Vision Sunday: 3 day to go!
With only three days to go till our Vision Sunday I’m very, very excited! Last night we had a good evening with our excellent small group leaders as we shared with them the vision. It was a great time and there was a clear sense of God’s presence with us.
As part of my preparation for Sunday I’ve been mediating afresh on Acts 2:42-47. These are glorious verses, which feel like a ‘fly on the wall’ account of those early days of the church in Jerusalem. Why not read these verses again in preparation for Sunday!
42 And athey devoted themselves to the apostles’ bteaching and the cfellowship, to dthe breaking of bread and the prayers. 43 And awe4 came upon every soul, and emany wonders and signs were being done through the apostles. 44 And all who believed were together and fhad all things in common. 45 And fthey were selling their possessions and belongings and distributing the proceeds to all, as any had need. 46 And day by day, gattending the temple htogether and ibreaking bread in their homes, they received their food jwith glad and generous hearts, 47 praising God and khaving favor with all the people. And the Lord ladded to their number mday by day those who nwere being saved. [1]

Elders Away Day
I’ve spent today preparing for our forthcoming elders away day (10th April). I’m really excited about all that God is doing amongst us and I’m sure our away day will be a fruitful and significant time!

A Reasoned Faith – Easter Sunday
Richard Dawkins, the author of ‘The God Delusion’ is famously recorded as saying:
“Faith is the great cop-out, the great excuse to evade the need to think and evaluate evidence. Faith is belief in spite of, even perhaps because of, the lack of evidence.”
Is Richard Dawkins right? Is faith just ‘the blind leading the blind’ or a ‘great leap in the dark’ or using Dawkins phrase the great human ‘cop-out’?
On Easter Sunday we will be exploring the evidences or proofs for the actual bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ. Please come and join us!
Time: 10:30am
Venue: Nene Family Church, Church Centre, Fletton Avenue, Peterborough.

Vision Sunday
On Sunday 9th May 2010 the leadership team at Nene Family Church want the whole church to be together for a day (10am – 3:30pm) so that we can share with in some detail the fresh and exciting vision that we believe God has given us for the church and some substantial changes that we will need to work through over the coming months. I cannot overstate the significance of this meeting! I suspect that in five or even ten years time we will be looking back on the 9th May 2010 as a truly momentous day in the life of the church. If your part of Nene Family Church or considering moving and joining us, can I encourage you to make this an absolute priority!
Children: As this is such a significant moment in the life of the church, Les and Alison Howard are going to be organising a day of fun activities for crèche, pre-school and primary aged children. Les and Alison are hoping to be supported by a team of experienced and CRB checked helpers from other local Newfrontiers churches enabling our own dedicated children’s workers to be freed up to fully participate in the vision day.
What do I need to do now?
Please can you book in ASAP by contacting Jaki Bellamy in the church office:
