Letter to the SPers
Greetings Potential SPers
I have been unbelievably bad at getting these Soul Purpose emails out so apologies. However everyone else has been unbelievably bad at getting signed up so I'm owed like, you know like, a thousand apologies from you all.
It's slightly shocking to realise that Soul Purpose starts in just 30 days time!! So get signed up, like YESTERDAY! Seriously now, in case you haven't quite caught on to my point and some of you are a little bit slower on the uptake than Simon Iddon is to do any real work, but really GET SIGNED UP. The capitals is like shouting, just to make my point.
We have some great projects coming on board for everyone to tackle including all the usual fun stuff of fun days, street cafes, litter picking, BBQs, gardening, teenage drop ins, and transforming our urban landscape (that's painting murals)! Oh yes plus pumping your bows, painting your faces, dancing till your legs fall off, eating a lot, walking around in the prized possession that is the SP08 T-shirt, making new mates from other churches. And there's more - awesome worship, inspiring teaching and life changing prayer. Why would you be anywhere else?
Here are some key things you need to know and some things you need to do:
SIGN up. (I'm a bit shouty today, sorry)
May 2nd there's prayer for Soul Purpose and the Noise in Bayston Hill at HTMB - get along to it on the Friday night. Find Corinne Ashton on Facebook and ask her for more info. So Pray. Please. Lots.
Here's another thing to pray about - on the Sunday night by popular demand TTP are doing another gig since the awesome night last year. We're also going to preach the good news of Jesus Christ. So if you have a friend you'd like to hear this amazing news, that is an amazing opportunity. We'd really love it if there was loads of non-Christian young people there from all over Shrewsbury because we believe there will fewer by the end of the night. That's not because we're going to do anything nasty to them but because we believe they'll want to follow Jesus by the time they leave. How awesome would that be?!
So be bold, take your fear in both hands and shove it in a bag , then go out and invite your mates. Here's the deal, free food, great music, two different but equally relevant stories of the difference Jesus makes and then a short talk on 'why you're a fool not to follow Jesus' or some other catchy title that I haven't thought of yet. In my own church we're seeing people give their lives to Christ this year more than ever and it's so great. Do not miss this chance - invite your friends.
Sign UP. (Say it with me now, quiet 'sign' really loud 'UP'. Oh yeah.)
Pass this email on to everyone you know, plaster it all over the place. Hassle your church leaders to pray for it and support it.
We want this year to be bigger, bolder, brighter (well not the T-shirts they're still Black, White or Grey) and better than ever. It quite honestly won't be the same without you. Let's bust a 100 and make it a weekend with effects that will last eternity.
See you there
