MAD

MAD 2009 is the biggest Christian Music Festival ever to take place in the country – brilliant groups with every type of music from Worship to Rap to Rock to Break Dancing – and all great craic!

There are bands coming like This Beautiful Republic who are flying in especially from Ohio – the Christian Rock Group that’s taking the U.S.A. by storm. The famous group LZ7 are coming from Manchester – they are a world class loud and wonderful Rap Group – and of course Ben Cantelon and the Soul Survivor Band will lead the worship session. Shell Perris is coming back with her brilliant songs – and there’s lots, lot’s more with two stages to choose from all day!

You can buy tickets on line at mad2009.com now you will save 25% – and maybe more. Tickets will be €20 at the gate on the day – but buy now and you can get them for only €15 (which includes booking fees, credit card charges and VAT at 13.5%). And if you are a group and buy more than “” tickets there are great discounts!

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!
