The Vicar writes...

Dear All,This last year has been a year when God is taking us onto a new level. The new events in the year include Awardsfor the Learning Departing and also the County Chairmans Award for CCS for making a difference in society.Bishop David Pytches, and Peter Gladstone of the Church Army both on separate occasions in Septemberdescribed Christ Church in the same words a secret treasure . David Pytches said also that he wants what ishappening here to be more widely known as he thinks it will bless the rest of the UK.

Over the year we have experienced a greater depth of presence in our worship, and have valued Rob parkerswillingness to go the extra mile in pursuing God personally, as well as teaming up with June Lee to form a midweek filling station for all who desire Gods presence . We have also this year further cemented with the Dioceseour Network strategy to reach the people of Bridlington with the gospel and in so doing have welcomed Dave andDebra Chislett to West Hill. It has been great personally to be able to spend more time at West Hill during theinterregnum and to see that congregation continue to grow, and there is a great team there whom God isexpanding into the community at West Hill in many ways. A thank you to Dave for all he is starting to do there.

New developments this year include a successful pastoral training course which Polly Hart led for counsellorsfrom the wider region. We have facilitated a ballet/dance performing school in the Key Centre, and transformedthe garden to a place where it was part of the Bridlington in Bloom bid which achieved a silver award this year. Wehave also been given responsibility for St Andrews, Ulrome which has grown under Chaz and Margaret Walkerfrom being closed to a regular congregation of around 20. The 11am service at Christ Church has planted out twonew Network churches (Youth Church with Rob & Jo Parker which incorporates freestyle under Alistair Robertsonand Play N Do Church with Andy & Moira Jefferson) .The 11am church service itself has transformed into a newshape whilst Trax still operates successfully teaching the children of junior age within this service. The newservices have been matched with remarkable growth as all three services have welcomed new members eachweek since it started in its new format. God is indeed adding to our number those who are being saved. It isMartongates fifth anniversary at the end of November and we are delighted that the commitment of thiscongregation has brought about a Christian presence in that part of Bridlington which is benefiting many.Applegarth continues to provide a place where the Bridgeway church meets. This is a church where people canbelong in a secure pastoral context whilst at the same time welcome friends and neighbours to join us. In additionwe have been part of supporting the Yorkshire Prayer Conference which is being repeated next year and is nowbeing rolled out to Derby, Lincoln and possibly Lancashire next year. Thank you for all you have done which hashelped to bring about so much of Gods blessing through us.

We are now at a point where we are cautiously seeking to develop conferences so we can welcome to this county

International speakers who can bless this town and nation. We are seeking to combine a National Conferenceministry with our local Network, so the DNA of our church life shows through in this bigger setting. This is a bigtask and in 2010 will be an experimental year towards that end. This is still at its early infancy, but please pray forthis development.

During the year we saw Darron Lawer leaving as our Youth Worker, and we are grateful to those members of thecongregation who at short notice have been willing to shoulder parts of the job Darron was doing . The plan is toreappoint a Youth Worker in 2011 to help bring the Kingdom of God amongst young people..The Boys Brigade goes from strength to strength, and has grown in both size and quality. So many parents inBridlington support this because they recognise the good it is bringing to their son. The Christ Church Youth Clubmeets on a Friday and is currently heaving in numbers. Andy Gradwell the leader of the Youth club writes Inrunning the Youth Club at Christchurch I want it to be a place where young people can meet in the knowledge thatthey are not going to be judged or condemned for being themselves. A place where those with low aspirations and

self esteem can see an alternative future, have access to events that raise their self esteem and show them thatthey can achieve. A place where they can safely express themselves without ridicule, can seek advice on issuesthat they may feel unable to ask other adults. Or yes and have fun! All of this within a Christian environment.A bigthank you to Andy & Mandy and the Team.

It has also been great to see Ben Coupers recitals and music taking a place of mission in the town. Thank you toPaul Lowe for his vision and implementation of the Christian music festival, and also to Anthony Clarke for all hehas done in Christian musicals this year (and the passion play next year in the town)We look forward to all that God is going to do this year. The task before us is great and we need prayer every stepof the way if we are going to take our place within Gods plan for the region as well as Gods plan in the town. Prayfor me and the others meeting at Bawtry next year, and also the new partnerships with leaders around the nationwe are exploring in order to bring about different initiatives to facilitate the kingdom of God in this land.

