A big welcome to everyone viewing this blog for the first time. Its purpose is to give me (Nigel) a chance to share what's going on with us and the new church plant in Thetford.
Around 20 of us now have gathered under a calling and a vision to establish a new New Frontiers church in Thetford to serve alongside the existing Christian churches in the town. We look not to compete against or duplicate what's going on in the church scene but to bring a fresh flavour to the mix. Hopefully our church's flavour will be all about passionate worship, engaging biblical teaching, a proclaimimg of our gospel by word and deed, a display of Holy Spirit gifts and fruits, a practical compassion for the poor and a vision to participate ith enthusiasm with the church's ongoing calling to reach the nations for Christ. And probably other stuff too that churches should be doing that I've forgotten!
It's still early days yet and Glenda and I are trying our hardest to sell our house in Braintree (Essex) so we can move to Thetford. Our aim is to be moved by early new year. Can't wait!
We currently meet every Tuesday evening at The Bell Hotel in the centre of the town. We're normally given the Captain Mainwaring Room and we always enjoy coffee/tea and something tasty before we begin to share our news, worship our God, pray for each other and listen to one of us sharing from the bible. Visitors always welcome!
2011 should see us opening on Sunday afternoons once a fortnight. Our opening date is Sunday March 6th! More details in due course.
Thanks for dropping in and, if you're new to us, please drop us an e-mail - you can find the address in the "Contact" bit of this website.
