Moses Story. When God calls people he equips them, and stays close to them. God told Moses, "I will be with you and give you the words to say". Ex 4:12.

God's Gang will have their own meeting on Remembrance Sunday which will include packing shoeboxes for Operation Christmas Child. Please take a leaflet if you wish to fill your own box an read the instructions carefully! If you are not able to fill a complete box but have some suitable items, God's Gang will welcome them on the morning of 8th November with a cheque for £2.50 or more to pay for carriage. Thank you. (If you have any further queries, please see John or Sue Radcliffe)

Child Protection - now called Safeguarding
Changes are being brought in by the diocese. The immediate change affecting Christ Church is that all training now has to be done by the diocese and other training is not acceptable. There may be further changes to come. If you are unsure what this means to you, plase see Margaret Cartwright who has more information.

By the time you read this we will have celebrated “Back to church Sunday” and will have also given thanks to God for the Harvest festival. Once again Christ Church will be full as people find how to draw close to Jesus and find true friendship with their fellow Christians. What you probably don't know is the great news about the film of the Bury St Edmunds Passion Play, which we put on the internet earlier this year.

The film which shows an open air re-enactment of Jesus Christ’s Last Supper, trail, and execution, on the streets of Bury St Edmunds, has won a national award. We took part in a competition which included such well known names as St Paul’s Cathedral, Tear fund and the national Methodist Church. Our the six minute production has won the 2009 Best use of New Media for a Christian campaign at the Original Christian Web and New Media Awards.
