___________________________________________________________________

Durrington Community Church's leadership team would like to reiterate that we still not be meeting on Sunday mornings at the Village Hall

until we are advised that it is re-opening.

Our extra regular events such as

Tea & Toast, Midweek Groups and Cheerful Cuppa,

will continue to remain closed until further notice.

We do have our Tea and Toast Facebook group which you can join by request.

We continue worship and fellowship by posting messages,

including video sermons from the leadership team on our website and Facebook.

This is to help keep our fellowship together and supporting each other

and those in our community, during this difficult time

___________________________________________________________________

We would like to say a big thank you to Pete Smithies,

whose messages on the life of David have been excellent

and extremely thought-provoking.

All three sermons can be seen here in one compilation video

We have an archive of other recent video sermons available here

Stay Safe and God Bless

An Announcement from the Church Leadership

DCC Programme for 2020

Andy Lund, our lead pastor writes:

"Our programme in this year is going to be very exciting.
On Sundays we shall be looking at building the church, as we move ever nearer to moving our centre of operations. We all know that the church isn’t a building and we shall have a series of Sunday messages on building our fellowship together.

"Midweeks are going to be great too. On Tuesdays and Wednesdays, we shall be doing a course written by our friend Roger Morgan called Beautiful Lives. This course will run for at least 8 weeks and is a help to us in sharing our faith with friends and neighbours. This too is vital at this point of our development as God’s people locally."

Please do consider joining a midweek group, even if you haven’t before.

Our midweek groups meet on

Tuesdays at 10am and 7.30pm

Wednesdays at 7.30pm.

Choose a time to suit yourself but do come.

There is a course booklet which is only £3.50. We have a number so please ask for one and pay your contribution to Pam. If this is a problem at the moment just let us know and we shall arrange for you to have a copy.

Groups start on 7th and 8th January.

Don’t miss out.

Members of our church provide a breakfast club for parents and carers on Thursday mornings

Some of our congregation are part of an Open the Book team

that goes into the village infant and junior schools on a monthly basis

The New Building

We have been praying consistently as to whether acquiring the former Durrington Free Church building was the Lord’s will for us. The leadership has now been informed that we have been gifted this building.

Praise God!

Our overseer Brian Meardon has said:

"Praise our Lord for His hand upon all that is taking place.

Jesus said that He only did that which He saw His Father doing.

We pray that the Lord will show you how this sign will develop and flourish."

We must emphasise that there is a long way to go but we need to praise God for this answer to prayer.

We have made no moves yet but we want to begin to ask for an input from you for your initial thoughts about how best to use this facility.

We need to read the relevant paper work first but it would be useful to know what others are thinking. We need prayerful thoughts.

We hope to meet as a leadership soon and discuss the whole development, but clearly it is something that everybody can contribute thoughts to. So please pray and do give us your thoughts.

Street Pastors are operating in the Amesbury area now and need volunteers and prayer support.
