Back To Church Sunday

On September 27th 2009 half a million people will be inviting someone special back to church with them.

This is an excellent opportunity to invite a friend, neighbour, work colleague or just about anyone to come to church. They may be someone who has just slowly drifted out of church or they may be on the fringe and possible considering it. Your invite may be just the encouragement to get them through the door.

The London 2012 Olympics - PRAYER WALK

More Than Gold (MTG) is the lead organisation for the official Church response to the London 2012 Olympics. MTG held an engagement conference at Wembley Stadium on Thursday 16th July and hoped to engage and envision key stakeholders to be proactive in preparing for the opportunities the Olympics offers to Churches.

The LBA Mission strategy Forum (MSF) hosted a reception for eastern District ministers at Custom House Baptist Church to discuss a baptist response to the Olympics. A brief summary of that reception will be circulated shortly along with PowerPoint presentations. At the end of the reception we explored what might possible be the 'way ahead' for Baptist Churches? One suggestion was a prayer walk From Victoria Park Baptist Church to the Olympic site and then on to Woodgrange Baptist Church for a meal and fellowship. This will take place at 10:00am on MONDAY 21st SEPTEMBER.

LBA Announcements - THE GATHERING

10 October 2009

The Gathering seeks to encourage people to discover the richness of multiculturalism and fresh expressions of mission, leadership and worship. Our hope is that people will leave with a new perspective on church, key resources to connect with their community and will have made good connections with a range of people from different cultures.

This year's The Gathering event will aim to capture the worship and styles of the Indian subcontinent with the theme 'How is Jesus revealed in your culture?'. The Gathering event will be very informative and educative for leaders who are wanting to learn more about Asian culture and spiritualities so as to equip Christians to share the gospel with their local Asian community.

Everyone is welcome to The Gathering and will find the exploration into another culture enriching for their own.

· Date of the event: Saturday 10 October 09

· Place: Edmonton Baptist church, The Green, Monmouth Road, Edmonton, N9 0LS

· Time: Doors open at 10.30am

· Cost: £15 [£12.50 if you book before 31 July]
