Bible Studies with CMM

Hi Friends

For the next three Monday evenings at 8pm join with us for a Bible Study! Our friend Dave Gidney will be giving illustrated talks based upon his recent book TORN CURTAIN – Bible Studies for House Groups.  Dave is a lively and excellent teacher and we know you will find these sessions interesting and inspiring.  They will last between 30-40 minutes and conclude with a song from the musical. As with our other video premieres there will be a chat forum where we can share thoughts as the video progresses, and the video will continue to be available afterwards if you were not able to join us at 8pm.

The link for the first study (9th November) is https://youtu.be/2O9Jy7MST0k  

Despite the latest lockdown restrictions meaning our buildings and “live” services are suspended, it’s really good to keep in touch with each other, and to know that the church hasn’t closed - and neither have we! 

Each Monday I’m planning to go LIVE AT FIVE on Facebook with some thoughts for the week. Follow my personal page on Facebook to see these.

Every Wednesday 6-8pm (repeated Thursday 11am-1pm) myself and the rests of the HEART & SOUL team (Debra Mayo, Dave Stansbie & Graeme Russell) present interviews and music to lift your heart and bless your soul.

Christmas is coming (you don’t need  me to tell you!) and we have many resources available, for example:

• Six Christmas musicals now! THREE WISE CAMELS has joined the others:  STARGAZERS, WHILE SHEPHERDS WATCHED, SIMEON, THE INN CROWD and AWAY IN A MANGER
• Two collections of seasonal material: ROGER JONES CHRISTMAS COLLECTION, SONGS OF CHRISTMAS
• Peter Lawrence’s classic SQUIDY BOD AT CHRISTMAS – excellent for all-age worship
• Alison Fuggle's excellent collection of poems: WITH ALL THE TRIMMINGS

Whether you purchase for yourself or for Christmas presents we pray these will be a real blessing, and we really would be blessed by your custom.  We have seen a 90% reduction in sales since lockdown began.

Don’t forget – THREE WISE CAMELS Premiere on Friday 11 December at 8pm.  You can be part of it, singing or playing - Annie is coordinating the administration for the collaborative video, so send her an email on annie@cmm.org.uk and she'll be in touch with all the details.

God bless,

Roger
