Sector news

Dear Sectorites,

Greetings!!

Here we are again giving you a gentle reminder that we’re here to connect with in many ways.

We’re carrying on with what we sense The Lord is asking us to do in 2010, ie, rather than us focusing on individual sectors over the next few months, we have started going back to FOUNDATIONS and examining what “The Gospel of The Kingdom” actually is. We feel we need to press into this further.

What are you carrying with you into your workplace or sector?

Can you grasp and articulate "The Gospel of The Kingdom" fully?

We meet again on Wednesday 7th July....same time and place!

Please let us know if you need more details.

Cheers all, we journey on,

Love,

The Sector team

Ps....the next Gen night is -  July 22nd (8pm at Alpha House, Tipton St, Sedgley, DY3 1HE – directions available on request)


 

Leaders Net news

Just a short email to advise you of a venue change for our next Leaders Net gathering on the 7th September 2010.

You may remember we advised you for all this year’s meeting and this one is The Leader & Team Leadership – this will now be hosted by Amblecote Christian Centre, 102-104, Brettell Lane, Amblecote, Stourbridge. DY8 4BS. You will find directions and maps on their website www.amblecotechristiancentre.org.uk and click the ‘Contact’ tab.

Here is what the Core Vision Team say about the session: - A challenge every leader faces is to build a leadership team that recognises gifting and calling whilst at the same time developing strong account for relationships. In this session will explore how team can be built and will include some practical examples of how team can be developed.

Hope to see you all there and if you want to book in you can; email me or call me on the number below.

Blessings,

John Whitehouse.

GENnet Kids Weekend

Hi,

I’ve enclosed details of our weekend away for children which will take place on Friday 17th-Sunday 19th September 2010.

It is for children who are currently in School Yrs 3-6 (2009-2010 school yr).

It is £45 and includes accommodation, food and plenty of activities. Last year we had over 100 on the weekend and it sold out.

We are expecting it to be extremely popular again this year, so book in early to avoid any disappointment.

We do have the extra facility of camping this year which is at a cheaper rate of £25- you would need to provide tents and sleeping equipment but all food and activities are included.

Please read through the attached information and if we can provide any more information, please contact Phil at philmiles@junction10.com

Looking forward to a great weekend

Kind Regards

Phil Miles

Local Church Local School

A number of churches across the UK are asking questions about how to relate to local primary schools. The new Local Church, Local School website at www.localchurchlocalschool.org.uk is the result of collaboration by a number of organizations including BRF, The Stapleford Centre, The Girls' Brigade, Viz a Viz and Scripture Union, and aims to provide practical and varied suggestions on how churches can engage with primary schools. The site also provides information for schools so that they can understand how churches operate and the kind of contributions they can make. Do visit the website and pass the web address onto those in your church with an interest in children's and youth ministry, your church council or church leadership team.

Christians Against Poverty

Dear fellow church leaders,

 As you may know we partner with Christians Against Poverty to run our debt counselling centre in our church.

They are looking for more churches to partner with them. Please can you take a couple of minutes to watch this short clip and see if it is something you as a church could do or if you know of another church you could forward this to.

http://www.capuk.org/involved/churchpartnership.php

CAP is a great way to care for the poorest, lonely and maginalised in our towns and to be tell them the good news from a place of relationship.  


CAP get calls from people all over the UK who are asking for help but they do have to turn people away as they don’t have centres in those towns. Will you consider going on one of their church partnership days? It’s a great inspiring day  in Bradford and the dates of future ones are below:

15 July
8 Sept

Thank you.
