It's beginning to look a lot like Autumn! And we are anticipating a harvest. As Jesus sent out his followers he said, "‘The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field." We pray that you would see friends, neighbours & colleagues come to faith this Autumn.
Next Week (7th Oct) we start our 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 encourage you as church to go out into your neighbourhoods; engaging with your 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. During October we will be focusing on being a "Community on a Journey".

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).
