Carry the Can – Pentecost 2013
We are really looking forward to this year's Pentecost event in the town on Sunday May 19th. We are expecting 2,500 people to join with us on the Cornhill at 10.30am, as a witness to the town that Jesus is Lord, to join in worship together led by Ipswich Gospel Community Choir, and to hear Rev Sandy Millar preach.
We would like everyone who comes to bring with them one or more tins of food (not just vegetables but soup, or any foodstuff in a tin!) to be collected on the day, and placed on the steps of the Corn Exchange as a donation to the FIND Ipswich Foodbank. Also bring a fold-up chair if you need to sit for the hour-long service. If the weather is good, why not stay for a picnic at Christchurch Park afterwards as a church?
In the run-up to Pentecost we are also pioneering a 'Carry-the-Can Cleanup Campaign' in the Queensway area of Ipswich, headed up by the 'Noisy Group'. On Bank Holiday Monday 6th May from 2pm to 6pm, volunteers from local churches, community groups and businesses are joining together to clear unsightly bulky items of rubbish from the neighbourhood into skips provided free by 'Heart for Ipswich' in strategic locations. If this pilot scheme works we are keen to replicate it in other areas of the town. Come along on Pentecost Sunday to hear how this event impacted the community.
We have received £2,000 already and still require a further £2,000 to cover expenses of this event! So if you have yet to contribute can I kindly ask that you send cheques (suggested average of £150 per church) made payable to Hope Church Ipswich (with the word 'Pentecost written on the back), 114 Fore Hamlet, Ipswich IP3 8AF.
More details of the event can be found on the Heart for Ipswich website: www.networkipswich.net or on Network Ipswich Facebook page
Looking forward to seeing you there

EBA Assembly 2013 – Saturday June 22nd 2013
[Unfortunately, this is the Saturday of our Church Weekend]
Special Guest – Revd Ernie Whalley, President BUGB 2013/4
“Like Stars in the Universe – reclaiming Philippians for today’s Church”
Ernie’s vision for the Presidency is to encourage our churches to model the transformation the Living Christ brings. What does it really mean to be disciples of Jesus Christ today - both in church and within communities? Transformation arises when we allow the life of the God we worship to change our minds, hearts and actions
