north winchester community church

It hardly seems possible but it is actually our 20th anniversary on Sunday 9th October 2011. To mark this significant milestone we are holding a special service at the Weeke Community Centre at 10:30am. The guest preacher will be the Revd. Paul Gough, who was our first minister when the church was planted from Winchester Baptist Church back in 1991.

After the service there will be a lunch provided to which all are welcome (please let us know if you haven’t already that you are staying). We would also like to extend an invitation to all those who have been involved in the church in any way over the last two decades.

We look forward to a great service of celebration, and the meeting together of many old friends.

This Sunday 2nd October 2011 we are once again having a full English breakfast (starting at 9:30am) followed by a traditional harvest service at 10:30am.

You don’t need to bring anything for the breakfast but it would help (for catering purposes) if you could let us know you are coming.

At the harvest service there will be opportunity to give non-perishable food to be donated to the Night Shelter and Winchester Basics Bank.

Apparently there has been a surplus of home grown goodies this year so we are inviting people who have such a surplus to bag up suitable amounts and write a suggested donation on each one. After the service anyone can then browse and take what they would like, making the appropriate donation. The money collected will this year go to BMS.

The Littleton show this year is on the Saturday 3rd September, and as usual the four local churches, including NWCC, will meet together for a service in the show tent at 10am on Sunday 4th. So, there won’t be a service at Weeke Community Centre on 4th September.

Things will be back to normal though on Sunday 11th September where Paul Hayter will be preaching. You would be most welcome.
