PRAYERS LAST NIGHT AT CENTRAL PENTECOSTAL CHURCH

A big thank you to Maurice Moore and the folk at Central Pentecostal Church for hosting this month's prayer meeting and making us feel so welcome.  A good time of fellowship, worship and prayer together.

Next month we will be in Staveley - venue to be arranged.

Everyone is welcome to come along to Central Pentecostal Church 7.30pm Tuesday 26th March as we gather to pray for the Newbold area.  Please join us as we pray for the people who live, work and worship in Newbold.

CAN YOU KEEP A SECRET?

Have you ever thought you would really like to have been there when one of these 'flash mob' events happened?  Giving you the heads up that you can be right in the middle of one right here in Chesterfield this Easter weekend.  Just after midnight, as Easter Sunday begins, singers from the Chesterfield Philharmonic Choir will appear at the top of Corporation St and burst into the Hallelujah Chorus and then merge back into the crowd.  It promises to be quite a spectacle.  If you are a singer and you already know the piece join the choir for a quick run through behind Central Methodist Church at 23.30 and you could take part.  What greater way could there be to begin our Easter celebrations than to declare over Chesterfield that Jesus is King of Kings and Lord of Lords for ever and ever! Amen
