Matt McChlery to play After Hours Live in January

Friday 9th January 2015 sees our very own Matt McChlery take to the After Hours Live stage at Octavia's Cafe in Wisbech where he will be playing a blend of contemporary songs you may have heard on the radio as well as some of his own original material.

Matt's song "Fingerprints" has recently been awarded a 'Finalist' position in the prestigeous 2014 UK Songwriting Contest. Matt will be singing "Fingerprints" at the event as well as having his latest CD for sale which also includes the song. This will be the fourth time Matt has played at After Hours Live and it is set to be another fantastic event.

Doors open at 7pm with music starting at 7:30pm. Entry is free, but do bring some money so you can enjoy the delicious cakes and teas / coffees.

Christmas Day Service 2014

It was with great joy that the free churches from around Wisbech met together in the Queen Mary Centre on Christmas morning to celebrate the birth of Jesus together! This year the event was hosted by The King's Church, Wisbech and the service was very well attended. The srevice was  a combined effort by the ministers from The King's Church, The Salvation Army and the message preached by Graham Licence from Wisbech Baptists who reminded us that Jesus is not just for Christmas day, but for every day of the year. A mixture of traditional carols and modern contempory worship were played by The King's Church musicians  - truly reflecting the different styles of worship of those present.

Thank you for coming and we pray you have a very blessed Christmas!

CAP Money Course update

Peterborough Course Complete

Two of our CAP Money Coaches, Matt and Robyn, have just completed running the course over three weeks at the regional headquarters of Accent housing association in Peterborough. This course was for staff of the organisation in order to help them become familiar with the course content, as well as to help them with their personal finances. It is hoped that early 2015 will see the start of referals being made by Accent to our CAP Money Team of their clients in the Wisbech area who would benefit from financial education.

CAP Money Kids

A new strand of CAP Money is to start financial education from an early age. The syllabus is designed for children between the ages of 9 and 11. The course content fulfils many requirements in the new National Curriculum in the subjects of PSHE and Citizenship. Leaflets are ready to go out to schools in early 2015. Pplease pray that there will be interest.

2015 Dates

Within the next week or so the CAP Money Coaches are getting together to plan for the year ahead. This will include setting the dates of the next CAP Money Courses that will be open to all in Wisbech. If you are wanting to get back in control of your finances, whether you are in debt or not, keep checking our website for the next course date. These courses are run completely free of charge.

My Friend Paul

Friday 13th December 2014 saw a host of Wisbech talent take to the stage in support of the charity 'My Friend Paul'. Orgainsed by teacher Jacob Keet, who is also a member of our church, the event was a fantastic celebration and featured musicians from different parts of the community including Thomas Clarkson Academy Strings, Wisbech Community Children's Choir, Wisbech Grammar School Flute Trio, the Clarkson Singers, Wisbech Community Choir and an amazingly talented young harpist Rosie Scott. Our church was also represented by Jacob, Alan and Clive who played violin and accordian to some very rousing Eastern Eurpoean pieces.

The event was held in St Peter's and St Paul's church in the heart of Wisbech. Just over £500 was raised for 'My Friend Paul', a charity who supports a family of orphaned children in Kenya. Find out more about the charity at myfriendpaul.org

Lucas and Barclay at 'Impact 2014'

Steve Barclay MP and Jeff Lucas

Churches from around Wisbech and the surrounding area gathered together last night for 'Impact 2014'. Special guests included Steve Barclay MP and Jeff Lucas. Steve shared some of the projects he is involved in that he hopes will help to improve life our town as well as suggestions of ways we can actually get involved, rather than sitting on the sidelines and complaining.

This was echoed by Jeff Lucas who delivered his message with his characteristic blend of humour and wit with some serious points mixed in. We need to be the change we want to see in our society. The church needs to lead the way. We should stop waiting for some superhero to come along and do all the hard work because actually it is ordinary people who change the world! By taking responsibility and going in to address the problems present in our community, by churches standing together and working together we can have a great impact in our world.

Daughters of Davis at After Hours Live

Daughters of Davis playing at After Hours Live

 The brilliant and super-talented Daughers of Davis fought the Friday night traffic to be with us at After Hours Live in Octavia's Cafe, Wisbech on Friday. Despite the sub-zero temperatures outside the largest audience After Hours Live has had to date helped make the cafe feel snug and warm. The girls put on an amazing performance with their unique blend of acoustic instruments and haunting harmonies singing a mix of covers such as Michael Jackson's 'Billy Jean' and 'Have a Holly Jolly Christmas' as well as some original material.

After Hours Live is in the process of booking performers and special guests for its 2015 line-up so keep up to date by checking out the After Hours Live website for all the latest news. See you in 2015!
