Welcome
to
Calvary
Christian
Fellowship
and our
BULLETIN for
Sunday, 19th October 2014
This morning is a youth service.
Our Youth Team will be speaking and
LJ Warren, Sam and Hannah Prosser will lead
us through our service and our songs.
The theme today is
Day to Day with Jesus
We will also share in communion today.
We hope you
enjoy your time
with us today
and will stay for
a brew and a
chat at the end.
Calvary Christian
Fellowship is
a registered
Fair Trade Church.
Refreshments will be available after the service,
to which everyone is warmly invited.
An opportunity for prayer will be made available, for
anyone who wishes, towards the end of the service.
Today’s talk will be recorded on CD and can be
purchased for 50p, at the end of the service, from the
desk at the back of the hall. Talks from previous
Sundays can also be ordered here.
Making disciples – people who love God and love others.

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 11th October. It was a great time! Altogether, £575 was raised for
Life NoW! Our special thanks to Derrick Bannister who masterminded the whole
event. Fun, laughter and HP sauce were enjoyed by one and all! Thanks Derrick!
George & Joan Thomas
THANK YOU
…to everyone who came and supported Mercy People in
our debut concert at Chorley Live on Friday 3rd October!
We really appreciated the warmth and enthusiasm of all
who came to St George’s Church and encouraged us as we
faced the challenges of band setup, choir positioning,
sound check, multi-media with only 10 minutes between
acts, and for the first time outside our Ward Street comfort zone!
Ticket sales raised £300 for our three justice causes. It's a start!
Our next performance is at Ward Street on Saturday 29th November at
7.30pm, back in our comfort zone! Tickets will again be £5, with all proceeds
to our justice causes - nobody else takes a penny. We're targeting £1000 for
this event, which would mean a packed venue!!!
With your support we can do it! Tickets will be on sale soon.
Thanks.
Graham Hooke
Got something to share?
Let Karen Whaite have your contribution to Best & Worst by
Wednesday 7pm, latest. See back of bulletin for contact details.
FOOD CRISIS AT BULABAKULU VILLAGE, UGANDA.
Here at CCF we have been supporting Pastor Joshua and the Kibuli Church in Kampala
since 1999. During that time, his vision for a Children's Village for street children has
come to fruition and currently supports about 200 children with a school attached.
Other people and agencies have got involved and provided significant support for the
project, one of these paying £2,000 per month for food. Last month they gave notice
of discontinuing this support. Chris & Andy Bull, who have also been major
supporters of the village (making annual trips and funding the development of
substantial accommodation, solar power etc.),are spearheading an initiative to
replace this funding. Please take a look at all the information in this week's Bulletin
and pray and consider whether you can help in some way.
(Check out our website: Serving our World > Pastor Joshua-Uganda, for their October
newsletter and alternative gift flyers.)
Thank you.
HOME OF HOPE – INDIA
We have just received this news from Sundar & Sarah Pinninty:
Dear friends,
As some of you may be aware from a text message we sent out yesterday, we have
just had a little girl aged 2 admitted into the Home of Hope. We have been trying to
gather as much information about her as possible, but little is known about her. She
was found on the railway platform alone. Not sure how long she has been at the
station. Today we had her health check, she had a high temperature, and was sick a
couple of times. She is very malnourished, her head was covered in small wounds, she
is very weak, and lying down most of the time due to lack of strength.
Our staff are looking after her attentively and spending time with her, reassuring her
and comforting her. She slept well last night, we are giving her medicine and trying to
encourage her to take some food, monitoring her carefully. It makes us feel relieved
that we have this kind of facility now to be able to rescue children like this little girl.
Please pray for God’s healing touch and comfort for her. “The LORD has become
my fortress, and my God the rock in whom I take refuge”. Psalm 94:22
Thanks for your prayers, Sundar
Sarah & Sundar and their boys travel to India on Monday for three weeks; Sarah will
be able to assess the health of this little girl then. Hopefully the care, medication and
prayer she receives over these next few days will heal this little girl.
Graham
Prayer request
Two clients are attending a CAP Discovery Break
this weekend. Please pray for them to have a
restful, healing weekend and encounter Jesus.
Thanks, Jill
PARTNERS, PROGRESS
& PRAYERS MEETING
TONIGHT - 7.30pm
PARTNERS -
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 conclude our Half Week of
Prayer.
LEFT BEHIND
AND
FORGOTTEN
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 & Wendy Hodgson
Sheep
Knitters…
Thank you so much for all the
sheep knitting that has been
going on for SPLAT! – they are
all brilliant and if you handed
yours in anonymously, I’ll take
this opportunity to say ‘Thank
you’ to you now. We now,
nearly, have enough large
sheep for everything we want
to do for Advent, so if you
could finish the sheep you are
on and get it to us, fabulous!!
If you have a yen for knitting,
we still need more small sheep
– so far the count is 21 and I’d
love to have enough little ones
to give to every child who
comes to our Christmas
SPLAT!, including our younger
helpers. I’m hoping that we will
need between 40 and 60
(although that could be a bit
optimistic - I like to aim high!)
So please - - STOP KNITTING
LARGE SHEEP and KEEP
KNITTING SMALL SHEEP!!!!
Also, please pray for us, that
there will be some great
opportunities to share some
kingdom life with our Lostock
Hall community this Christmas
- and that we take those
opportunities!
You are all superstars!
Thanks
again.
Miriam

John 1: 1-4
1
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word
was with God, and the Word was God. 2He was
with God in the beginning. 3Through him all
things were made; without him nothing was
made that has been made. 4In him was life, and
that life was the light of all mankind. 5The light
shines in the darkness, and the darkness has
not overcome it.
