Fw: East Preston outreach opportunities
Dear Church / Youth Leaders
In celebration of the Diamond Jubilee we're working in partnership with Heritage Church to put on a 3 day festival on Ribbleton (Waverly) Park 6,7 & 8th June.
We'll be building team and doing training 10-2pm on the 5th June in Longsands at Norman Jepson Beefeater, Bluebell Way, Fulwood, Preston PR2 5RU.
Heritage Church is sponsoring this first community event (they will have a team over from the USA to help) as a way to begin a fresh expression of church for north east Preston which complements the work of the existing body of Christ. Heritage and Fusion welcomes other church partnership in this endeavour. All participants will be invited to follow up events hosted by Heritage.
This is a great opportunity for your church folk to volunteer at this event or failing that, just bring the kids and come and see how it works!
Then on the 31st July – 2nd August we're repeating the event and this time we will have a team of 10 mission hearted, well trained volunteers with us as part of Fusion's British Pilgrimage and it will be in celebration of the Olympics. In 17 countries around the world, Fusion has seen how big sporting events can be a great excuse for churches to reach out to their communities.
Consequently we're really keen to see this as a multi-church event as an investment into the poorest community in Preston.
To that end our European director Marty Woods is coming up to help us with a vision sharing and training event on Sunday 8th July, (3-6pm, St Mathews Mission, Acregate Lane PR1 5QQ).
This will be your chance to bring your congregations and to find out more. Marty is a great motivational speaker and will inspire and encourage your congregations to be enthusiastic in mission.
The beauty of a Fusion festival is that there is a role for everyone, whatever the age – if you can bake a cake, serve tea or be a friendly meeter-greater then there is a role for you!
I really believe six days of community festivals could be the start of some deeper connections into the East Preston community from which we will see new folk wanting to work alongside the churches locally and invest more into their own communities – we will explain more of how this can be achieved on the 5th June and the 8th July.
2012 is a once in a lifetime opportunity to celebrate as the world comes to our shores for the Olympics & Paralympics.
Both the police and the council are partnering with us and are very encouraged by what we're wanting to achieve.
Please consider what your church could contribute and come along to the training on the 5th June and also on the 8th July to see what it's all about.
Attached is a church bulletin notice. A verbal plug would also be GREAT!
Please pass this on to other local churches and leaders who might be interested.
Yours for the Kingdom!
Andy
