Did I mention Lurgan 2Nov?

Directions to Emmanuel CF Lurgan

It is on Wednesday 2nd November.8pm
Come down the motorway to the Lurgan roundabout and when you come up the slip way take the first exit on the left - should be sign posted for Lurgan. You will go past the Texaco garage and just keep going straight on that road till you come up into the town. (you will go over train tracks and eventually you should see the big church on your right). Come up through the town a little bit and you will see the Youth Information Point - YMCA quite modern building and it is there you need to take left down Castle lane. Just drive down there about 500 yards and you will see a big car park on your right and shops such as Tecso and Lidl - come into the park and drive up to the top and you will see our church sign - Emmanuel Christian Fellowship.

24/7 meetings

Hi guys
The meeting is on 2nd November in Emmanel church, Lurgan at 8.00pm.

For Southerner's interested in coming I am sure we could give you a roof over your heads but if unable to attend and want an update then let me know. While we are on the subject, I am aware that we know little of what may be going on in the South of Ireland so if you hear of anything let us know.

Generally, it will be a time to connect and hear from others what is going on with an opportunity to pray together and seek God's face. Feel free to forward the invite on to anyone you think it could apply to or who would be interested in coming.


The second thing to mention is the beginning of a series of "watch-nights". We are planning to have two nights of prayer for our nation before Christmas. We will see how it goes before deciding whether or not to make it a more permanent feature. The first is on Friday, 18th of November, beginning about 8.00pm and running through the night. The second on 16th of December. We are trying to ensure that we follow "Mannafest" and never collide, and would like the "watch-night" to be seen as a place for people all over the nation to come to. In the new year we would like it to then participate in a day of street-reach on the Saturday's.

Aware that plans are already in place to start something of a more permanent nature in Belfast, we have decided to go west of the Bann into the heartlands of Ulster. What better place than the "Land of the Young Warriors" Tir Na Hog? For those of you who don't know, Dungannon is the home town of the Irish kings, The O'Neill's. Tir Na Hog, was the O'Neills' anointing seat. Following that history lesson - it is decided that Dungannon Youth For Christ will be the location for Young warriors to rise up for the King of Kings!

The idea is to separate the rooms into designated areas. We will have a space for worship, space for multisensory prayer, space for creative prayer and for those who like a holy huddle - a space will be provided for them too! I'm sure there will be a space for coffee too.

It would be great if this captures people's attention and takes off to become a more regular rythmn of prayer but we feel that we must start somewhere - and to begin with it is important to pull together resources.

I'm asking now for people interested in coming along to help in the preparations of the evening. We plan to meet on Tuesday 18th October at 7.30pm. I will ensure we finish before 9.45pm for those travelling! Just what is it we are looking for?
Worship leaders comfortable in the spontaneous and planned worship
Creative and Artistic people (LOTS OF THEM).
Designers for publicity and the means to produce it,
Passionate intercessors
People with money who will gladly share it with us.
People interested in 24-7.
Resources
And anything else you can think of.

If you feel you would like to get involved or believe you could help in some way (or if you can think of someone who would be interested please let them know). Venue:Dungannon Youth For Christ.
