Nine Basic Modules of Christian Healing
Starting Tuesday 4th June, for 6 weeks, from 7pm to 9.30pm, a series of 9 standalone modules, across 6 Tuesdays will take place, for those either involved in the healing ministry or those looking to get involved.
David Vickers says 'We will be exploring a diverse range of subjects from how to catch people who fall under the power of the Spirit, to does God want everyone to be healed, to knowing how to speak to sickness and see people healed, to how do I know I’ve heard from God and much more besides. No experience necessary - just a desire to want to know and learn'. Taught by a team from the Healing Centre - christian-healing.com - comprised of Randy, Ruth, Lisa, David & Sandra. The sessions are free but you will need to buy a copy of the course book at £5, available on the night. The sessions are made up of:
June 11th - Lisa & Randy: Listening to God (8) & Listening to others (2)
June 18th - Lisa & Sandra: Be clear for prayer (7)
June 25th - Ruth & Lisa: Nature & will of God to heal (1) and Knowing our authority (3)

United 19 at The East of England Showground, Peterborough
Week 1: Sunday 27 Jul 2019 - 09:00 to Saturday, 2 Aug 2019 - 23:00
(Our church is booking into 27 Jul week)
Week 2: Sunday 4 August 2019 - 9:00am to Saturday, 10 August 2019 - 11:00pm
What is United 19? New Wine gathers as a family in the summer to celebrate everything God has done in our lives, and to encounter him afresh together and take his blessing back to our churches and communities – to see the nation changed through the local Church. United is a space for our church network to spend quality time together, to pitch in as a family, sharing food, receiving and praying for one another, and supporting each other and our churches.
Experience impactful teaching, worship, a programme for all, friendships for life and transformational encounters with God.
With the nation in mind, we’ve been praying for several years for an opportunity to move our summer events to a more central location. Peterborough is near major transport routes and is more easily accessible for a greater number of people. The showground has excellent facilities, with room for us grow and, for any non-campers, over 1,000 hotel rooms nearby! Our prayer is that this event is bigger than the two weeks when we gather, that it helps resource and commission the local church. We want to acknowledge and welcome God’s Spirit at work in and through us to be sent, living what we sing and experience in our everyday. We’d love you to join us at the start of this new chapter for New Wine.
