News from Cross Hills Baptist Church Serving the villages of Thornton & Bagworth plus the surrounding area
The Awesome Holiday Club AS THIS year’s Awesome Holiday Club is on 7th, 8th and 9th August we will unfortunately be well past the deadline for the August Issue of The Herald. We hope therefore to be able to have a few photos included in the September issue showing some of the leaders and children in action!
Sunday Service 20th August 10.30am WE ARE pleased to be welcoming back as our speaker for this week, Phillippe Ndabananiye and his family. Phillippe, who first came to Cross Hills as one of our Sunday service occasional visiting speakers when he was only 23 and just starting out in his ministry, is now married with a family and is part of the Leadership Team of a large thriving church in Whetstone. Whetstone Baptist Church is currently in the process of developing their large new church building on the outskirts of Whetstone, costing over £3million, having outgrown their old premises. Don’t believe the stories that say that the church in the UK is dying nowadays, far from it!! (take a look at their Facebook page and website). Also, don’t forget the Cross Hills Facebook page for our own local news and information.
Acts Series BEGINNING on 3rd, then 10th September, Pastor Garry will be leading a series of sermons based on the Acts of the Apostles.
Testament part of the Bible just after the 4 Gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Following the death and resurrection of Jesus, it provides eyewitness accounts of the birth of the Christian church, beginning in Jerusalem with a small group of disciples then, through the power of the Holy Spirit, spreading out across the old Roman Empire and out into the world. Please join us for what will be an interesting series about the background and spread of Christianity and the impact and joy it brings into our lives today.
Newbold Verdon Jazz Club ON AUGUST 4th Newbold Verdon Jazz Club hosted a charity concert to raise money for Prostaid, a local prostate cancer charity. A large and enthusiastic audience were entertained by the Fidgety Feet All Stars jazz band. The band led by Dougie Wright, drummer, and supported by a group of talented jazz musicians including Steve Nutter on sousaphone and bass, Mel Thorpe on reeds, Mike Robinson on banjo, Bob Wilson on trombone and trumpet player and vocalist Dave Leithead played many well known tunes from the 1920’s jazz scene which were well received by the audience and encouraged more than usual dancers to take to the floor. The Jazz Club would like to thank the support of the audience that enabled us to give Prostaid a donation of over £900 The next concert on September 1st at Newbold Verdon Social Club will be Dave Rae’s Levee Ramblers who I am sure will provide a great evening of traditional jazz. Doors open at 7.00pm and the music is from 8.00 – 10.30pm. Admission £9.00 with drinks and snacks at very reasonable prices. For more details please contact Kelvin on 01455 822824 or Pauline on 0116 2865496
“When you are courting a nice girl an hour seems like a second. When you sit on a red-hot cinder a second seems like an hour. That’s relativity.” Albert Einstein “The trouble with having an open mind, of course, is that people will insist on coming along and trying to put things in it.” Terry Pratchett
