1 Pitching Our Tent

2 Time to think BIG

3 We are MOVING Our Sunday Celebrations! We need space for our growing church family so from mid-september 2016, our services will be held at The Morlan Centre, Queens Road. Every Sunday 10:30am

4 Isaiah 54 1 Sing, O barren one, who did not bear; break forth into singing and cry aloud, you who have not been in labour! For the children of the desolate one will be more than the children of her who is married, says the Lord. 2 Enlarge the place of your tent

5 The instruction is to SING and make space before the miracle

6 Make Space 2 Enlarge the place of your tent, and let the curtains of your habitations be stretched out; do not hold back; lengthen your cords and strengthen your stakes. 3 For you will spread abroad to the right and to the left, and your offspring will possess the nations and will people the desolate cities.

7 The BIGGER Picture Larger space for our main meeting Room to grow Opportunity for a fresh season New impetus and vision Fresh opportunities to serve Better accessibility Recognisable, visitor friendly location Better disability access Some (limited) parking

8 Guy Ropes Prayer - the most vital thing to hold the tent together like an anchor 1 Chron 16:11 Seek the Lord and his strength; seek his presence continually!

9 Fly Sheet Praise and our awareness of who God is Alongside prayer = our covering in the storm! 1 Chron 16:8-10 Oh give thanks to the Lord; call upon his name; make known his deeds among the peoples! Sing to him; sing praises to him; tell of all his wondrous works! Glory in his holy name;

10 Pegs Patience The tent NEEDS tension in order to do its job! Eph 4:1-3 I therefore, a prisoner for the Lord, urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.

11 Poles (Frame) Partake (SERVE) Our team provide the framework to hold the structure together. We need everyone to take part. 1 Sam 12:24 But be sure to fear the LORD and serve him faithfully with all your heart; consider what great things he has done for you.

13 Pole Sleeves Partnership the pegs, poles and sleeves give the tent shape. Its vital work work together and uphold others Ro 12:5 so in Christ we, though many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others.

14 Inner Tent Presence We need you there! His presence is more important than anything Ex 33:15 And he said to him, If your presence will not go with me, do not bring us up from here.

15 Ground Sheet Provision we need to meet the needs in order to make it happen well Malachi 3:10 Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this, says the LORD Almighty, and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it.
