New Wine News

We're having a great week at New Wine. Our shared meal today saw a great crowd of St Paulites gathered round together to talk eat and play.

We've had great teaching in the morning from Simon Ponsonby and John Peters and in the evening from a variety of people.

Another Big Saturday update

Many thanks to all 138 volunteers who served with us on Another Big Saturday on 17th July! It was our largest yet, with small teams decorating, gardening, and cleaning for local residents right across Salisbury in 29 placements.

As the organising team, we recognise that some placements were particularly demanding and we are extremely grateful to all who worked so hard in sometimes very adverse (chalk!) situations!

Church Weekend Away 2011

Plans are underway for a Church Weekend Away over the May Day Bank holiday weekend in 2011.

Precept Tour of Israel - March 2011

Precept Ministries UK is offering 30 places only on a tour of a lifetime to the land of Israel in March 2011.

We shall be joined by folk from South Africa and Singapore who will also be bringing similar numbers.

God is at work!

On Sunday evening (27th June) a group of relatively ordinary people (St Paul's congregation!) came together in a relatively ordinary place (St Paul's church) to share stories of our extraordinary God at work in our lives today.

'From Eden to Eternity' in an hour

St Paul's had the privilege of hosting The Saltmine Theatre Company's production 'From Eden to Eternity' last night and I, for one, found their presentation of the Bible in just over an hour, both entertaining and powerful.

Black Market?

To survive in Cuba it is nigh on impossible not to use the black market. They have two currencies in circulation (national peso MN, and convertible peso CUC). The vast majority of people are paid in the national money, worth 1/24th of the CUC, which is worth about $1USD. But more and more things are being sold in CUC.

Share your testimony

We are looking for individuals willing to share something of what God has done in their lives for the evening service of Sunday 27th June, which will focus on Praise and Testimony.

Psalm 145 tells us, "One generation will commend you works to another; they will tell of your mighty acts... All you have made will praise you, O LORD; your saints will extol you. They will tell of the glory of your kingdom and speak of your might so that all men may know of your mighty acts and the glorious splendour of your kingdom."

Last one before we go....

We are getting ready to go to Cuba for 3 weeks of investing in the Christians there. Sandro has been going there since before the beginnings of the YWAM Cuba. Now they have a team and to date they have had more than 40 people go through the (Discipleship Training School) DTS programme. Unlike most places it runs for a year, meeting in blocks of 2 or 3 weeks at a time. The feeling is that Cuba is ripe for change and we need to get the Cuban team ready for when that happens so they can be a strong influence for God and His Kingdom.
