What kind of God doesn’t stop all the pain?

Why not come this Wednesday 16 April to the first of our new monthly evenings called ‘God in the Dock’? Phone Alex to book a meal to start the evening at the Vic, Dovecote Lane, Beeston at 8pm.

Emmanuel Goes Camping

Over the weekend at the end of half-term (Fri 30 May - Sun 01 June), join us at Bank House Park, Hulme End, Hartington for our annual ‘Emmanuel Goes Camping’ weekend!  Last year was such a fantastic weekend together … with a lovely relaxed atmosphere, and nearly everyone able to be there for at least some of the weekend.  Details are coming soon … 

Camp for the whole weekend (if you don’t have equipment, there’s almost certainly things around to borrow, so you shouldn’t need to buy anything).  Or, if you’d rather not camp, there are alternatives.  The Manifold Inn (literally just across the road) offers B and B in a homely country pub, or you could try the Hartington Youth Hostel (about two miles away, and a bit cheaper), or you could plan to come for a day visit(s) … as much as you are able.  Contact the pub or the youth hostel direct to book up to stay there. 

On Sunday 01 June, The Sunday Service will be held there at 11am, with a BYO picnic lunch to follow.

Fly
air is our Friday youth night for 12-18s using the same giant inflatables as Wacky World, and again in the main hall at BHSCC … but it’s all without your little brother or sister!

There’ll be lots of time to hang out with mates, plus a short talk that will be visual, entertaining and telling it straight.

‘air’ has got the coolest invitation cards of them all: pick up loads any Sunday at Emmanuel and invite loads of friends.
