EVENING SERVICES

During the holiday period, there will just be one Service each Sunday at 10am. The evening service will begin again at 6.30pm on 24th August.

CAN YOU HELP?

We are trying to get some much needed maintenance and cleaning done at the Lighthouse this week. If you have an hour or two spare on Thursday night to help with painting, we would love to see you. Please bring your own tray and roller/brush. We only had 3 volunteers from Hilton Church last night. I'm concious that life is very busy for people at the moment as the summer holidays begins this coming Friday. I think we will need to reflect on how to be more effective at engaging volunteers from the congregation Some folk have suggested that Saturday would be a better day than a mid week evening. I have wondered whether we could actually do some volunteering together as a congregation on a Sunday when we are all together anyway. What a lot we could achieve with 200 plus volunteers! We could worship God by painting as well as praying together. 

 

Julie Keen had organised a concert - Music for a Summer's Evening - here in the church on Saturday, 30th June, from 7:30pm.  If previous concerts are anything to go by this will make for an excellent evening of entertainment.  All the proceeds are being split between Tiyanjane and Ndi Moyo Paliative Care Services in Malawi.

Dear Guys


I want to let you know that the first Scottish Regional Day of the national movement Christian Vision for Men (CVM) is taking place in Inverness this June as part of the aLive Festival. It takes place on Saturday 23rd June at Culduthel Christian Centre and will run between 9.30 – 4.00pm.

I am very excited about this event, it is the first of it's kind to be held in Scotland, and it is happening right here in Inverness!

The ethos of CVM is for local men to reach local men and they want to help you to do just that. The day will feature food, music, seminars, fellowship and teaching from CVM General Director Carl Beech and will address real issues men face in today’s world. I attended one of their regional days in London last year and can highly, highly recommend the event, it is a very relaxed, enjoyable day.

Can I PLEASE ask that you consider coming along, and to encourage as many men as possible from your church or ministry to come along to this worthwhile day? Tickets (which include lunch and refreshments) are now only £15 per person but there is a saver price of £10 for bookings of 10 or more! We are also running a buy one get one free offer, so you can invite a friend for nothing! Click here to get your ticket.

You can find out more about Christian Vision for Men at http://www.cvm.org.uk/ and the aLive Festival at www.alivefestival.co.uk and I have also attached a booking form. If you don’t think you’re the right person to “rally” everyone together for this could you forward on to someone who may be able to and therefore ensuring the men at your church don’t miss this.

Please can I ask you to consider supporting this special Men's Day, uptake has been very low so far, and it is proving hard to encourage Christian Men to come together for an event such as this, Your support would be really appreciated.

Thank You

Curry House for a Cause

This should be a great night.  Come along with family - invite friends - and be cooked for and waited on by the young people in the church.
The cause, just so you know, is getting all the young people down to Soul Survivor (hiring a minibus, petrol and so on) and making sure that they're fed and watered when they get there.  Our funds are still a bit short for this so come along and help us out!
If you want to book a table please call me on 01463 233310 or email me at jonathan@hiltonchurch.org.uk.
Thanks,
Jonathan

MODERATOR @ THE LIGHTHOUSE

The blog has been pretty quiet over the last few weeks. I will try and update it, with some of the things which are happening, over the next few days. Later today we welcome the Moderator of the General Assembly, Albert Bogle to the Lighthouse. We are also hosting an event for the Moderator in the Lighthouse tomorrow evening.
