Soaking Session

Office — Wed, 03 Feb 2010 10:13:38 +0000

Following the positive feedback we have had from the Soaking Service we held on Sunday Evening we have decided to give more opportunity for this ministry within the church. We will be holding further soaking times on the 1^st and 3^rd Sunday of the month at 7.30pm, come and rest in the presence of God, bring pillows and blankets to make yourselves more comfortable.

A “soaking” session is a sort of holy spa experience where you recline on the floor, listen to some super anointed worship music and encounter God in a rather smoochy* way.

It’s a time to relax and receive more of the Holy Spirit:

“If you then …know how to give good gifts to your children how much more will your Heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him.”

So grab whatever you need to get comfy** and come on down to enjoy an hour or so resting in His presence while the Holy Spirit does his Psalm 23 work – restoring your body, soul and spirit.

*yummy, restful, nice, good and, well, smoochy!

** I recommend a pillow/cushion and a blanket. Teddy bear, hot water bottle and bunk beds are optional.

P.S - there will be chairs too for those who can’t get down on the floor easily.

Government Health Warning: Making space for God in your life, could be dangerous. He will fill it!

Conference: “Working From A Place Of Rest”

admin — Tue, 26 Jan 2010 12:43:21 +0000

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

Saturday 10^th 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.

06/12/09 “Blessings & Curses”

admin — Fri, 08 Jan 2010 12:48:23 +0000

Jack’s sermon from Sunday December 6th, 2009.

Jack examines what the Bible tells us about ‘Blessings and Curses or Unblessings’. There are over 600 references to both and so they need our consideration. God is always about bringing us to a place of Blessing but there are many things that can hold back the goodness of God on our lives. This morning we look at both these places and choose to move out from under unblessing and into God’s favour and freedom once again.
