The POWERHOUSE returns

Last year prayer was at the centre of all that took place as right in the middle of the year, during the month of May a non stop prayer room, called POWERHOUSE was opened at the prayer chapel in the YMCA in Victoria Road, Surbiton. The results of that week or prayer were obvious for all who took part, with lots of brilliant stories, times of blessing and some wonderful unity. Then straight after the week when the prayer was transferred to the healing fields at Kingston’s Green Fair the result was huge, and in words echoing a story of Jesus, at times there was not enough “labourers” to pray with those requesting it!

The good news is that this year POWERHOUSE returns, once again leading up to the Green Fair. As with last time, there will be 1 hour slots that can be taken by individuals, groups of friends, church groups, prayer groups or house groups and lots of other issues can be prayed for. This year the room opens at 6pm on the 18th May and finishes at 6pm on Sunday 25th May. The Green Fair is on 26th May during which people will be invited to come and join the prayer team

BBC’s Passion

The BBC’s new drama series The Passion goes out in prime time on BBC1 this Sunday 16th March (Palm Sunday). This is an amazing series, it is high budget and brilliantly acted. Joseph Mawle plays Jesus Christ with panache. He isn't the wimpy "Gentle Jesus meek and mild" of the hymn, he is a bold, radical, exciting, charismatic man, who also loves all whom he meets, and constantly seeks to make people's lives better. His parables are delivered with wit and a smile, and he wrong foots the religious leaders all the time. I watched these films and thought if I was around 2000 years ago, I would have followed this man too! I really encourage you to watch this show, and re-live the greatest story ever.
