WHAT KIND OF PEOPLE?
We spent the last term looking at the person of Jesus.
TITLE TEXT
We’ve marveled at his compassion, been astounded
by his magnificent parables, and stood in awe at his

incredible miracles. What a Saviour!
As we start 2022 it’s time to get practical. A glimpse
A transformed people Romans 12:1-2
of Jesus can’t leave us unchanged. What kind of
people do we want to become? How do we grow?
A humble people Romans 12:3-8
We all have aspects of our character we would like
to improve but scripture calls us to something more A loving people Romans 12:9-21,

possible through the gospel.
Over the years (starting in 2015!) we’ve taught

ONLINE ALPHA COURSE, STARTING TUESDAY 25TH JANUARY
We believe that everyone should have the chance to explore faith, ask
questions and share their point of view. Alpha is a series of sessions exploring
the Christian faith. Each talk looks at a different question around faith and is
designed to create conversation.
We’re running an online course using zoom, at 8pm on Tuesdays.
Book your place with admin@christcommunitychurch.co.uk

Life can be hard and at times unexpected. Sometimes we feel overwhelmed and unable to cope with
the load we are carrying. Collectively we’ve been through a very strange couple of years, and it’s
affected us all in different ways.
Terry Virgo wisely said ‘In overcoming stress relaxation is important but renewal is vital. What
we sometimes treasure as relaxation provides no renewal at all. Stress can be replaced by
lethargy.’
This is such a helpful reminder that relaxation and leisure activities are not enough to cure us when we
are stressed and depleted. We need renewal, we need Jesus.
With all this in mind Christine and I are going to be running a special course for people who:
Know they need Find themselves spiritually depleted and
refreshing and feeding. not able to give out very much.
It will take place on Thursday evenings at our home and we will enjoy social time together, work
through some teaching material, and have time for ministry. The first session will be on
Thursday 6th January 8pm. Book with rob@christcommunitychurch.co.uk
