Please pray about getting involved in this - even if it's just to be there to chat to the young people that are around. This is an opportunity for all churches in Newbury to reach out to the youth of our town. If you can perform rap/hip-hop/rock/DJ mix/dance/mime etc or if you are trained in first aid, crowd control, or with sound equipment - then YOU'RE NEEDED!

12 July 2003 Steve Chalke

History shows us that it is all too easy to become isolated from culture or seduced by it. Either way faith becomes sterile and genuine Christian spirituality is lost. Steve visited Newbury and spoke on what he believes, as the founder of Faithworks, is the biblical model of spirituality, where intimacy with God and involvement in the community are 'joined up'.
