Newcastle Deanery Synod - What is Church? Fresh Expression

I Drove up to Newcastle on Friday night and stayed with Church Army friends, Stephen and Lydia. Saturday morning was spent with Stephen and steve( anothe CA officer) sharing with the Deanery the History of the well at St Barts. It was good to reflect and see where community is being formed in Langsett, in relation with the church and its profile.
We started to debate "What is church" that was fantastic watching the deanery debate whats really important, and there were many differences as we asked them to put in order and what would they take out?.
Eucharist - Baptism - Fellowship - Outreach - Priest Led - Church Building - Worship - Bible study -Sermon - Prayer.

WHAT WOULD YOU DO?

We then looked at 2 examples of Fresh expression.

It was a fantastic morning - more of this should be done in our churches to see what church should look like in todays culture.
