EVENTS TO PLAN FOR ... AT BLACKWATER!

Happy Spring! The BlackWater Cafe in Bristol, NH is buzzing with interesting plans for the next month (April 2009)!

Coming up during Holy Week is the following: "In Remembrance ... A Good Friday Worship Gathering" at 7:00pm (Friday, April 10th). Remembering Jesus' love sacrifice will be the focus. Songs of worship and praise for the King of kings as well as a deep time of remembrance will fill the gathering. Plan to meet the Lord God in a fresh and exciting way. The day after Easter will be the continuing COFFEE CONNECTION.

The Coffee Connection series: "The Church has Left the Building" continues on Monday April 13th at 6:00pm. Mike will lead the discussion on Being the Church and the importance of our mission.

Bring a friend! Get connected! Visit the BlackWater Cafe: "The Healing Place" on Main Street (just before TD Banknorth) in Bristol, NH. See you there!

Merry Christmas from All of Us at BWC!

A CHRISTMAS EVE PRAYER!

O God our Father, you have brought us again to the glad season.....when we celebrate the birth of your Son, Jesus Christ our Lord. Grant that his Spirit may be born anew in our hearts this day.....and that we may joyfully welcome him to reign over us. Open our ears that we may hear again the angelic chorus of old. Open our lips that we, too, may sing with uplifted hearts.

Glory to God in the highest,.....and on earth, peace, goodwill toward all; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

COFFEE CONNECTION COMING NOV 3rd!

The Church has a MISSION and it's spelled out through Jesus' teachings in the New Testament. That MISSION is often misunderstood in the American Church today. This will be the focus of our 1st COFFEE CONNECTION on Monday evening, November 3rd, 2008 at 7:00pm at the Blackwater Cafe in Bristol, New Hampshire.

You might call it the Election-Eve Connection around the Coffee Pot ... but there will be NO POLITICS ALLOWED in this setting! Instead, Mike Tremblay will lead off with a simple explanation from the Scripture of the MISSION and show an intriguing video that is sure to stir some Non-Political Discussion centered on being missional.

The COFFEE CONNECTION is a joint venture of NORTHPoint Network, Sunday Night Connection and Blackwater Cafe and will be an ongoing monthly session focusing in on missional issues.

For more info, contact Mike or Chuck. You can also call the NP Network hotline at 603.786.9334 and leave your number - we'll call back asap! Blessings and love in Jesus!
