2 A Sower went out to sow... The next time you are in Central London, check out the front of the old Broadcasting House, Langham Place. You will see on the street facing portico the biblical image of a sower scattering seed. Lord Reith, the brains behind the BBC as a public broadcasting service, was influenced by his Christian heritage. He understood the value of communication and the power of the word. So he took his inspiration from the gospel and from Jesus parable about the sower who broadcast the seed widely. That remains a key task of the Church today. We are to communicate the message far and wide. And in a multiple media platform world, that means using the internet and social media effectively. Have a listen to our new Podcasting programme as the most recent example of that. But there is another form of communication which is more important than all of our intiatives in talking to others- speaking to God. Our next Prayer Emphasis Week provides us with a magnificent opportunity to do just that - broadcast our needs to the God of heaven. So do join us for that. The impact of our words to others is in direct proportion to our engagement with the One before whom all hearts are open and from whom no secrets are hidden. Peter Baker Senior Minister

3 podcast Dictionary result for podcast 1.a digital audio file made available on the Internet for downloading to a computer or mobile device, typically available as a series, new instalments of which can be received by subscribers automatically. As a church we have been producing podcasts from our Sunday sermons for years. That might be news to you? We also publish podcasts from the Monday Life Student/18-30s gatherings, which in recent months have covered subjects such as What does the Bible say about alcohol and Relationships #1 Dating. The Podcasting team is small but perfectly formed: Stu Bilsbrough has been producing his own podcast Crossed Wires: Living a Christian Life in a Digital Age for 2 years with co-hosts Benjamin Sillence and Oli Warner. George Sharpe is a journalist who works for Wessex FM and freelances at the BBC. Both Stu and George have one thing in common they are podcast fanatics! Over the last few months we have discussed how the Podcasting ministry at Lansdowne can be expanded to reach new and larger audiences. With that in mind from March this year Real Lives: Living the Faith in Bournemouth has been born. These monthly podcasts are interviews with real people sharing their real stories of faith, struggles and victories. Our hope and prayer is that these short (15 20 minute) interviews will inspire, encourage and challenge us as a community of God s people, but also be used with our friends and family to demonstrate the reality and power of God s love in our lives. Our first podcast in this series is with Helen Martin, our Creche Ministry Leader, part-time Administration Assistant and full-time mother and wife. Helen s been at Lansdowne since She grew up in a Christian home but lost her father when she was young. As a teenager, she had doubts and it wasn t until she had a car crash later in life that she realised what her faith meant to her. Do join us in sharing these journeys, we will be publicizing them on social media, Bite- Sized and in this magazine. Laura Wood Communications and Administration Controller Our first Real Lives Podcast will be available in March, keep an eye out for its launch in Bite-Sized and on our website and Social Media Channels

4 The Power of Prayer

5 In a recent sermon we were reminded that people rarely pray because they know they ought to; rather, people pray when they realise there s nothing else they can do! We get on our knees when we become aware of the task that we re called to. How can we share Christ with all those who don t know him? How can we grow in our holiness? How can we imitate Jesus in our workplace, or our home? How can we close the funding gap for our new building? How can we reach the complex communities of Townsend, Stroudon Park, and Lansdowne? How can we meet the deep needs of suffering church members with the love of Christ? How can we stand in solidarity with our persecuted brothers and sisters across the globe? The simple answer is: We can t! Well, we can t on our own. We can t without God. Of course, the good news is that we were never called to do any of these things without him. Whenever we become aware of our inadequacy, we should let it drive us to prayer. The history of the church is a history of God doing remarkable things, through unimpressive people, in response to prayer. When we fail to pray (and surely we re all guilty of this at times) it s as though we re saying to God, I can do it myself. Don t worry, I ve got it covered. Paul warns the church in Galatia not to slip into this kind of selfreliance. The Christians he writes to were saved by the grace of God of course they were. But now many of them were trying to stumble through their Christian lives under their own steam. So, Paul challenges them, Are you so foolish? After beginning by means of the Spirit, are you now trying to finish by means of the flesh? (Galatians 3:3). Like the church in Galatia, we need the Spirit of God. We need to pray. During the week leading up to Easter (Monday 15th Friday 19th April) we ll be gathering at different times and in different places to focus on prayer. I d really encourage you to come along to as much of the week as you can. Dates and locations will follow shortly, but let s get this week in your diaries and make praying together a priority this year. In the meantime, how can we be praying? Here are some suggestions from a short book called 5 Things to Pray for Your Church, each drawn from Ephesians 4: Thank God for the leaders that Christ himself has given your church, to equip his people for works of service (11-12) 2. Pray that we might reach unity (13) 3. Pray that your church would be growing more and more into the mature body of him who is the head, that is, Christ (15) 4. Pray that your church would not be tossed back and forth by the waves (14) 5. Ask God to help your church grow and build one another up (16) Miles Tradewell Minister

6 The Show Holiday Club "Roll up, Roll up!" was the cry of Barker Keith to our circus themed holiday club. Roll up they did! 107 children in all came along to 'The Greatest Show' this February half term. What does it take to put on an event like this? Well it takes 55 willing volunteers, about 600 beautifully decorated sponge cakes, 400 crafts, and months of preparation. Add to that a lot of prayer, some great Bible stories and complete reliance on God! You then have all the ingredients for one of the Greatest weeks! We had some of the greatest stories from the Bible; Creation, Samson, and Daniel and finishing with the Lord Jesus himself. The children listened intently, sang and danced enthusiastically and booed, cheered noisily in the drama. Our thanks to all of you who prayed daily for us, volunteered in any capacity, or donated cakes. We couldn't have done it without you! Keith Jewell gave really clear teaching and the children responded. We were thrilled that the Grand Finale on Sunday was well attended by most of the children and their families. An exhausting, and exhilarating week but totally worth it. Can't wait until next year! Amanda Peach Familes Team
