breathe

23rd February Hosted by the Cedar Cell

Starting on Sunday 16th March we are beginning our new evening service that we are calling breathe. Held monthly it will be an opportunity to experience a Spirit-filled time of worship, teaching and ministry when we can take our time to hear from God and share and practise using the gifts of the Spirit.

Easter special After a very exciting MiXXtra weekend away, we are now looking at the idea of running a MiXXtra service the idea of offering something a bit more for Springfield and MiX Young People to come to - where they can gather for some worship, a meal and some teaching. As a first step, Becca will be holding a brainstorming meeting on Monday 3rd March, at her house, 8pm. If you think this is something you feel a calling to be a part of helping with, then please do speak to Becca.