The curate writesSince you have accepted Christ Jesus as Lord, live in union with him. Keep your rootsdeep in him, build your lives on him, and become stronger in your faith, as you weretaught. And be filled with thanksgiving.Colossians 2:6,7 Good News Bible

You have accepted Christ Jesus as your Lord. Now keep on following him. Plant yourroots in Christ and let him be the foundation for your life. Be strong in your faith, just asyou were taught. And be grateful.Colossians 2:6-7 CEV

So then, just as you have received Christ Jesus the Lord, continue to live in him. For youhave been rooted in him and are being built up and strengthened in the faith, just as youwere taught, while you overflow with thanksgiving.Colossians 2:6-7 International Standard Version

Whether we have been a Jesus follower for one day or 50 years, these verses speak an eternal truth to us all. KingJesus, the Messiah, the anointed one, the enabled one is who we need. I like the different shades of meaning thatthe different translations give us. Consider the first from the GNB. Live in union with him. How do we live in unionwith anybody? Well, it includes talking to them, understanding where they are coming from, sharing their hopes,dreams and ambitions. The same is true for living in union with Jesus. If we really do that with people, then we willgo where they go too. Its the same for us and Jesus. The CEV brings that aspect out keep on following him. Lifewith Jesus is never static although in him there is also rest and peace.

Keep your roots in him is evocative too and reminds us of Psalm 1:1-3. The picture above speaks of that. Thescriptures are fulfilled in Jesus, He is the wisdom of God. Living his way is the only way really, and as we do it, weare putting roots into him.

Being stronger in our faith has a couple of aspects. One is learning to trust from our experience of him and one isactually knowing and understanding the apostles teachings (which involves doing them) more and more. And thoseteachings are about Jesus and all he achieved and who we are in him. Which naturally leads on to thanksgiving.The poor are made rich, the guilty set free, all sinners given a fresh start joyfully. Lots to be thankful for and wecould add the good things happening among us.

What are his hopes and dreams for each of us and the places and people we meet, work with and love? And for theworld? How will we find out? Prayer, fellowship worship are key ingredients. It would be a mistake to think this is

centred in us as individuals. Its about Gods kingdom coming on earth NOW. Being in his family, in the familybusiness, of one heart and mind and whole hearted at that. And what a project to live for! There isnt anything betteror bigger.

Back to the verses. The more we are rooted in him, the deeper the roots go, the stronger we become, the more fruitcan be grown. Big leafy plants have to have good root systems, so do we in Jesus. Lets immerse ourselves in him,together as well as secretly in the private place of prayer.

The Lord make His face to shine upon you.God BlessDave

Mike Gowen writes I was reflecting on the Bawtry conference and was struck by Isaiah 9:8, which I came to inmy daily study: The LORD has sent a message in Jacob and it will fall (i.e. come to pass) in Israel. The prophet isspeaking to an apostate society (the northern kingdom), rather like our own; and he begins by saying, look whatGod has said to you already, and then see how it will come to pass.

That set me thinking: What has God been saying to England over the past century that really stands out. Two of themost formative Christians in that century for England were Smith Wigglesworth and Billy Graham, the one a pioneerin signs, wonders and healing, and the other in evangelism. The Smith Wigglesworth prophecy of 1947, which wasreproduced in September Network News, seems highly relevant to me. Much of what he said has come true, so wecan expect the rest to come to pass too. The lesson here is: Hold on to word and spirit together, because this isgoing to usher in something really powerful.

I remember reading a history of Billy Graham, that during his first Haringey crusade of 1954 they felt God saying to

them that if they stuck at it they would see revival break out in Britain in an unprecedented way. Interestingly, hedoes not mention this in his autobiography. What he does say, and what is history, is that they gave up after 3months because they were so exhausted. And there was no revival, even there was a considerable move of God.The lesson her is to pace ourselves not burn ourselves out like Evan Roberts did in the Welsh Revival but not togive up because it seems too hard or too exhausting this may be just the point at which the breakthrough isabout to come. I think these two lessons are going to be very important for us in coming years.Blessings, Mike

Equipped To Live (ETL) -Living Life in Todays World

Transformation not just information

Equipped to live is open to anyone. It is designed to help us live lifein todays difficult world where there are so many choices andseemingly few pointers for life. We think this course will be relevantto everyone who wishes to find the keys for living and making the most of life.

