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.

Jon Kendall plays at After Hours

Musician, Jon Kendall travelled up from Milton Keynes to play at After Hours Live on Friday. His charismatic enthusiasm blended wonderfully with his acoustic musical talents. He sung a mixture of cover songs as well as some originals, including a new song he had written about the work of the charity 'Compassion'.

After Hours Live now takes a Christmas break and will be back in early February 2016. Please watch the After Hours Live website www.afterhourslive.org.uk for more information and the latest updates.

Have a blessed Christmas!

After Hours Live with Rachel-Yvonne

Rachel-Yvonne, a member of the recent X-Factor group Melody Stone, graced the After Hours Live stage on Friday accompanied by her very able guitarist Phil. She sang a mixture of covers ranging from Whitney Houston to Bob Marley with a bit of Bruno Mars and Rhianna in between. Interlaced between the songs were stories of Rachel's recent X-Factor experiences as well as the journey of her life. Some of the songs were given a special twist where one or two lyrics had been altered to give them the After Hours Live 'twist of faith'. Rachel spoke about her faith in Jesus and how we should be seeking to find our identity in him, not in other things.

A good number of people braved the weather and dodged the fireworks to attend. This After Hours Live was the first time we had teamed-up with another local organisation. This month we joined forces with Wisbech Churches Together in order to raise funds for those caught up in the refugee crisis in Europe. Thanks to the generous giving of the audience we raised a total of £80.60 which will be given to Christian Aid. Thank you to all who gave.

On Friday 4 December we welcome Jon Kendall who will be getting us in the festive mood as well as playing some of his favourite songs. Please visit the After Hours Live website for more information.
