Local Story

Eastbourne

Churches in Eastbourne have pushed aside theological differences to become a positive Christian witness in their community. Hope 08 was an example of how the churches are working together on a practical level with a litter clear-up. A telephone hotline for vulnerable and elderly people to call, if they n... more

Sutton

  

We ditched the van (and sadly the orange chair) for our morning in Sutton, and piled our stuff into Joel’s car instead.  An early morning jaunt to Surrey gave us time to guess at the response of Jason Clark’s crowd to Joel’s message!

Jon F, who also starred on the ‘Alltogether with the Evangelical Alliance’ Premier Christian Radio slot with Joel the preceding Friday, welcomed us and showed us to some prime location square footage in the corridor for set-up.  Minor hitch as an underage builder fell into the foundation of the cathedral, but Mega-Blok is quickly reassembled.

Thanks to Dave et al any technical hitches were averted during the presentation.  A fairly full house were surprisingly shy at asking questions to start with, but the conversations afterwards more than made up for their reticence!  It was also great to have a number of leaders pray for Joel and the rest of us as we travel around the country, and as Joel transitions out of the Alliance.

Somewhere between Norwich and Sutton (that’ll be the week’s stint at CRE Sandown then) we lost 9 – NINE! - Sharpies, and the headless one is truly dead.  It seems the splendour of Esher holds more appeal than the back of a white van for those permanent pens.  However, by the end of Sunday morning we must have got the brickcount up to almost 700!  It’s getting proper walls and everything.  Some really inspiring comments which you can read for yourselves if you attend a venue – but we’ll try and put some up on the web too.

And those books went like hot cakes – cleared us out!  Joel was also speaking at the evening service, via the magic of film.  Hope they enjoyed it.  We loved it. 

Next stop, the delights of Cymru…

Cardiff - 22 May

Multimap let us down at the crucial moment, so spent a few reflective moments in a new-build residential estate lay-by, before making a bad decision and adding on 20miles to the journey to our accommodation. More...


Swansea - 21 May

We LOVE Swansea! After 4 hours on the M4, we finally saw the Lankyfella sign (or some such Welshness) which hailed our imminent arrival at Cornerstone Church. More...


Norwich - 7 May

We check out of our rooms, drive 3 hours to Norwich (a fine city), and feel like we’ve entered a time warp as we walk back into the same rooms. More...


Leicester - 6 May

Sun shining once again as we hit the M1. Slight hitch getting stuck down a wrong dead-end, but finally check-in our hotel opposite the Walkers Stadium. More...


Walthamstow - 27 Apr

Walthamstow - 27th April - Our third date finds the team making our way by bus, tube and car to Emmanuel Christian Centre, Joel’s home church! Situated in the recently renovated Walthamstow Academy, the church facilities are spotless, with an open-air floor plan and colourful turquoise decor. We arrive to a warm welcome, greeted by Pastor Doug and organiser Chantelle. Doug’s children are just as eager to help, piping up that they will escort us to the refreshment room at our every whim!

Eastbourne - 24 Apr

Eastbourne – Day two on the Big Agenda for Change Tour. The morning of day two has seen the beautiful spring Canterbury sunshine give way to a rather autumnal mist and drizzle but the team is not dispirited, still buzzing from the previous evening’s great success. More...


Canterbury - 23 Apr

Well we're off! The good people of Canterbury proved to be gracious guinea-pigs as we launched the tour at St Andrew’s URC. An uneventful trip down the surprisingly sun-drenched A2 brought Alliance staff, an oversized orange chair and a baker’s triple dozen of Sharpie permanent pens to the historic city. More...