What we will learn will be enfolded throughout our life and ETL aims to give tools that we can use for a life time.The main aim of ETL is not information but transformation. Over a period of monthly sessions you will have theopportunity to explore what the Bible teaches about different subjects including

Shaped for Significance; How has God made me? Why has He made the way I am? Understanding Godsoriginal design unlocks our understanding of what we are here to do.

Hearing Gods voice; What does God sound like, how and why does He speak to me?

Overcoming Strongholds in my life; We all have areas we know we could improve in Sometimes a new yearsresolution is not enough. How do we identify negative strongholds in our thoughts and habits and how do we get

free of them?

Living naturally supernatural lives: an exploration of body soul & spirit and how they interact and how I canrelease a spiritual dimension into my life

The power of my words; Speaking positive words release peoples potential speaking negative words imprisonsthem in cage of low expectations. God creates new things by helping us to use new words. Discover the power ofblessing and how to overcome the negative words spoken over you

More than "pennies from Heaven": God has plans for my life and He plans to release finances to achievethose plans. Find out about faithfulness and generosity keys to Gods provision for you

These titles/subjects are provisional and are open to change. There will be a brief introduction to Equipped ToLive as part of the of Releasing the Kingdom 2 Conference Fri 9th & Sat 10th Oct 2009 and continuing onSaturday 7th November 2009 with follow up monthly sessions.

Youthie

Youth ChurchAt the beginning of September in the Key Centre the Christ Church Youth Service was birthed. In the 2 months it hasbeen running we have seen God's presence fall gently but with power. The result has been an encountering of God byboth the young people and the team. There have been prayers of healing from kids as young as 10 and manycommitments to Christ.In a recent service we saw young people committing themselves to pray regularly as well as making offerings of therelives, hearts and time.In the middle of one service the holy Spirit came like gentle rain with many moved dramatically by the reality of thepresence of God.The youth service has also birthed the new youth band and it is really exciting to see this group of young people

growing not just as musicians but as worshipers. They have helped lead us into some very powerful times of worship.The youth team have been encouraged by what God is doing and would ask that you would continue to pray that thekingdom of God comes to the youth of this town!

Midweek serviceAre you in need of a touch from God? Do you need to come into a place of greater intimacy in his presence? Are youhungry? Thirsty? needing refreshment or a time of praise and worship during the week?Then why not get under the waterfall of Gods presence and join us at the Christ church mid week service, Tuesday

nights at 7.30 pm in church.

The Bridlington Half Marathon

On a beautiful Sunday on 18th October at 12-00 noon I ran the Bridlington half marathon (13.1 miles)along with 800 runners. The view across the bay from the leisure world was at its best withFlamborough cliffs reflecting the suns rays. I am sure we all felt good. The gun sounded and we all setoff, up Limekiln Lane, along Wheatley drive, turning right along Martongate up to Flamborough. It is soeasy to get caught up with the pace of the race, The first four miles are critical as to how you finishthe race, and when everybody else is overtaking you, you need something to tell you that you are

doing o.k. I run with a heart monitor which gives me feed back as to the pace I am running, I then canmake a decision if I can sustain the pace I am going till the end of the race.

As we follow Gods calling on our lives we also need something to monitor our hearts, that is why

prayer is so important, that is why reading the Bible is so important, that is why listening to God is

crucial, when many others are dashing in front of us, and wonderful things are happening to others we

need to be patient and accept that God knows what is best for you, when everybody else appears to be

running the race so effortlessly listen to your heart, not what you see around you, monitor your own

condition, that is the key to finishing the race, pace yourself so that burn out will not leave you

exhausted.

If anybody knows the road from Flamborough to Bempton and the first part of Bempton lane it is all

very steep. I arrived at Flamborough in pretty good shape (4 miles) and prepared for the steep climb

that lay ahead, I ate some jelly babies and drank some water (Jelly babies are a good intake when

running) before I started the steep inclines which is the most difficult part of the run. Mile markers

helped to let us know how we were progressing, how encouraging to see the 5, 6, 7 mile markers come

and go. We all need encouraging on our journey, we should prepare ourselves for when the going gets

tough: Psalm 23 Even when I walk through the darkest valley I will not be afraid for you are close

beside me (N.L.T.) The word even brings so much comfort and reassurance and hope for us all, for

although we may not recognise the Lord in difficult times He is with us, Your rod and Staff protect and

comfort me.

