Our VisionIs to Aspire … to Inspire… a Desire… in JESUS! The Newsletter of the Bolsover and Staveley CircuitJUNE 2007 No 70 PRAYER AND WORSHIP During the service we prayed for Derbyshire, its towns and people, for Bolsover and the need to unify our churches. Councillor Walker explained how prayer was needed for the council, the work the council was doing in trying to cut vandalism and crime while still working with outside agencies to obtain funds for continuing regeneration. Need was also expressed for the young people of the town and for the continuing changes that were taking place at Bolsover Hospital. We prayed specifically for the council and the leaders of the churches in Bolsover before splitting into smaller groups to pray for the needs of Bolsover and its surrounding villages. It was a moving service and I personally found it very meaningful and rewarding. I have never felt comfortable sitting in a large group and feeling I should pray out loud but with songs interspersing the prayers, the splitting into groups and the time for personal prayer meant I left the service full of Gods Spirit with renewed hope for our town, and a great feeling of personal peace. I only hope we don’t have to wait for next years prayer walk before we hold another prayer and worship service. Sylvia Turner MARK’S RICKSHAW TOUR So how can you be involved, there are three ways you can be involved. The first is sponsorship, I am looking for people to sponsor me as I take part in this journey. The second is raise money yourself, we are looking for people to walk, hop, and run a mile to help raise even more money. The third way is by coming to the event, on Monday 18th of June at 7.30pm where the Interserve team will be at Hill Top. We will be having a praise service and hearing for the team. So please come along and help change peoples lives. If you want more information see the web site www.therickshawtour.org God Bless, Mark North WORSHIP THROUGH MOVEMENT The dancers who provide inspiration in the Big Top evening services were leading a series of sessions on using movement to worship God, interpret scripture and minister to others. Both Pam Cutts and I decided to attend these sessions, and were hugely blessed by the practical teaching and freedom to express our worship to God through movement. We both felt that God wanted us to extend this blessing to our Church, so together we have created Worship Through Movement, a weekly group open to all ages and abilities in an attempt to share what we have learnt from Spring Harvest, and encourage others to explore a new way of worshipping God. Worship Through Movement is not a choreographed dance group, nor is it a means to public performance on a Sunday Morning, rather it is a place of freedom to bless God and minister to each other through His gift of movement. We meet on Wednesday evenings from 7-8pm in the Sykes room at Bolsover Methodist Church, please feel free to join us! Lucy Buckley SARAH AT SPRING HARVEST Each day we have to learn part of a memory verse and every day we add a line to it. On the second day our verse was We are one people and we belong to God. On the Third day we added the line, We are a holy people. On the fourth day the line we added was We are a catholic people. On the fifth day are verse became, We are one people, In the mornings I go to the omega zone lead by Dave Godfrey. We do one writing activity, one sport activity and one creative activity. Each activity lasts for about 40 minutes, snack time lasts 15 minutes and we do 45 minutes bouncing around. Dave Godfrey writes all the songs we sing. His CDs include On the shoulders of Giants, Brave and Daring, Heavens Number .1, Dependence day, Holy Washing Machine and Zoom. In the evening we go to all age worship. At all age worship we sing, dance, use flags & Ribbons and we watch a Sketch written by John Hardwick and his team. All age worship enables families to worship together. After all age worship I go back to the omega zone. We watch part of a play there and we also do more singing and dancing. The play we watch is about a dancing competition and two competitors (Disco Dave & Grandpa Joe). I really enjoyed Spring Harvest this year and want to go back right now.
