Other Events of Interest

There are several events arranged by organisations that are not officially affiliated to or associated with PACT but whose aims and activities are in line with those of PACT and we are pleased to list them here:

Susanne's Blog

Susanne Irving is the Editor of The PACT Newsletter and is also interested writing herself. She has run the Christian Writer's Group in Petersfield and has now created a Blog that contains her writing. Susanne says:

I felt inspired to start a blog with the spiritual reflections I have collected over the years (and am still getting). I am quite nervous to be so exposed, but God reminded me that I have always wanted to impact a large number of people (thousands!) through my writing - and her is my free opportunity. (I have also been inspired by those of you who have reminded me that something I have written in the past has encouraged you, and sometimes still has an impact.)

After I received my first comment on one of my pieces from someone I don't even know, I thought it's time to let friends and family know what I am doing... Let me know what you think...

Lots of love, Susanne

Jonathan Thompson's Concert

Jonathan (and friends) held a concert at TPS recently raising funds for Cecily's Fund - here's Jonathan's report:

We had a great time on Saturday night and it was good to see so many people turn up to The Studio@TPS in Petersfield. I’m pleased to say after the cost of Studio hire and technical support etc we raised a healthy sum of £500.00 for the Cecily’s Fund!

This is excellent, especially in a time of a recession. Folk were willing to come out on a blustery, damp evening and support the making of live music for a truly fantastic cause.

The Big Church Day Out

Click to find out more about Big Church Day Out 2010BigChurchDayOut is all about us coming together to celebrate our faith, no matter what our church or background. The inaugural event at Wiston, West Sussex in May 2009 attracted 15,000 people, making it the biggest one-day Christian event in the UK.

BigChurchDayOut is about people and faith, music and worship, activities, families, and just being together. There's something for everybody, from a nice cup of tea with a Chamber Orchestra, to high energy worship, from story telling to touch rugby, from bouncy castles to quiet prayer...it's all about being ‘church' together.

Our aim is to encourage and inspire people to press in for all that God has called them to do, both locally and further afield. We also seek to provide a relaxed environment to introduce friends and family who have little or no experience of church.

29TH MAY 2010 STANFORD HALL LEICESTERSHIRE

30TH & 31ST MAY 2010 WISTON HOUSE WEST SUSSEX

GATES OPEN 11am EVENT 2-10pm

What a day it was: on a beautiful sun-soaked Sunday last May there were 15,000 people drawn together in the most amazing celebration of all that is good. We worshipped, we danced, we jumped, and topped up our inspiration. But most of all, we were all together as one huge family - this was our BigChurchDayOut.

And this year, we'll do it again. But it'll be bigger, wider, bolder and even better.

BigChurchDayOut is back for 2010. Each day the lineup includes:

It promises to be an incredible event as people of all ages and church backgrounds gather together again to celebrate the faith that's bigger than all of us.

SAME PROGRAMME ALL 3 DAYS-TICKETS ON SALE NOW - EARLY BIRD ENDED ON 26 FEBRUARY

We want as many people as possible to attend the BigChurchDayOut in 2010. With extra days, we’ve added more capacity to the event - having said that, all tickets are 'subject to availability'. In other words, we only have a certain number of tickets in each category and when they’re sold, they’re sold! This is especially true of the Early Bird and Group discount tickets.

The BigChurchDayOut 2009 was a total sell-out and this might well happen again in 2010. We strongly urge you to book early, especially if you’re part of a group. In 2009 more than 70 church groups missed out at the last minute because the event sold out.

Whilst we advertise a 'Gate Price', this doesn’t mean there will be any tickets left to sell. In 2009, there were no on-the-day-sales and some people were disappointed.