The 8 mile marker was such a joy, after all the effort of climbing the hills, we viewed Bridlington bay,I am sure you all have seen it from this viewpoint, but when you have struggled to reach the top and

the wind is blowing into your hot face the sense of Gods awesome goodness, creates within you a glow

knowing that you have stayed the course, never given up, proceeded along the journey. James Ch 1 v

2 -4 Dear Brothers and Sisters, when troubles come your way, consider it an opportunity for great joy.

For you know when your faith is tested your endurance has a chance to grow. We do not test out our

fitness running down hill, it is tested when running up hill. Our faith isnt tested when the going is easy

it is tested when the going is tough, and we should welcome this testing with great joy.

Its all down hill now, the 10 mile marker outside Headlands school, people are struggling with cramp

and fatigue; through part of Sewerby park - I am encouraged when Margaret and Bryan (her Grandson)

are there to give support. Out onto the sea front, the finish in sight only two more miles, I am on

schedule for my best ever time for this distance, I am in the last 100 still running but I have done the

best I can. Cramp is coming into my legs but I am overtaking some who maybe started the race to

quickly. The home straight - I am running past the Expanse Hotel; Angela and members of my family

are cheering and encouraging, Julia is there Ken and Anne and their son John (who completed the race

in 1 hour 50min) all cheering. The man on the loud speaker system saw my race number looked it up

on the list and encouraged by calling out my name, as did others who do not know me or knew my

name. The race was run in my best time. Did I fail because I didnt win? No. Did I fail because I

came in the last 100 approximately? No. Do those who know and love me need to look up my name on

a list? No. When you have run the race and did of your very best, do you think the Lord will need to

look up your name on a list? No.

He knows every hair on your head, and He is with you always wherever you are on your journey

through this life.

You need Pace, listening to the Lord, Patience, to wait on the Lord and Perseverance, through trusting

in the Lord.

Roger

News From Trisha Wicks

Hello again from Maridi. Here is the latest news:

ABNORMAL EYEMy little kitten Pickles was born with an abnormal eye. However due to prayer God seems to have healed it and thereis no sign of a problem now.RETIRED ARCHBISHOP AND FORMER BISHOP OF MARIDIDr. Joseph Marona died on 18th September and was buried in Juba on 25th. He has been a great support to me. Prayfor his family especially his wife, Mama Eunice.SECURITY AND ELECTIONSElections are due in April 2010 and already there is an increase in insecurity in many places in Southern Sudan. Praythis does not escalate.DISCIPLESHIP TRAININGThe Following Jesus Part 1 Course I wrote is now being used in all 58 parishes in the diocese. There has been somevery positive feedback. Between now and Christmas I will visit all 8 Archdeaconries to monitor how it is going. Part 2is ready in English and we are about to complete the translation into our local Arabic. ELECTRICITY AND WATERThe main street in the town now has street lights !!!!!! Electricity should reach my house during the first half of 2010.Pray for Bob, an American, who is in charge of the project. I hope to have piped water to an outside tap before then.NEW DIOCESESNzara Diocese has now been created out of Yambio Diocese and is about 100 miles from Maridi. Samuel Enosa whois only 29 years old will be consecrated Bishop on October 25th. I expect it to be added to the dioceses for which I amresponsible for the TEE Programme. Also there is to be a new Area Diocese called Bahr Olo which is inside Maridi

Diocese. Another young man will be consecrated Bishop of Bahr Olo. Praise God for the enthusiasm, energy and vi-sion of our young Bishops of whom there are many. Could UK follow this lead?YOUTH CONFERENCEWilson is arranging this for November 16th - 20th. There is no outside funding so they hope to manage with just localcontributions. Wilson would appreciate your prayers. The main topics will be Leadership and Healthcare. CMS SUPPORTThis is the time of year when I really pray for God's provision for the money CMS needs for my Personal Support(which is what keeps me here). At present the total given so far is down on last year, but I realise many churches giveat the end of the year. God has provided every year so far.PHONE CALLSNow I have a mobile phone, I occasionally receive calls from UK which is such an encouragement. The number is00249917258143. Remember, after you change your clocks this month we will be three hours ahead of you.ADDRESS FOR PARCELSFor those of you who send me parcels there is now a quicker way for them to reach me, as the small MAF plane canbring them by air to Maridi. The address is:Rev. Canon Patricia Wick - CMS Maridic/o MAF, PO Box 1, Kampala, Uganda, East AfricaNote: This is for parcels ONLY. Please send letters to my PO Box 845 in Arua in Uganda as usual.MA STUDIESThese are going well and I am about to submit the first of the four assignments I have to do by next May. CARI would like to place an order for a new vehicle before the end of 2010. Pray for God to provide the finances needed ifthat is to happen.DISCIPLESHIP BOOKSI am trying to build up a library of Discipleship books - both about Discipleship, and also actual Discipleship courses.

