This Week...
This Sunday (9th) we are back at Sidney Stringer Academy

We will be back at our usual Sunday Morning Venue from this Sunday ready for a new term! No new uniforms or stationary needed, unless you want to make some notes, as we will be starting our new series on the book of Luke.

Over the next month and to prepare us for Neighbourhood Sundays we will be exploring the life of Jesus and how he impacted the communities and neighbourhoods in which he lived.


As always, we start at 10:15am. N.B. We will be worshipping in the cafe rather than the theatre this week.

From our Pastors...
Now that the Summer is beginning to come to a close, we look with anticipation to the Autumn. As we move into what may feel like a new phase in the life of this church we believe that this is really a return to what God placed in our hearts as we first moved to Coventry twenty years ago: To make disciples who make disciples and to transform our neighbourhoods.

This Autumn we will take on a 1:3 Rhythm for Sunday Morning. Once a month you will find church out in the community. This is not a Sunday off, but a Sunday out!  We (all of us who make up Coventry Vineyard) will be taking church out into our neighbourhoods; engaging with our local community together; building authentic relationships, sowing seeds of the kingdom by sacrificially serving and expressing God’s love in practical ways. 

For the other three Sundays a month we will gather at Sidney Stringer Academy for our corporate celebratory gathering. For four weeks from September 9th we will be meeting in the cafe area of Sidney Stringer Academy rather than the theatre in order to build on our identity as community. As you come to worship on a Sunday, please gather with an expectation to experience God's presence and contribute to our life as church together. During this time the talks will be focusing on four key moments in the book of Luke, when the Kingdom broke in and lives (and communities) were changed.

The Kingdom of God is demonstrated as we heal the sick, preach the gospel and set the captives free. Jesus proactively pushed back oppression and spiritual darkness wherever he saw it damaging people. Understanding and exercising our God-given authority helps to do the same in our day to day lives.

Our prayer is that each of us will grow in having a powerful and effective Kingdom impact on the world around us. As we gather we’ll worship and have plenty of time to pray for one another, expectant that God is going to meet us. We want to dive into all the ways that we can be on mission with God, in the communities where he’s placed us.

Venue: Gas Street Church, 41 Gas Street, Birmingham, B1 2JT / Cost: £15/£20
Guest Speakers: Brenda Gatlin (Duluth Vineyard, Minnesota) and Debby Wright (Trent Vineyard & our National Director).
