Another really enjoyable worship get together. We enjoyed an interesting story by Trevor Dennis, and spoke of coming to God in complete trust as that of a child jumping into his father's arms. We learnt to trust others with a falling back and being caught exercise (children were more trusting than adults and had less inclination to buckle their knees before being caught!) or being led blinfolded around the room to find a chocolate treat: our congregation challenge. Some really rousing songs followed by tasty treats ended the worship, but there is always time for a chat and another drink as everyone helps to put things away.
We particularly welcomed two ladies from the Methodist chapel, who came to show their support and to know what we were about so they could focus their prayers for us. Malcolm also came (minus dog collar) to sit back and enjoy the experience.
I noticed Su snapping away with her camera.... so we may well have a few pictures soon.
We give thanks for such a positive meeting and that despite her slamming her fingers in the car door on the way in to help set up, Asha after some fist aid bravely got up and played her violin both in accompaniment and on a solo.The power of prayer and God's healing is ever present!

A cosy sing-along!

A successful, highly informal, Vision Music took place today. An opportunity to learn the songs to be sung at the next meeting made for a convivial get together in our sitting room. We did just about all fit onto the sofas!
Everyone enjoyed it, so we will be making a regular feature of Vision Music.
Dates will be:
26th April- 17th May- 21st June- 26th July- 30th Aug- 27th Sept- 25th Oct- 22nd Nov-
This time we met at 2.30pm-3.30pm to fit in with a Billinghay Family walk straight after....was the time good? or do we want it at the same time as Vision Worship?
We will confirm the time before the next date!

A good meeting... 7 newcomers, a great multi medium table challenge, lots of worship songs, a thoughtful point of focus, some children's songs, concluding prayer and yummy children's treat (thanks for the Brioche Beth!)...

Early morning nerves... am

Feeling nervous! I know we shouldn't... but it's our first service as worship leaders... We can only do this in His strength, after all He was the one who gave us His plan for Vision... so we hand this to you dear Lord and pray that your Holy Spirit will empower us to praise you faithfully.

The first Vision ...pm

Welcome to Vision!

Thank you for coming over to have a look! want to know what we are? why we are here? Well hopefully this will answer a few questions:

Grapevine (a Christian celebration held at Lincoln showground at the end of August bank holiday weekend) is an awesome experience.
Whether you are into modern worship or not, you cannot fail to be overwhelmed by the sheer power and energy that comes from praising and worshipping our Lord with 5000+ Christians of all denominations…
This year Tom and I discussed much about our faith and what we felt God was calling us to do… not something we’ve spoken much about in the past, or for that matter, acted upon!
However this year was different, every time we asked questions of each other, the next Big Top meeting would provide the answer within the sermon!!
We feel there is a need for an informal, more relaxed form of worship that may be more appealing to young people and families with young children.
We are not asking for people to change their current worship pattern, rather enhance it by joining others,sharing and celebrating their faith together, openly welcoming newcomers.
As of this February, we will be organising a monthly, modern worship celebration. The format will be flexible, allowing people to contribute their own ideas.
If you are interested and want to find out more, want to get involved, have any ideas to put forward, please leave a comment!
