5 on CAP Money Course training day

Yesterday five people from our congregation attended a CAP Money Course training day in Birmingham. The course trained the team in how to run the course: how to help people build a budget; how to use the CAP money management system to stay free from debt; how to point people in the right direction to get extra help and advice if needed; and how to combine practical help with sharing the Christian faith.

Everyone involved was excited by the potential a course like this offers in helping our church to reach our community in a real and practical ways, being the hands and feet of Jesus in the world.

We have resources to help 50 people and are looking forward to running our first course in the next few months. Course sizes will begin at around 6-7 people. Please check on our church website as to when, where and how to register for the next CAP Money Course.

You can gain control back over your finances and you can live a debt free life!

Bob Bell at After Hours Live - April 2013

On Friday 5th April, Bob Bell was back at After Hours Live delighting the audience with his tongue-in-cheek humour as well as his country music. Singing country classics as well as some old gospel standards, Bob Bell had the audience singing along and laughing out loud! One of his songs was by singer Tiny Tim and Bob came equipped with a long black haired wig and a ukelele to give a convincing performance! Bob was also joined on stage by a few friends, namely Alan Vibes and Robin Johnstone who helped sing and play a couple of the songs.

Octavia's Cafe once again played host to the enjoyable evening, giving a fantastic blend of ambiance, coffee and cake! It was good to see some old faces of people who regularly support After Hours Live, but it was equally good to see a whole host of new faces too - we hope to see you again next month?

Our next After Hours Live will not be on the first Friday of the month due to the bank holiday weekend. We will be back on the second Friday of May instead, Friday 10th May 2013. Our special guest is the young but very talented Joel Fitzsimmons who will be playing and singing a variety of songs, new and old. It promises to be an excellent event. We hope to see you there?
