                                                Seeking God’s Blessing for Colchester

 

We have been praying about a possible festival for 2010. Following several meetings, times of prayer and discussions together we have decided that, though we continue to work together under the “Hope in Colchester” banner, there are no plans for a large scale festival at the moment. Please continue to pray for united Church in Colchester.

CO1 latest newsabout the project to open a town centre meeting point for young people in Colchester and what you can do to help. - Look out soon for up to date news on the opening of this exciting venue.

CO1 is the local Christian charity renovating Holy Trinity Church, near the library in Colchester, into a youth venue and café for the public.  It will be able to host a variety of events including live music and be used for projects by other youth or community groups in the town centre.

Street Pastors is a Christian project with teams working in about 70 towns and cities across the UK.
The Colchester project has been running since December 2007 and is just one way in which the churches of Colchester are working together with other partner organisations to make Colchester an even better place to live.
We're on the streets in the town centre to offer practical help or just someone to chat to, so if you're out on the town on a Friday or Saturday night. Come and say, Hi.

Colchester’s Street Pastors are at work in our town centre offering help to those in need. Would you like to help, if so please contact Tim Abbott on 07855 902827 for more details and training opportunities.
