When  : Sunday 12th September at 7:00 pm

Where : Parish Centre

It may be the summer, as I remembered again today in the sun!,  but worship etc continues at 7:00 pm every Sunday (pun unintentional, but now that I’ve noticed, it’s staying!). The format is a little different; we have a time of praising God together, then we watch a dvd and talk in groups about what was said. There’s time for coffee or tea, and prayer for each other about stuff we’re facing or thankful for. There’s a feeling of community and space for honesty, encouragement and challenge. So feel free to join us in the Parish Centre tomorrow evening.

I’ve attached news of SNATCH – its a summer outreach week co-ordinated by Holywood Youth Trust, so Katy P has news of what’s going on and how you can be involved in mission in our town – check out the PDF along with this e-mail.

Back on our website, you’ll find videos, reports and new from Summer Madness, last month, many photos of summer events and a special guest interview. If you haven’t had a look in a while, click or tap your way to http://www.holywoodparishchurch.co.uk/ and browse the Connect and Resources sections. There’s also news of more events coming up.

That’s it for now, see you soon.

This Saturday is a worship and prayer night at St. Philip and St. James, with an emphasis on intimacy, intercession and interaction. Come and encounter God. Embrace the proximity of the transcendant God; His love for individuals, the church, the world, the universe; revealed through the Cross. A space where the needs of individuals, the church, the world can be considered and where all kinds of prayer can be facilitated and offered up to God. A place for more than songs, as visual imagery, physical activity and a variety of creative elements increase the opportunity for inspiration and provide a welcome alternative to passivity.

You choose how much you would like to engage with what’s going on. You can join us for five minutes or two hours, as you prefer.

There’ll be chairs, bean bags, carpet, post-it notes, thought-provoking objects and images, stories, prayer pointers and a wonderful atmosphere that we hope will usher the presence of God into the lives of all those who enter. Maybe you could bring a Bible and spend some time journalling, or reading and praying from your daily devotions, or simply coming and being still for a while, soaking in the glow.
