Prophetic Worship Workshop and Evening Service

Angie Lendon, songwriter and worship leader from Revive Church in Hull, travelled down to Wisbech on Saturday to hold a prophetic workshop with our church band. Everyone was very receptive to what she brought and were stretched to step out in courage and respond to what the Holy Spirit was doing and where He was leading amongst us. She gave many practical tips and suggestions as well as provided opportunities to put them into practise.

Saturday evening saw our band joining with Angie for an evening of prophetic worship. Here the band flowed from known songs into spontaneous times of singing and playing. Angie also brought some prophetic words and sung over a few people. Someone was also healed when the clarinet was played over them (no words at all!).

On Sunday, when the whole church gathered together, the time of worship was extremely powerful. As the band continued to flow and use what they learnt from the previous day, the congregation responded very well and the Holy Spirit was very evident amongst us.

God is alive and moving powerfully amongst us!

New Song on Sunday

Here is a new song we will be learning in church this Sunday as we celebrate 2016 together. Have a listen.

Contemporary Christmas Carols

The evening of Contemporary Christmas Carols hosted by Wisbech Churches Together with The King's Church, Wisbech in aid of the Refugee Fundraising Appeal happened on Saturday. The Queen Mary Centre in Wisbech came alive with rousing music - some familiar Christmas Carols alongside more contemporary Christmas worship songs which were enjoyed by all. Video clips of the Christmas story set within a modern context punctuated the music. Just before the interval, there was a moment to pause and pray for those caught up in the refugee crisis in Europe with prayer stations to help bring a focus to our prayers.

During the interval there were tea, coffee, mince pies, a variety of items needed in the Calais 'Jungle' Camp in France posted on an Amazon Wish List and some needlework crafts on sale to help raise funds for the appeal. A total of £247.36 was raised at the event that will be shared between the Hope For Calais Amazon wish list and the Christian Aid emergency appeal.

Thank you to everyone who attended.

Messy Church Special Offering

Messy Church Special Offering.

A reminder that this Sunday (tomorrow) we will be having a special offering specifically for the work and ministry of Messy Church that is launching in January 2016. It is hoped Messy Church will be an outreach to families in our community who currently do not go to a church, or know Jesus.

Activities include: tea & coffee; crafts where a Bible theme is explored; a celebration time of teaching, singing and prayer; sharing of a hot meal together. There are also advertising and training costs.

We estimate it will cost £2500 to run Messy Church for a year. So if you are able to contribute in any way it will be greatly appreciated.

Even if you are not wanting to get involved with the running of Messy Church directly, this is the perfect opportunity for you to support this new initiative.

If you are unable to come to church tomorrow, you can give safely online via our website. Just remember to say in the 'donation message' that the donation is for Messy Church: http://www.kingswisbech.org.uk/giving.htm

Thank you.

The Messy Church Team - The King's Church, Wisbech.

New song from today's service

Here is a video of the new song 'When My Heart Is Torn Asunder' that we sung at this morning's service.

We will be learning it with the band and will be singing it again in the coming weeks.

An important song for this time in the life of our church family.

Matt Records Song for UCB TV

On Monday our Worship Leader, Matt McChlery went along to UCB Broadcast Centre in Stoke-on-Trent to record a live acoustic version of my song 'Fingerprints' that is off his latest worship EP 'All Things New'. The TV recording was for UCB Watch and is due to be aired on the 'Faith In Action' chat-show programme in the coming months.

We will let you know when the programme will be aired.

King's Church Musicians at KingsStock Music Festival

A group of musicians from The King's Church, Wisbech and the Salvation Army joined forces on Sunday and played on the main 'Impact' stage at this year's  'KingsStock' Christian Music Festival. Matt McChlery, Joel Fitzsimmons, Matt Kinsey and Clare Kinsey played well-known worship songs which had the KingsStock audience singing along and were a blessing to many who were there.

KingsStock is a Christian music festival that happens every year. It has recently changed location and is now held on the historic Moggerhanger Park country estate in Bedofrdshire.

The Band at Engage Worship Conference

Yesterday (Saturday) seven of our church band members went along to the Engage Worship Day that was help in Luton. It was a fabulous time of engaging with God in different ways which we are not quite familiar with at our church - this opened up a lot of discussion as well as helped those who attended to see worship from a different perspective and to see God from different perspectives. You may begin to see some of the ideas gained from the conference begin to emerge within our church services at The King's Church, Wisbech - as they may help you to engage with God too!

Our gang at the Big Church Day Out 2013

Some of The King's Church Wisbech gang enjoying themselves at the Big Church Day Out 2013

The second bank holiday weekend in May 2013 saw a group of 11 from The King's Church Wisbech pack their tents, sleeping bags, gas cookers and toilet roll into a few cars and head down to Wiston House in West Sussex  for two glorious days of friendship, sunshine and top-quality Christian music!

This was the first time a group from our church had attended the event that is growing from year to year. It features 3 stages that showcase Christian bands from around the world as well as the UK. There is also a fairground, archery, rock-wall climbing and a petting zoo for the kids. Ice-cream vans, a wide variety of food options in the food court, the Tearfund Tea Tent that serves as a music venue as well as a great place for a cream tea on the lawns.

As far as the top-quality Christian music goes, well we were spoilt for choice! Matt Redman, Hillsong Live, Jason Upton, Phil Wickham, Brenton Brown, Dave Bilbrough, Watato Children's Choir, King's Chamber Orchestra, Yazz, Amy Grant, and many more! We had a fantasic time worshipping with thousands of other from around the UK!
