At our Church Meeting last night we had a presentation all about www.easyfundraising.org.uk. This website raises funds for good causes by linking online shopping to them. We have registered Southam & Bishops Itchington Congregational Church as a cause, and now if you go online you could create a donation simply by buying a train ticket, or going on holiday, or getting a new pair of shoes. It won't cost you anything more than you'd normally pay. Let me explain...

If you click this link >> - or type http://www.easyfundraising.org.uk/causes/southambishopschurch/into your browser - you will see our page and a button saying "Join Us". Click on it, fill in the form and you have created an account so that every time you visit a retailers website and buy an item a donation will be made to Church. You can download a donation reminder so that if you forget to go via the Easyfundraising website you can still activate a donation. You can get an app for your phone, add your card details and much more. Take a look. It's all very secure, and your details are never shared or revealed.

If you have any questions you want answered before you go ahead This email address is being protected from spambots.

crossteach Warwickshire: Spring Term 1 Prayer Bulletin

Happy New Year! We hope you enjoyed a lovely Christmas break.

As we get stuck into 2017 please join with us in prayer as we give young people across Warwickshire the chance to hear and explore the claims of Christ through our work in secondary schools.

Praise God for

· A great Christmas term. We taught 19 Christmas lessons, did Christmas Experience with 10 classes and held a Christingle service with 250 pupils. There was a great response from pupils and staff and we are grateful to God for the opportunity to share the truth about Christmas.

· Volunteers. All of the things we were busy doing over the Christmas term would not have been possible if it weren't for the number of amazing volunteers who supported experiences.

· St Mary's church and their partnership with us for both the Christmas Experience at Campion and hosting the Christingle service. Thank you!

· Opportunities in Myton School – on the last day of term we met with a Year 13 class to do a Q&A session on spiritual experiences. We enjoyed the chance to discuss some big questions with the pupils.

· A restful break over Christmas, spending time with family and friends.

Please pray for

· The lessons this half term – we are covering topics such as:

o Christian worship – what is Christian worship? How do Christians worship? And why do they worship?

o Racism – what does the Bible say about Racism?

o Creation – looking at the creation story and the evidence for a creator God.

o War – what are the Christian attitudes towards war and what does the Bible have to say?

o Abortion and Euthanasia – what is the Christian viewpoint and why?

o Good, evil and suffering – why is there evil and suffering?

o People of faith – what is faith?

o Salvation and Redemption – what is Jesus' role in salvation?

· Wisdom and help as we plan and deliver lessons – we will be tackling some big topics this term which require God's wisdom and grace to ensure we answer questions honestly and respectfully.

· Lunch clubs – it has been lovely to see familiar faces at lunch clubs this week. We will be continuing with our series on where's the evidence? Please pray friendships will continue to build in these clubs and that the pupils will continue to engage with the topics and ask their questions.

· The fundraising event we are planning for March/April. We would appreciate your prayers for God to call people to give so that His work in schools may continue.

Finance Update:
We have a shortfall between income and expenditure so please pray that God will raise up new supporters to cover the need. We thank God for his provision over the years and pray that He will provide what is needed again this year.
