PHATFISH IN BANBURY

Saturday 31st October: PHATFISH performed in Banbury at a non-halloween Christian concert. 

Around 250 people attended the concert, at which the PULSE band (a group of local young Christians)

  (left) acted as warm up before PHATFISH

(left), who wowed the crowd with a terrific concert of their new songs and of course some of their old favourites.

A view from the back of the crowd, the stage, the lights.

And finally...Lou Fellingham makes a young fan's day...

Thank you, PHATFISH, for a superb performance and thanks to Mustard Seed (Banbury) and One Man Band (Banbury) for selling tickets.

Crazy Colour Party ...

SREC held its non halloween Crazy COlour Party on Sat 31st Oct.  Pictures to follow...

God Speed...

On Sunday 20th September we formally wished some of our students all the very best as they left to take their places in the universities and colleges they had been admitted to.  We shall miss Sam, David and Miriam terribly but we wish them every success and God's blessing as they head off...

The photo below was taken after a short presentation and prayer from John.

THANKSGIVING

On Sunday 20th September we gave thanks for the gift of little Reuben, born to Kate in July this year.  A full church witnessed the event, with family, friends and Godparents publicly promising to look after Reuben and bring him up to know God.

SAILING EVENT

In early April a group from our church enjoyed a few days sailing across the English Channel to the Dutch coast.

The boat Morning Star was built using concrete, but this did not seem to stop our intrepid friends having a great time.

The weather was just right (most of the time!) for sailing with a good wind.

This event is becoming a regular occurrence – keep an eye on our website for details of future sailings!

 

Holiday Kid’s Club

On 20-22 February we held a Holiday Kid’s Club at the church. We had a great turnout of around 70 children from all over Banbury, and a great time was had by all. The children enjoyed the band (teenagers and wannabe teenagers only) which played the Club Song very loudly every day. They enjoyed the activities, which included aerobics, crafts, and even a 'personal best' section in which they were helped to test themselves every day on physical activities.

Of course there were quieter times as well in which they were taught scriptures, heard Bible stories, watched DVDs presenting the gospel and competed in quizzes for points and (probably more importantly) for sweets.

It was terrific to see so many children in the church, enjoying themselves, listening intently to the teaching and joining in all the various activities. Mums, dads and 'taxi drivers' were provided with tea, coffee and a chat and we had many expressions of thanks for the work that went in to make it such a success.

The photographs give you some idea of the energy that went into the three days and of the output from the children.
