BEST AND WORST
AND EVERYTHING INBETWEEN
For the joys and for the sorrows; the best and worst of times...for this we have Jesus...and we
also have each other! Praise God!
THANK YOU
to everyone who came along, supported, prayed for and helped at our
CAP Celebration Event on 25th September. We had 70 people attend and listen to our
presentations. We had a mix of ex-clients, current clients, volunteers and professionals
who refer to CAP. It was great to hear clients’ stories who have been helped by CAP debt
help, and a Job Club volunteer explain how he had found work and continued to help with
the Job club. We enjoyed a lovely buffet lunch together, provided by Snack & Chat,
Penwortham, who employed someone from the Penwortham Job Club. So it is great to
see the mutual benefits of the work we do.
It was a privilege to be able to celebrate 6 years as a debt centre and see the impact this
work is having on current and future generations. It is bringing freedom to people.
However, we require your continued support and prayers for all the work we do.
Things to pray about:Tuesday 25th November is a
Client Open Day at Head Office.
This is a fantastic day out,
touring Head Office and seeing
all the different departments,
having a Bradford curry and
hearing John Kirkby share his
story and God's heart for
people in need.
Please pray for clients to
come along.
If you are a volunteer, please
invite the clients you are linked
to and come along with them.
With Thanks,
Jill Jackson
(The full ‘Thank you’ re:
CAP Celebration event
appeared in last week’s
bulletin.)
BEST AND WORST
AND EVERYTHING INBETWEEN
For the joys and for the sorrows; the best and worst of times...for this we have Jesus...and we
also have each other! Praise God!
Thank you to all of those who voted for
Life NoW in the Lloyds Bank Community Funding
Programme. We shall know the result in early
November and will let you know!
Thanks, also, to all who came to the Barn Dance
on Saturday. It was a great time! Our special thanks to Derrick Bannister who
masterminded the whole event. Fun, laughter and HP sauce were enjoyed by one
and all! Thanks Derrick!
Got something to share?
Let Karen Whaite have your contribution to Best & Worst by
Wednesday 7pm, latest. See back of bulletin for contact details.

Prayer request
Two clients are attending a CAP Discovery Break

19 October
7.30pm
Partners – please note this
date.
This meeting replaces our Annual
Members Meeting and we invite and
encourage all our Partners to make
this evening a priority. We will be
sharing vision and goals and giving
time to prayer for the next phase of
our church life.
Dorothy Barton and Linda McDermott
are due to stand for re-election after
completing a two year term as elders.
We are also nominating Ian Shepherd
as a new elder.
It will also be the conclusion of a Half
Week of Prayer – see separate page
for more information on that.
Following recent
events here at CCF
there are still a
number of plates,
dishes and
containers that have
been left behind
and possibly
forgotten.
You can find these
in the kitchen.
Please take a look to
see whether any
belong to you….and
take them home.
Thank you!
Kath and Wendy
Knitters
wanted…
to help us with a project
which may help us
spread news of
SPLAT! (Messy Church)
into our community.
We need a shed load of
sheep making for our
advent event, so are
hoping to recruit some
of you who are clever
with needles. We have
bought a lovely pattern
which doesn’t take much
wool but it’s probably
not suitable for absolute
beginners - unless you
have an experienced
knitter on hand to help
with the tricky bits.
If you would like to help
us in this way, please see
Miriam or Jo and we will
get you a pattern (and
wool if you don’t have
any sheep-making
materials available!!).
Thanks so much,
Miriam

love and 'Share Life’ with our local community.
Please put it on your calendars and invite your friends and family.
DECORATION
During the half term week –
specifically 28th to 30th
October – the main hall will
be redecorated; therefore,
the hall will not be available
for use during this time.
Food For Life

generations of those who love him and
keep his commandments.

What is Landmark
st
th
It’s a weekend conference, happening in Lancaster on 1 – 4 May 2015
and is being organised by a group of churches from Lancashire and the Lake
District (including us – CCF) – hence the web address ‘lancsandlakes’.
It’s being run as a New Wine Local event getting support from the New Wine
Network. However, it’s not exclusive to New Wine churches, everyone will be
welcome - in fact many churches in Lancaster are already supporting the event.
Landmark is an opportunity for us all to experience God in worship, prayer and
praise, through teaching and ministry. Whether you are a part of the New
Wine movement or not, you will be welcome to worship with us over this
weekend.
The aim of this ‘New Wine Local’ weekend is not to replicate the summer
conferences, but to:
• Provide a landmark local experience of Word and Spirit ministry, with
excellent Biblical teaching and the opportunity for people to experience
renewal ministry in our region, in accordance with the NW Vision and Values
• Be inspired in creative mission which engages with our northern situations
• Strengthen a local network of Word and Spirit churches in Lancashire and
Cumbria
There will be activities and meetings organised specifically for children, youth
and adults as well as time for families to have fun together.
Put the dates in your diaries and look out
for more information.
REFRESHMENTS
THIS MORNING you will be served by the JOLLY TOTS,
FLOURISH and LAF groups.
NEXT SUNDAY you will be served by the BUBBLES, SPLASH and
XSTREAM groups.
Thank you servers!
May you all be blessed in your giving as we are blessed in receiving.
