Teaching Theme for February and March during Lent

A study following the thoughts of John Ortberg, pastor and author, who encourage us in the belief that God is near and knowing him is possible for everyone who wants to feel his presence: “The teaching of Scripture is that God really is present right here, right now…. The Spirit of God is available to you and me: flowing all the time, welling up within us, quenching our unsatisfied desires, overflowing to refresh those around us.” Ortberg’s suggestions—to believe that God is in everything, to seek him in the daily and mundane, to learn to recognize and encourage God-inspired thoughts, to look for him in the people you meet and to obey his promptings—though not new, provide us with a series of ideas and activities to begin to change the way they see God in their lives.

Exultimus Choir in Harmony

Chamber Choir Concert, Wednesday 12th August, 7.30 pm, in St Andrew’s Church.

Exultimus, a chamber choir based in Newcastle upon Tyne will be giving a concert in St Andrew’s Church, Coniston on Wednesday August 12th.

Each year, this close group of singing friends, visits a different part of the British Isles, usually part of the celtic ‘fringe’, enjoys a sociable holiday, and gives a concert for the local community.  Notable expeditions have been trips to Brittany and Tuscany (for our 10th year). A couple of years ago in Orkney, one of us, Jane, sprang her wedding on us! We rose to the occasion with a specially composed piece by another of our members, Philip, and an impromptu ceilidh and wedding march.

Earlier this year Exultimus enjoyed taking part in a chamber choir master-class given by Paul Spicer, the eminent conductor and expert on English choral music.

The programme of the concert will include motets, madrigals, part-songs and folk-songs. To mark the various musical anniversaries this year we shall be singing some Mendelssohn, Purcell, and Robert Burns. Also featured will be some rounds, Vaughan Williams’ Three Elizabethan Songs, and several powerful short motets by Victoria and Monteverdi. We also plan a couple of surprises with a local flavour!

On Sunday 9th August, Exultimus will sing Choral Evensong at St Andrew’s, including Stanford in C, and his motet ‘Coelos ascendit’.

Exultimus are mostly members of Cappella Novocastriensis, a 40-voice chamber choir based in Newcastle upon Tyne

Week of 5 July, St. Andrew’s Church

The Old Testament prophets write of someone coming along after years of neglect, dusting off some old scriptures, and reading them to entire congregations.  Perhaps it’s time for us to dust off the scriptures and just read them in church for anyone who is passing by. 

Any fellow Coniston church members are welcome to come in and read.  To sign-up or take a look at the schedule, sign in as a guest at the following link.  Contact Mark on 41262 or Pamela on 41997 for the password.  

It is thought that we will begin with the book of Jeremiah (as written in The Message) then time permitting, move to Luke, Romans and finally Revelation. 

Happy Reading!

Tuesday, 9 June, 19:30 at St. Andrew’s Church, Coniston

Hazel was positively on fire last Tuesday evening with news of this DVD.  For a moment we deliberated on whether to carry on with Daniel or listen to How Great is Our God.  Ultimately we decided that more than just our home group should get the chance to see this so we will show it live in the church on Tuesday night.
