plenty to give thanks for!

Please pray for the unChurched men who came along, that God will speak to them though these events.
