We are delighted to be welcoming Doug Horley (writer of 'We Want to See Jesus Lifted High')
and his team to Christ Church on Saturday 18th September.
He will be running two events for us that day:
A SEMINAR at 2.00pm until 4.00pm (cost £5)
"Worship for 21st Century Kids" - This workshop is for all children's workers (musicians and
non-musicians) and looks at the culture kids are growing up in, the influences they are exposed
to, and how we can take note of these to ensure we stay relevant to our children in our praise
and worship. It's packed full of practical ideas for keeping ourkids interest and includes a
very practical "How to" section on leading worship. It also looks at using pop music in worship
and making quieter songs work using British Sign Language. Doug has found this to be immensely
powerful in worship with children (and grown-ups!) and you will leave the workshop having learned
a sign language song or two!
Also...
A "GO WILD!" FAMILY PRAISE PARTY at 6.00pm until 7.30pm (tickets in advance, £3
per single / £10 per family group of four).
This event is open to all families, other Orpington churches and anyone else who would like to
join us for a time of family fun, praising our creator God, wild animals, puppet show and a Gospel
message. The whole praise party has a Wildlife theme where a fantastic animal handler brings
along a skunk, royal python, owl, lizard and tarantula! It will be a colourful multi-media
celebration that the children (and grown-ups!) will remember for years to come! Don't miss it!
This event is aimed at children aged 4 - 11 years and their families. All children must be
accompanied by an adult.
