& Events Faith and Football 28th November 2009
The Derby Diocese would like to invite you and
members of your church to be actively involved with the “Faith
& Football” event taking place on 28 November 2009
at Derby County Football Club.
Come and watch Derby take on Reading and
then join us in the Pedigree Suite for a light food and drinks
reception and hear a short, interesting and engaging talk from Steve
Miles on why we should be considering God, especially as the
Christmas season approaches.
Steve has worked with professional footballers
for many years on behalf of Christians in Sport and has a wealth
of knowledge and experience to share in a light-hearted, engaging
manner. For early bookers, there is the exciting opportunity to
have a stadium tour, including walking down the tunnel
to the pitch and seeing the changing rooms before the big
match.
This event will be a fantastic chance to build
stronger links within our local church communities as well as a
great day out for people of all ages. We would like to encourage
you and your church family to think and pray about who you could
invite along to this opportunity to both hear the Gospel and watch
a top football match. Perhaps someone who wouldn’t normally
step foot into a church but would be interested in this? Or maybe
the event could serve as a pre-runner to inviting a non-Christian
to one of your Christmas Services? Or people you would like to get
to know better in your church with the match helping to build up
relationships in Christ? We particularly want to encourage you to
use this once in a lifetime event to invite your non-Christian friends,
and not to use it as a day out for the church family. Please pray
carefully about who you could ask.
Tickets are £35 for two tickets.
If, after your initial purchase of two tickets, you need a single,
this is available at £17.50. There are concessions for under
21s and over 60s and reduced prices for season ticket holders. To
book your tickets, or for further information on prices, please
contact Tony Lormor on 01332 667598.
We really look forward to meeting you on the
28th!
