Live Service this Sunday

Party in the Wilderness

Live this Sunday 10th May at 10.30am

This Bank Holiday weekend is about a time of celebration – and hopefully you have found some way to share in this, from the most simple to the most grand.  Partying is important to God – heaven, after all, is described on more than one occasion in the Bible as a ‘wedding banquet.’

At the same time, we’re in the midst of Lockdown and therefore not able to celebrate with the freedom we would have wished.  But we look forward to a time when we can.  This theme of now, and not yet is also a very theme for the people of God through biblical history, characterised best perhaps in the great story of the “feeding of the Five Thousand.”

So, we’re going to have a ‘virtual’ “Picnic on a Hillside” this Sunday (10th May).  For this you will need:

  • A Candle – as always – for our Easter light
  • Something red, white and blue – could be bunting, could be a coloured in Poster (see the New Creation website or Facebook page), could be a scarf or Union Flag 
  • Some Flat or Unleavened Bread – could be Pitta Bread, a Cream Cracker, some Matzo, or Kirsty will kindly put up a recipe making your own Matzo Bread at home (very simple).
  • Some Fish (of fish substitute) – not everyone likes fish, especially at 10.30 in the morning – but try and think creatively what you might use as an alternative, veggie or otherwise.
  • Something to drink – Squash, Ribena, a glass of wine, or good old water.

Look forward to seeing you Sunday. Much Love, Matt.

“Jesus the Good Shepherd”

Thank you for all the comments about the Agape Service we shared last week.  For this week’s service you will need:

  • A Candle – for our Easter light
  • Something Woollen – a jumper, a scarf (or perhaps some item of clothing that you are especially fond of, like wearing, or just feel comfortable in)
  • Something Wooden – a piece of wood, or something made of wood – a kitchen spoon or spatula, whatever.
  • And a Glass of Water (a favourite drink) or something nice to eat.

Look forward to seeing you Sunday (3rd May) at 10.30am.

If you’ve not joined in before, its very simple and you DON’T need to be a Facebook user.  Go on the New Creation website, click “Church@Home” and then “Worship@Home” and there you’ll find a link  “Click Here” that takes you as a guest to the New Creation Facebook Page – scroll down to the “videos” section.  

If you would like help in maybe having a go at this for the first time, or if you have any technical difficulties, just send Kirsty an email on kirsty.bowles@newcreationchurches.org.uk or phone 07871 513151.

Thanks. Matt

Agape Meal to accompany this week’s live stream

On Sunday during the live streamed service at 10.30, streamed from our Facebook page, Matt would like to encourage us to share in an Agape meal to emulate what most likely happened on the road to Emmaus, the story we have been looking at in the blog this week.

To take part, you will need to gather together a few items:-

  • A candle
  • Some bread
  • Grapes or a piece of fruit
  • A glass of water

Matt will be circulating some accompanying liturgy tomorrow.

If you’ve not joined us for the live service before or do not have Facebook, don’t worry. You do not need to be a Facebook user to access our page – the link above will take you straight there. Alternatively, the service will be posted on this page later in the day.

Here are a few links to songs and videos to continue your worship this morning.

We are very lucky to have a special performance by Liz Chappell’s family, recorded for us today to enjoy.

Hymns and Songs and other links for Palm Sunday:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TRjde0PyeiU&feature=youtu.be

Original – recorded live by Graham Kendrick back in 1996 at Glastonbury Abbey:
https://youtu.be/7VeQrWmvCms

Modern:
“Hosanna” – Reggae version by Christafari
https://youtu.be/q26IcpUOwJs

The original song was by Hillsong (2012) with Lyrics:
https://youtu.be/oY0y3pWCrtA

“10,000 Reasons” by Matt Redman – Live in Times Square, New York
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fo–H_yx2vg

Video:
YouTube Audio book version: “The Donkey that no one could ride” read by the author Anthony DeStefano:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n8j8802Mw-0
Classic Video of Jesus’ Triumphal Entry (from the film “Jesus of Nazareth”):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IbWurHq1bCQ

Inspirational, strong video by young people “Spirit Juice” for young people (not suitable for the very young):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y3Vor55BoE0

A light-hearted, but well researched look at the importance of Palm Sunday see – The Skit Guys (some of you will perhaps remember them from other videos):
https://youtu.be/0rdrcHLIs5c

For those of you who love a distinctly Jewish interpretation of Scripture – see Doug Eaton’s interpretation of Palm Sunday, referring to Ezekiel 12 rather than the usual Zechariah 9:9:
https://youtu.be/ACjo5BJ7JWk

Films to watch over Holy Week:
“The Passion” – by the BBC (not to be confused with “The Passion” by Mel Gibson – which is pretty violent). One of the best films to depict the events of Holy Week.
“Jesus of Nazareth” – an epic, and a bit dated now, but Robert Powell as Jesus and Lawrence Olivier as Nicodemus are amazing.
“The Case for Christ” – a true story looking at the life of a reporter who sets out to discover if the resurrection is true.
