Evangelism at Speakers Corner.

“Ignorant men raise questions that wise men answered a thousand years ago.” – Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Speakers Corner in London’s Hyde Park is the oldest free speech platform in the world. People won the right to speak in mass protests in the 1860s and early 1870s. Some people believe the tradition is connected to the right of the condemned to a last speech before being hung at the Tyburn gallows, a practice that stopped at the end of the 18th century. Every Sunday people from all sorts of convictions come to Hyde Park in the afternoon to spead their message or to have fun.

A smaller than number of chiuldren on day #1: Tuesday (20 kids) compared top previous years, but then the numbers increased with just over 30 children each day.
It wasa real encouragement to have contact with some new families, it would be great to see some of them on Sunday morning at the All-Age Service.

Starting today…
Polar Explorers Holiday Club is a 4-day fun event for children aged 4–11 years (school years Reception to Year 6) run by volunteers from Swanfield Chapel, Chichester. We start at 10.00am and finsih at 12noon.
Two hours of fun, games, Bible stories, competitions, DVD’s, songs and much more!

With the help of Sir Random Finds and Bare Feet, the children are explorers who go on a mini-expedition each day and learn about a New Testament character. Through the lives of these people, they learn that no one is too anything to be part of God’s big expedition, that is, to be a friend of Jesus and go out and help other people be friends of Jesus too.

Always great to see a ‘full House’ at BodyBuilders inter-Church Youth Event.

Such a good atmosphere with the way the younger kids and older youth mix together and take part.
Really good listening to the talk on the book of Daniel. Tonight, we had reached chapter 5, ‘The Writings on the Wall.’
Thanks to the team for ice-breaker games, World Focus, Tuck Shop and general help.

‘Body Builders’ Extra is also proving to meet a need, with 8 older teenagers arriving early to enjoy a Bible study and comsume some Pizza. Thanks to the team of helpers who run this!

The Church: Purpose, Profile & Priorities: ‘Finding your place in the body.’ – 1 Corinthians chapter 12 verses 12-27 – sermon by Gordon Curley
