Renewing Our Vision - Lent 2004
Note: This particular programme of events has now finished. Check the latest news on this initiative.
What does God want from us here at Castle Street Methodist Church for the furtherance of his kingdom? That's the question for us now, as Paul said to the Christians in Rome:
"I appeal to you therefore, brothers and sisters, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your minds, so that you may discern what is the will of God - what is good and acceptable and perfect."
This Lent we will be considering our vision as a Church, through our worship, prayer meetings, in discussion groups and also in house groups. All are encouraged to participate in the following programme at Castle Street. Alternatively, feel free to organise your own opportunities for prayer and discussion.
The format of each meeting will be as follows:
| Day | Time | Activity |
|---|---|---|
| Sunday | 1000-1020 | Prayer meeting |
| 1045-1145 | Morning worship | |
| 1945-2100 | Discussion group | |
| Tuesday | 1000-1100 | Discussion group |
The services and discussion groups will follow these themes:
