New Wine Ireland, Sligo Summer Conference

12th – 17th July 09:
What’s in store? The New Wine Ireland summer holiday conference provides a great opportunity for you to spend time worshipping God, receiving from Him through practical teaching and prayer ministry, as well as meeting new people and spending time with family and friends. This year we are moving to a new site to accommodate our growing numbers and the programs we run. You can come as a family, a church group, or on your own and enjoy the friendly and relaxing atmosphere.

Hosted welcome lunches

Over the last term we have been thinking about how best to do welcome lunches in the church, as it seems that doing a “mass” lunch for an hour in CORE for loads of new folk has not been as effective as anticipated. Having a one hour lunch for a large group has not provided adequate space or time to really chat with someone and help them link in to the church community. So we are going to try a “hosted welcome lunch” instead on the 28th June. The primary aim of a hosted lunch is to provide an environment where new people can spend quality time getting to know established church members in a smaller group. So new(er) people would be invited to share lunch, in the homes of established church members. This avoids anyone feeling overwhelmed by the number of people they have been introduced to, while still allowing them to fellowship. We are hoping that this will prove a better way to help people to get to know us a church and therefore feel a part of our community.

Please contact the office if you would like to attend, or know of someone who would like to come. Please spread the word!
