CFC MEN | BREATH IN We are launching our CFC MEN's ministry with a curry night on Wednesday 3 May at 8pm in CFC East Belfast and would love you to join us. The night will be about looking at how we 'Breathe In' the presence of God in our lives as we journey through life's challenges and celebrations. There will be interviews, some great food and plenty of opportunity to talk with others, encourage each other and focus of having fellowship together. The night will cost £5 which will cover the cost of your curry dinner and an epic dessert too. Go to thisiscfc.com/men to sign up. We’d love you to share this with your friends in church and the other guys in your Connect group.

MISSIONS FUNDRAISER Bronwen Kearney, one of our staff team, is running her first marathon on Monday 1 May in Belfast. She is raising funds for the work of some of our CFC missionaries, Andrew and Lesley Dornan, and specifically for the Esther Project, which they are planning in Nepal. The aim of this is to train and empower women leaders in Nepali churches to rise up and take their place. This will include personal development and training in conflict resolution, parenting skills and relationships. If you would like to sponsor her, please visit thisiscfc.com/run.Thank you!

KIDS ACADEMY We all want the best for our kids! We want them to feel loved, be accepted, know their value and to grow. Kids Academy is about partnering with you to help provide that. We do this through teaching your kids skills, helping them to build healthy relationships and introducing them to Jesus in a safe and fun environment that engages with your kids at their level. To help us do this we combine the skills and expertise of trained professionals alongside the love and passion of experienced and dedicated volunteers to provide an atmosphere where your kids can thrive. Your kids will love Kids Academy and we think you will to. This term we are running Kids Academy in two locations:

East Belfast on Wednesday nights

South Belfast on Friday nights To sign up go to http://thisiscfc.com/kidsacademy/

KINGDOM COME The first command God ever gave humanity was to fill the earth and rule over it. It's a command that's found echoed in the prayer Jesus taught us, "Your Kingdom come, Your will be done". The will of the Father is that the rule of Jesus would fill every inch of creation, every sphere of influence and every tribe and tongue. For too long the church has withdrawn from this mandate and focused our energy, resources, skills and passions on church activities. The 'ministry' has been reserved for a select few who operate in church leadership. This was never the intention of Jesus. Kingdom Come is an evening where we aim to help you understand your call and anointing and to equip and release you as agents of the Kingdom of God. Education & Healthcare: Thursday 11 May, 7.30pm, CFC East

We would love to find some volunteers who could spare this time, and serve our community in this way on a rota basis. If you can help please contact bronwen.kearney @thisiscfc.com

TELL US YOUR STORY Everyone has a story. God moves in lives in different ways, from the most dramatic and complex situations to the simplest touch, the smallest voice. We want to hear your story. How did God first impact your life? What first brought you to church? What changed when God came in to your life? Perhaps you’ve been part of someone else’s journey?
