Have you noticed how many people in the Bible have encounters with God that cause lives

to be altered? Encounters that take people to places they never imagined that they would go. If we want to adventure into the very heart of God then we need to be prepared to venture out of where we are comfortable to the edges. To listen to Wills sermons on this theme, access them online at springfieldchurch.org.uk/connect/sermons-podcasts/ if you would prefer a cd, please contact the church office

emerge weekend
We are really excited to announce that we have organised a great weekend for Emerge from Friday 18th Sunday 20th January. This will be held at The Oasts in Northiam in Sussex. It is a beautiful place allowing space to roam, spend time together (and even go for a swim or play tennis!). There will be some great worship, great teaching and great times to spend discussing issues relevant to young adults. It is an opportunity to share in the future of Springfield. The cost is 120 and includes full board and lodging (and it is fabulous food and lots of it!). Help is available if it is needed. Talk, tweet, text or email Donna for more information.
