Harvest Festival

Just to remind you that this Sunday (27th Sept), there will be no usual Live-Stream "Sofa Service" from the Burtons' house. Instead we will be broadcasting a pre-recorded "virtual Harvest Festival" that I have pre-recorded this week. It's short and sweet - just 45mins in length - and designed to be "visitor-friendly" in case we attract any new viewers from outside the usual congregation. I hope you enjoy it...thankyou to all those who have donated food for the Foodbank and brought it in this week. Thankyou, too, for all the generous donations for BMS World Mission.

To watch the service "live", make sure you're tuned in promptly for a 10.30am start. The video can be found on our YouTube channel or via the link below.

Colwell Baptist Church online, "virtual Harvest Festival".

Socially distant but relationally connected

Whilst we can no longer meet in person as a church family, we're going to try really hard to stay relationally connected despite all the social distancing. Can you spare 40 minutes either on a Monday at 4pm, or on a Tuesday at 8pm? If so, please log into our "CBC Zoom Room" for a short time of fellowship, chat and prayer.

We have set up a "Virtual Church Hall" - a Zoom Meeting Room where church members can log in using a computer, tablet or phone. Having logged in you'll be able to see and hear everyone else - all of them on little screens on your one big screen! Click on the image above to enter the room.

To make sure it's a fun and uplifting time together each week, we will;
1) Have two different times that the room is open...4pm on a Monday and 8pm on a Tuesday. Please pick whichever is convenient for you.
2) We'll keep it short and sweet...we'll meet for 40 minutes max. Then kick everyone out!!
3) We'll structure it a bit. During the 40 minutes, I will split you up into small groups of three (with some questions) so that conversation can flow a bit more easily. 
4) We'll have a focus - we'll use these weekly times online to host a "Virtual Bookclub"...we'll be reading "The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry" as part of the Big Church Read. If you forget to read the relevant chapter please don't worry...but we'll try to read a chapter a week over the coming term.

Please call me if you have any questions.
