Tom Elliott is a stand-up comedian with a difference . . .he is also a magician. Seamlessly weaving in comedy and jokes with his magic show, Tom delighted the After Hours audience. From very funny ventriloquism with audience participation to escaping from a straitjacket as well as the obligatory card trick and some close-up magic, Tom Elliott did a great job! (You could tell by the number of people in the audience who were recording his tricks on their mobile phones!)
Tom stood in for the acclaimed comedian Tony Vino at short notice who was unfortunately stuck on a boat somewhere between Lisbon and Bristol! - Thanks Tom.
So a group from our church got back from Spring Harvest 2015 at Skegness on Friday. It was a time of spiritual refreshing, awesome moves of God's Spirit, anointed worship, in depth teaching and a time of good fellowship and fun! I am sure you will hear more about it at church on Sunday. If you want to come along to Spring Harvest 2016 the theme is 'Game Changers' and it is set to be another great week!
Watch the video taken earlier today during the Wisbech Churches Together Good Friday Walk of Witness that went through the town this morning. It began with a short service with a hymn and a prayer at the URC and then the procession began at the War Memorial in the Crescent. The walk then went past Wisbech Library and on to St Peter's gardens. From there it proceeded up past Beals department store, past the Empire and stopped again in front of Argos in the Horse Fair. It continued up the Horse Fair high street and paused outside Wisbech Baptist Church. From there the procession curved round Hill Street and ended in the Market Place where more hymns and readings were sung and read together.
It was a powerful display of unity amongst the churches in Wisbech as well as a positive witness to the people in the town who stopped to watch, or even join in.
A new Sunday evening service was launched yesterday in the church rooms in Octavia View. 'Quiet Space' which is run and organised by Becky, creates an environment and atmosphere conducive to meditation and contemplation. With mood lighting, flickering candles and soothing music spending time in God's presence in the quiet and stillness is a beautiful and uplifting experience. For those who do not just want so sit quietly the whole time, there are a variety of prayer stations that you can engage with and use to help guide your prayers and thoughts. Quiet Space will be back again in 2 o months time. Next month we see the return of the Taize service, so don't miss it.
Recent videos of sermons as well as a word in tongues (above) and some fun with the puppeteers have recently been uploaded to YouTube. You can now watch them on the 'Video' page of our website or on our YouTube channel.
