Dear Friends:
Greetings to our global readership from our two Churches here in Cumbria. You
will receive a very warm welcome should you visit us if you are ever in our part
of the world.
Hotbird Satellite
We are happy to
tell you that we have had a Hotbird Satellite receiver and dish installed in our
home, so that we can see the Seventh-day Adventist Hope channel. These
programmes are on 24 hours a day seven days a week. They are excellent
programmes which include, Doug Bachelor of Amazing Facts, Mark Finley of It is
Written and Lonnie Malachenco of the Voice of Prophecy. At the moment the
Evidence programmes, with Dwight Nelson are being transmitted from Newbold
College via the satellite. They were on Monday to Friday March 1st
to 5th and 8th to 12th. We have videoed all
these programmes so that we can show them to you at a future date yet to be
decided or you can have them on loan to view at home with your family and
friends at your leisure.

They are
specifically
aimed
at the unchurched secular young people. These programmes are extremely
professionally produced and I am sure they will be very helpful to the segment
of our society at which they are aimed. There are a great variety of
programmes
that we can video and show which will more meet the needs of our friends and
family. At the moment the proposal is to show the Evidence videos in our
Carlisle Church on either alternate Wednesday nights, so that they do not
conflict with Prayer Meeting, or on consecutive Wednesday nights if we feel that
it can be incorporated into our Prayer Meetings. We are planning to start at
7:30 with a drink and biscuits so that we can socialize with our visitors and
make them feel at home. Then show the video between 8:00 and 9:00 p.m. This
is just a proposal which we shall discuss as a Church. However, as our
congregation is scattered you may feel that you would prefer to use them in your
own homes to invite your neighbours and friends who would
not necessarily be able
to travel into Carlisle
In the South Cumbria Church we have yet to decide how we are going to use these
videos. We can use the same patterns as are under suggestion for Carlisle, or
we are open to your suggestions.
