Encounter is an occasional evening service here at MBC with space to seek God together. We share in sung worship, prayer, teaching and openness to the Spirit. Each time we take a theme that connects with the current time. 

The first Encounter is scheduled for 7pm – 8.30pm on Sunday 24th of September. 

The theme will be “Living best and not just the good, built on the assurance of God’s goodness” and texts will include: Ecclesiastes 3: 9-14, Luke 11: 9-13 and Ephesians 1: 13-14. 

There will be another Encounter on November 26th. 

There will be a Fairtrade stall after our Sunday morning Service on September 17th. This is an opportunity to support farmers and craft people in poor and marginalised communities around the world through Traidcraft.  The new Traidcraft catalogue will be available to view.

There will be two further sales, one on 22 October the other on November 26 which will feature lots of Christmas cards and gifts as well as some delicious teas, coffees and confectionery. 

Of course all these things are also available at our local Fairtrade/Traidcraft shop, The Beehive, on Potternewton Lane.

Check out the shops opening hours by following this direct link to its website http://www.thebeehiveshop.org.uk/

Last  Sunday the BBC’s Songs of Praise came from the New Wine event that Chris Puckrin and the Thompson family have just returned from.

Richard Thompson says “it would be ace if more folk from Moortown could come together for this, and as this year was fully booked up it’s worth booking for next summer’s event as soon as places are available in September.

If you are interested I’m sure Richard, Kathryn or Chris will be more than happy to give you more information.
