Weekend in Southend 10-11 February 2024

Sue, Trevor and Annie travelled from Coventry to Southend-on-Sea on Saturday 10.2.24 to meet up with Simon and Linda. On Sunday, it was Simon’s Induction service at the Burnham-on-Crouch Baptist Church, where he is the Community and Digital Pastor.

On Saturday, we went for a walk along the sea front.... dogs included!

The weather was a bit damp and overcast but we enjoyed the exercise.

Dinner at Thomassi's restaurant, where a blend of British and Italian cuisine was served. There was a good selection of Ice Cream Sundaes.

Trevor enjoyed his 'nutty chocolate sundae'.

Annie & Trevor performed a caterpillar sketch about 'transformation'.

Amazing artwork!

REAFFIRMATION OF FAITH SERVICE 10 NOVEMBER 2023

One of our CSS members, Linda, was reaffirmed into the Christian faith. A special service took place on 10th November in the Wesley Chapel at the Coventry Methodist Central Hall, led by Revd Stephen. It was a wonderful occasion and was supported by several members of CSS, in person and via a Zoom link 💓🙏

Gathering and Prayer Walk on 17th September 2023

Five of us (plus Honey the dog) went on a city centre prayer walk on Sunday. We met a nice young man who joined us for coffee and cake afterwards. Others from the CSS team held the fort at the drop-in session at Open Doors Café, where passers-by popped in for refreshments 😊🙏🍰🥤

Open Doors Gathering on 3rd September 2023

We had a lovely 'Open Doors' gathering this afternoon at Warwick Road café, followed by a Zoom session, led by Jonathan, talking about 'inclusiveness'. In the first photo, Janine and James are holding up some artwork, started by Mary at our weekend gathering in June. People have added to it and the artwork is finished! 🎨 📷💻🙏🎶

We've had a few prayer walks since this blog post... I'm just not very organised or up-to-date! 😕

Here are some photos taken by Simon during our prayer walk on 20th August 😀
