See the Treasurer if you have any questions. House GroupChosen for ChangeNew series starting May 2008. Like it or not, you're living in the "me" culture. We all get caught up: looking after "Number One", cashing in on "your rights" while turning a blind eye to responsibilities. What about sharing, caring, belonging, teamwork, community? Are you ready to serve others instead of yourself?
This new series, called "Chosen for change - am I part of God's big plan?"
explores serving. And to continue serving when others tread on your toes.
Or you're not consulted when you should have been. Kitchen Help NeededSally will again be leading the catering team at the CPAS Ventures Holiday in Romsey
for a week in August. Extra help is needed to cook for the children and their leaders (70/80 people).
You don't have to be an expert cook, just a willing worker. The leadership team is a great bunch to work with.
See Sally for more details. Welcome Supper7.30 pm, Saturday 26 April 2008We invite anyone who is fairly new to the church to come and share in this welcome supper. We hope it will
provide an opportunity for us to get to know one another better. After new comers have signed up for the meal
the invitation will be opened up to every-one else. Industrial MissionChaplain David Tonkinson leaves at the end of March for a new post in Guildford.

GOALs in extra timeSaturday 3 November 2007at Basingstoke Baptist Church, Gershwin Road10.00 am - 4.00 pm An event for those 50+ years to explore ways to use God-given gifts and God-given time in Christian Service. GOALs in extra time is a programme designed to encourage and stimulate the rich potential of members of the church. The day conference seeks to present and illustrate exciting ways we can use our skills, experience and maturity, at home and overseas. We recognise that many who are perhaps over 50 still have so much potential that can be released into God's service today. When extra workers are needed in the building of God's kingdom we believe those in maturing years could make a valuable contribution, both locally and globally. This conference is a step towards that. The cost: £8.50 (or £15 per married couple) including a light lunch & refreshments. Please register in advance. Enquiries and Bookings

The Alpha Courseexplore the meaning of lifeStarted 19 September 2007 (finishing in December) Details... LifeShapesThis course has now finished Everyone hungers to lead a healthy, thriving, passionate life. But how? LifeShapes is a way to understand ourselves, our relationships to Christ and to one another. It is designed to equip the believer for Kingdom life by linking the discipleship principles of Jesus to memorable images based around 8 shapes. These are easy-to-remember tools that equip us in our quest to be disciples of Jesus. We will be exploring LifeShapes on Sunday evenings, starting 6.30 pm and finished by 8.30 pm. The format is a mixture of our minister speaking, watching DVDs and discussion. You are welcome to join part way through the series, and to come to as many or few as you can make.
