Being Restored aims to be an informal spirit-led and inspired evening of worship, teaching and prayer, where those of all ages and experiences can grow in Christ, and freely express the works of the Holy Spirit in our lives as an encouragement to all.The music is mainly modern and the atmosphere relaxed.

Refreshments are served from 6.30 pm for a 6.45 pm start.

Our usual programme is to meet on the first and third Sunday of every month. This will be 1 and 18 February; 1 and 15 March; not on Easter Sunday (5 April) and then back to pattern from 19 April until last one on 19 July for now.

We would love to see you there.

CPAS Autumn Connected

With your continued support, our Leadership Development Team will be able to equip church leaders across the UK for local mission through resources, online webinars, and training courses such as the Arrow Leadership Programme and Leading Evangelism Learning Hub. Last summer we held 46 Venture holidays, welcoming over 2,400 children and young people across the country. We also held 10 Falcon holidays, providing over 240 children and young people facing challenging circumstances with a subsidised holiday. Your kind donation plays a vital role in making these life-changing discipleship holidays possible, giving children and young people the opportunity to grow in faith, build lasting friendships, and create unforgettable memories. Local church children’s and young people’s workers also find Ventures incredibly valuable, as it helps them accelerate and deepen their engagement in church when they return from their holiday.

The Vienna Connection

Take a journey to Vienna with a programme showcasing two of the greatest composers ever to live and work in the city: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Richard Strauss. Mozart’s overture to The Marriage of Figaro, one of his most enduringly popular operas, and his last symphony, the majestic Jupiter, widely regarded as one of the greatest symphonies in classical music, are beautifully complemented by Richard Strauss’ much-loved second horn concerto, performed by Phil Taylor, and the lyrical Overture and Dance Scene from Ariadne auf Naxos.