Do any of you have access to any books you could send me? HOME LEAVEDue to my MA studies it will be difficult for me to take five months off for Home Leave later next year. CMS haveagreed to let me divide my Home Leave into two parts. When I have completed my MA Summer School in early July2010, I will then stay in UK for another two months to visit half of my Link Churches. The other three months of it willthen be taken in mid 2011.

God bless you all for your ongoing support.

Update from Dan ClarkeHey all, this is my first months newsletter. Since I last wrote my last newsletter after my firstweek, I have been extremely busy. I have been continuing going to the prison at least once aweek, something I still feel to be incredible. With some of the boy's faith inspiring me. Since Ilast wrote a couple of the lads have left the prison after being in there for about 6 years, and Ihope to keep in contact with them now they are out.

I have also carried on helping out at the We are Giants football at a school, which is aChristian based coaching session. For a long weekend we travelled to Durban for a couple ofevents we were hosting. It was a long 8 hour journey in the minibus but on the day we arrived

we as a team lead a youth event, which I lead some Icebreaker games for the introduction.The night went well and we developed a good relationship with the church there.

The next evening we hosted a TUG event ( The Ultimate Goal) telling the church about our aimsin 2010, with the opportunity of more than 2 million fans coming over for the World Cup, withmany big screen events combining football and Christianity. On the Sunday, two of us from AISwho had stayed with two guys from a charity called Lions Raw, went with them to see a few oftheir projects, and helped coach in the Valley's near Durban, which is in complete contrast tothe rich city. There we taught football to the kids, but also attended a church with all of them, inthe language of Zulu, which I didn't really understand, but it was a good experience anyway.The next day we went to an orphanage and workshops for people in the Valley who don't havethe opportunity to go elsewhere for education.

Since being out here I have joined a Youth Cell, that meets every Tuesday, with a load of guysfrom the Church here that I attend. As I mentioned in the last letter, we have hosted anotherFreestyling event. Football Freestyling is basically trying to do as many little skills and kick upsand tricks as possible, keeping the ball in the air. (for more info on this type football freestylinginto youtube).This is very popular over here and we have used this freestyling as a competitionto bring the locals to get to know our charity and our message. We hosted these events inshopping malls, and hundreds of people attended and took part, even more watched. Howeverthe main reason for these events are to raise awareness of our biggest event of the year, inOctober our Match For A Day event, with endless possibilities. For more information on thisevent, visit www.justgiving.com/dan-clarke or www.justgiving.com/match-for-a-day or join thefacebook group match for a day.

BBQ's are very popular out here (they call them Braai's) and last weekend I had 3 Braai's in 3days, one at church, one for the youth and one at my host family's house. I won't complainthough, :) I love my BBQ's. This last week was very busy and full of work. Me and anotherintern who arrived this week (Jacob) did a lot of preparation for a tournament we hosted, thepreparation was very long and sometimes tedius but necessary, and eventually all the work wasfinished just in time before the teams arrived. There were 10 teams who took part, 2 fromNigeria, 1 from Zambia, 1 from Durban, 1 from Port Elizabeth and 5 here in Pretoria. It was a 4day tournament with 5 of the teams staying with us at a campsite. In the evenings we lead littleservices, with songs, sermons and testimony's, which was amazing seeing all the guys dancingand singing. For some it could be for the first time they were worshiping God, and I am prettysure some gave their lives to Jesus this week. The 4 day tournament was very tiring and somedays were as long as 18 hours long, with all the setting up to do for each day, as well as

packing away. So I woke up today after having nearly 13 hours sleep, which was very relaxingand so what is left of today I have off. Please keep me in your prayers,Dan
