Welcome to another Sunday Online at Encounter Vineyard this weekend.

If you are joining us for the first time, a very warm welcome to you, we are thrilled to have you with us. If you regularly join with us online, thank you for travelling with us as a community of faith who seek to follow and practice the ‘Way of Jesus’ together.

We are now well into our summer term and we have BBQ’s, Church at the Farm and all sorts of other summer events coming up!  We are also in the season of Pentecost and a couple of weeks ago we began a series called ‘Revive.’ This series is looking at the pouring out of the Holy Spirit in the book of Acts and what that means for us today. In this series we are retracing the steps of the early movement of the church we belong to and what it means for us here in the Cotswolds.

In this season we have also entered into an intentional time of prayer and fasting that we are calling Revive 25. This is born out of a dream God has given us to see a greater renewal in the church and revival in the region. If you haven’t yet joined the journey, there is still time!

We are praying that we experience a fresh awakening during the season as we use the book of Acts as our prayer and mission guide. We also have various resources available on the homepage of our website to help equip us on the journey.

Today we have our morning and evening celebrations where Mark is bringing a message called ‘The Influential Church.’

We hope that you enjoy worshipping and celebrating with us today.
