CREATE:UPDATE Bread of life Hi Folks! hope you’ve all been having a good week and have been investing time in getting to know Jesus and eating the bread that leads to life! If you dont know what i am talking about you can listen again to last weeks sermon on our website www.createchurchcannock.co.uk/media. We have have very mercifully edited out the moment when the communion “Wine” was spilt all over the floor haha! We then had a fantastic time back at Keith and Lesley’s celebrating Keith’s achievement in being two years sober!

If you weren’t able to make the open mic this week at Caffe Del nino you missed a real treat! it was the best night we’ve had in quite a while with some new performances from create folk as well as the regulars and some seriously talented new acts who came for the first time. The next open mic will be the Christmas special

on December 10th so get it in your diaries. You can see lots of pictures and even some video on our website in the blog section.

Can you help? - We met after the service to have a quick chat about how we can best cater for our kids as a small church. The main action point that came from this was that we need as many volunteers as possible in order that no one has to do it to often. So would you be willing to help out? We are looking for volunteers for both Creche (0-2) and Bubbles (3-5) you’ll be given help and training and wont ever be alone. You dont need to be a parent - just willing! Emily Madsen has offered to help us get it organised so please get in touch with her to let her know if you can help.

Coming up… • Sunday - We are meeting as usual from 10am at Littleton Green Community School. Beth is

speaking this week continuing our series focusing on Jesus.

• Ignite planning meeting - For this of you that are involved with the running and planning of ignite there is a meeting this Tuesday at Amy Bedford’s house. She will have been in touch if you need to be there!
