Last night we unveiled the new Logo for Life Church (Formally Nene Family Church). Below are a few concept designs of the logo in use. A huge thanks to Jon Mullender of follow for coming up with such an amazing design for us as a church!
We are looking to officially change the name and identity over at the end of July.
Tomorrow (30.05.2010) I’m preaching at Nene Family Church on the second of our purpose statements- ‘we exist to disciple people’. We would love you to join us!
Check out this new video that a guy in our church has put together to promote our new sermon series…
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]

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.
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:

God has always had the ends of the earth in his heart. It is a too small a thing to just be concerned about Peterborough or even Peterborough and the surrounding area. God has called us to play our part in seeing the nations transformed by the planting of glorious gospel-centred churches across the nations!
Come and join the adventure as we look to get caught up in apostolically led church planting mission into other nations!
