Spiritual Formation Seminar

Thanks to Robyn Johnstone who ran the Spiritual Formation Seminar on Saturday in the new church rooms to the side of the Queen Mary Centre. Around 20 people attended the seminar and learnt about how we are more 'spirit' than we are 'physical body' so therefore it is important to take the time to nurture and grow our spirit. The seminar looked at a deeper understanding of this concept as well as offering suggestions and tools as to how we go about doing this.

By tyring to build up our spirit, by engaging more with Jesus and opening up or lives to respond to Him, this will help us become more spiritually mature in Christ, which is the core of the vision of The King's Church, Wisbech: 'That we may presenting everyone mature in Christ'.

Part of the discussion was about the possibilities of going on a retreat. This is a very real possibility and anyone who would like to take part on a day retreat (or possibly a 2 day retreat with a 1 night stay), please contact the church office for more information.

Poetry Book launched at After Hours Live Open-Mic Night

Fiona Lankfer reading her poems at After Hours Live

January saw After Hours Live get a fabuolus start for 2014 with the ever popular After Hours Poetry Open-Mic night. This saw several poets and lovers of poetry read poems they had either written themselves or just simply love to read (even if written / published by others). The evening had an added bonus in that it was also the launch event of the new After Hours Live: Little Book of Poetry. Local poets who have read at After Hours events in the past contributed to the book which contains 21 poems that cover a variety of themes, and some with a twist of faith.

The book will be available for purchase at the price of £4 at all After Hours Live events this year. Profits go towards the running costs of After Hours Live.

 There is a fantastic line-up of artists for 2014 who will be appearing as apecial guests at After Hours. Among them are Noel & Tricia Richards, Daughters of Davis, Henry Olonga and South African Stand-up Comedian Mark Palmer. Visit the After Hours website for more information or pick up a 2014 'Artist Line Up' card at Octavia's Cafe to keep informed of who is playing/appearing when.

New Year's Eve

 

Thanks to all those who came and joined in with the Church's New Year's Eve celebrations at the Queen Mary Centre in Wisbech. We had a fabulous time. There was a massive bring-and-share banquet followed by some line dancing and karaoke, while board games and video games were being played in the church rooms.

Half-and-hour before the strike of twelve-o'clock we got together and thanked God for the year that had passed as well as dedicating the future year to Him. We shared in communion together and then at midnight sang Auld Langs Eyne together.

It was a special time. Thanks for joining in and helping to make it special.

 

The 12 Days of Christmas

Although the big day is still just around the corner, our church had a get-together in the lovely Octavia's Cafe last Sunday where we had a 'Cafe Church' service, followed by an amazing bring-and-share lunch. The event was complete with Christmas crackers, paper hats and traditional carols.

Clive took the opportunity to talk about one of the 'silly' songs we sung and explained that the song had a deeper significance than we may first think. So why not dive into the depths of 'The 12 Days of Christmas' by clicking on the video link above?

Merry Christmas!
