Slightly longer break

We have all been so busy doing exciting things, that we have had to postpone the planned Praise service for 13 September.

But don't worry - we will get back on track soon.

You might be interested in the Fire and Glory Day on Sat 12 September as part of the Jesus Loves Leicestershire initiative. It is the third annual event, running in Humberstone Gate, Leicester, from 11am to 4pm.

Summer Break

Its been an up and down year so far. Some great worship and praise in both villages, as we see Christ's love shine out. Some great developments as well - a number of great events organised by Fleckney Churches Together, the ongoing developments in Kibworth such as the new youth worker and The Well. God really is good, and shining down His love on both villages/

But there are some real challenges for us individually and as a community. The down turn in the economy continues to challenge some of us, some people are struggling to find work, or money is tight as companies reduce orders and hours available to work are less. Others benefit from low interest rates and lower mortgage payments. The risk of the gap between the haves and have-nots widening increases.

We are now in our summer break. Although this means fewer 'church' activities, the daily worship our our Lord, through our daily activities, continues.

Enjoy the break. Take our Lord with you wherever you go. If you are on holiday, have a great time.

See you in September.

Lori Lawlor - 14 June

Sunday 14 June sees Lori and her team make a second attempt to get to Kibworth.

You may remember that during the snow in the last winter, Lori had to abandon her trip. This time, we pray for better weather.

Lori and renowned for excellent ministry, including soaking prayer, and moving with the Spirit. We pray for an excellent evening, and you will all be welcome.

Keep an eye on the weather

Pentecost Celebration

Pentecost marks a significant step in the development of the Christian faith. As everybody met together, the Spirit came and rested upon them.

Prophecies were fulfilled on that day, and many people came to follow Jesus.

Peter encouraged people to repent and receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. This was the promise made to all.

On Sunday 31 May we will be celebrating Pentecost as we all meet together to relive the promise.

This is an event for everybody - the promise is for you, your children and those still far off.

4pm, Sunday 31 May at St Wilfrid's Church, Kibworth. There will be a family picnic afterwards.

Organised jointly by St Wilfrid's Church, Kibworth; Kibworth Methodist Church and New Life Church - Fleckney.

UPDATE

It was a great afternoon, with almost 100 people coming together, as a family in God, to celebrate. Here are a few photo's from the day

24/7 Prayer Room

For those of you who may not yet have visited the prayer room (at The Well, 45 High Street, Kibworth), there are still slots available. They tend to book up about three days in advance, so if you have a particular time in mind, it is worth popping in early. If you are a pretty flexible, there is normally one slot just waiting to be filled!

There are some great prayers and testiomonies on the walls and in the prayer books. And the feeling of just spending some time with God is phenominal.

Here are some more photos from both the Prayer Room and from the waiting area.

And these are from the lobby area where anybody and everybody is welcome to come and add an image.

Prayer Room Update

During Lent, the Prayer Room is open 24 hours a day.

Feedback so far has been terrific, and some slots are in great demand. As always, the success of these initiatives is not just in praying none stop for 40 days and nights, but is the way that God moves both within those involved in praying, and in the community.

At the moment, the prayer room is one of only three in the UK, and the only one going for the whole of Lent.

You can pop in during the day, and have a look round, leave a prayer request and see how work is progressing on The Well. And you can look at available slots.

Taking an hour out of a busy schedule to spend time with God is a tremendous opportunity. Focusing thoughts on the one who loves us unconditionally.

In the Prayer Room there are ideas for prayer, books to reflect on and poems. And outside in the waiting area there is Painting Wall. Anybody can add to it, and we post some photographs as it progresses here and on our FACEBOOK site.

Pop into the Prayer Room. It is at The Well, 45 High Street, Kibworth.

Kibworth and Fleckney Praise - Sunday 8 March, 7.30pm at Fleckney

The following Kibworth and Fleckney Praise will be a Pentecost Praise held at Kibworth on 31 May, at the special time of 4pm. We will have a family tea afterwards, so put the date in your diary.
