March 2010 Church Review
From the Rector
As a church, our desire is that we reach out to our local community in order to offer people the good news of Jesus. There are many different ways of doing that, and we are always looking for new and creative approaches.
One of the more exciting developments in this direction for us has been the establishment of the Crinken Community Gospel Choir. The Choir is an outreach music programme which seeks to connect with anyone wanting to develop their spiritual connection to God. They see themselves as messengers of the Gospel, singing words of life that they hope will bless those who listen, and also encourage them in their walk with the Lord.
The choir is coordinated by Sharon McKimm, Delwen Giles and Jonie Griffin. Marion Smith is the musical director. There are just over 20 people who have signed up at this stage. Membership is open to anyone who wants to praise the Lord in song, and they are interested in people who have technical skills and musical ability as well as people who can sing. The choir will be making their debut at a special Good Friday service that we are holding.
If you are interested in finding out more you can contact me ( or 01-28 24 391) and I will point you in the right direction

Crinken Kids
Crinken Kids have a busy programme every Sunday. Our pre-schoolers to 2nd class children have been learning about may different kings in the Bible since September. This Spring, the younger groups have started to look at the most important King of all: King Jesus. One of the children thought he was the most special king because ‘He’s magic!’ but in fact we are finding out that he is God’s son, which is what makes him a very special king.
The Thursday Clubs have been finishing up the Joshua Adventures and are getting set for our end of term party – to which parents are invited! It’s sure to be a fun event!

Young@Heart
Our Young@Heart group started off the New Year with a dinner party on Saturday 23rd January. 30 folk gathered in the hall to enjoy a sumptuous meal and an opportunity to catch up with one another after the Christmas break. February 28th will find us gathering in the hall again, this time after our morning service to enjoy lunch together. Our March event will be a movie night (yet to be decided!), again in the church hall.
