On Saturday the 8th September Living Word Church will be hosting its first event in the new Living Word Centre.

It will be a great opportunity for the Community to see who we are and what we are involved in. There will be a free barbecue, great music and activities for the children. We will also be giving tours around the building and showing how the renovations are progressing and also the plans we have for the different areas of the building.

So please feel free to pop in and join us for a great afternoon.

Last week was our first time meeting together as the church for a sunday celebration in our new building. It was such an exciting time following all the hard work so many people had put into getting the building ready.

It was amazing to see what a transformation had taken place.
Although there is still much work needed to be done in the place we are moving forward and looking forward to seeing God’s name glorified in this place.

We apologise but the following event has had to be cancelled due to an issue with Pastor Slava’s visa.

Come and hear Pastor Slava Goncharenko who is seeing thousands turn to Christ in Europe’s last communist dictatorship.
He and His church have faced considerable persecution from the state authorities because of their desire to meet together and help people in their communities. In spite of this God has blessed them and they have seen many miracles and the church has grown to thousands of members.
Come and hear this inspiring man and his story and read his book: ‘Church in the Cowbarn’

Tea and coffee will be served from 6.45pm

Every year a Health and Healing festival is held at the Knavesmire York, attended by various new age, spiritualist and alternative medicine practitioners. This year we decided to take our own team there to introduce them to the only true healer – Jesus! We had a great weekend with many opportunities both to share the gospel with people and to see its power at work with many being healed. There were so many confused, lonely and desperate people, striving for spirituality and searching for more.

It was amazing how may Christians were attending the conference, fed up of dry churches with no teaching or foundations, they were looking for spirituality – but in completely the wrong place! It was great to be able to point them back to Jesus, particularly as many of them had little understanding of who he is and what he has done for them. We were able to challenge people, explaining that the only way to God the Father is through Jesus, and correcting the false importance and worship of angels – we gave one lady a Bible with a copy of “Why Jesus?” used to bookmark the chapter in Hebrews concerning the place of angels!

As well as sharing the truth about Jesus we also layed hands and prayed for a lot of sick people. A lady with a swollen ankle was completely healed and able to walk again normally, another lady with osteoporosis and fibromialga experienced immediate relief from pain. Others including migraine and asthma sufferers were prayed for and a lady with IBS received prayer for healing and also through a word of knowledge received words of encouragement concerning her loneliness. Another suffer of fatigue and depression was encouraged and built up.

We were all very blessed and encouraged to be out there making a stand for the gospel and for the name of Jesus. Thank you for all your prayers of support and to Susan, Tim, Helen, Matt, Sam, Stef and Toby for getting out there and allowing Jesus to change lives!

Refresh 2010 is Ministries without Borders annual conference held at the Staffordshire show ground. It is always a great time of fantastic worship and inspiring teaching and this year was better than ever!
It’s always a great time to hear from God and to have quality time together as the Church family. Thanks to Sheila and Chris there was always food available in the Church marquee.

It was also fantastic to hear the number of testimonies of healing and lives changed and encouraged during the week. If you have a testimony you would like to share please feel free to comment against the post.
