Conference: “Working From A Place Of Rest”

Wednesday, March 17th, 2010

Cranleigh Community Church warmly invites you to a seminar day hosted by Tony Horsfall

Saturday 10th April 10.30am to 3.30pm

“Working From A Place Of Rest - Jesus and the key to sustaining ministry”

This day, based on John 4, will look at the ministry style of Jesus as a pattern and model for our own. As we follow his example of interaction with the Samaritan woman, and then the villagers, we will see how it is possible to work both efficiently and effectively without burning ourselves out. This day will be of help to those in full-time ministry, as well as those who have to balance church involvement with the demands of home and work. Come and sit with Jesus by the well and watch him at work. Take some time out to reflect on how you are living and working. And maybe, just maybe, you gain some insights that will change your life and sustain your ministry over the long haul.

Tony Horsfall is an elder at Ackworth Community Church, and a freelance training consultant who specialises in a range of topics, such as cross cultural training, mentoring and in leading retreats. He has an ongoing teaching ministry in countries like Singapore and Malaysia.

Conferences at Cranleigh cost £15 each, including refreshments and lunch. Doors open at 10am for Registration. Please contact Elaine Emmons on07769736634 for details and bookings.

The nationally known Christian music group The Young CONTINENTALS is presenting their new program for 2009 and will be appearing at Cranleigh Community Church on Saturday 15th August 2009 from 7:30pm.

This international group of young people performs contemporary Christian music. Every year The Continentals have a new programme of swinging up-tempo songs, beautiful ballads and traditional gospels. The Continentals are more than an ordinary choir; all the songs are supported by dynamic choreography and colourful light effects. Leading producers, songwriters, composers, choreographers and technical experts create a new programme each year. The Continentals want to be a real inspiration for local visitors, churches and groups.

This year’s brand new production will include new contemporary modern music hand picked by TOP industry professionals! Along with professional choreography and state of the art media, you will see The Young CONTINENTALS as you have never seen them. Churches will be astounded by the professionalism and talent of these young artists, but more than that, you will remember the spiritual impact these young Christians will bring to your community for years to come.

We hold on to HOPE as we step out in faith for the future – where only one thing is definite, Jesus Christ! Invite your entire church to this dynamic event. The concert is free, however, a free will offering will be taken during the concert. CDs, cassettes, and t-shirts will be available for purchase and auditions will be held at the end of the concert.
