During the spring of 2006, we were approached by Narborough Congregational Church http://www.narboroughcongregational.org.uk/ and invited to put on a stand at their 2nd Party in The Park. The church had a 3 year vision, and after the success of their first year, they asked CMA to join with them. Elaine Taylor from the church initially asked if we could provide a child entertainer or a clown. We just went as we were! Party in The Park 2007 was the third of the 3 year vision. We arrived about 10.30, and there was already a hive of activity with all the stalls and the stage being assembled. We were warmly welcomed by the church and allocated our pitch. CMA members Jen Crane, Les Jones, Colin Hewitt, and I soon had the stand sorted, and we committed the day to The Lord in prayer. Several motorcycles were on display (always a good crowd puller), copies of our Biker Bibles, various CMA tracts, and copies of The Jesus Magazine and Jesus video, kindly given to us by Central Avenue Christian Church, Wigston. http://www.caccwigston.org.uk/welcome.htm Paul Gosling, from the Christian band ‘Brave’ http://www.braveband.com/ who were playing on the day, came over for a chat and expressed a desire to get involved with CMA at a biker event. Check out their web site for their up and coming gigs. The party officially started at 12.00 and soon the activity was attracting lots of people. We were joined by others from CMA, Dave Parks, Ian and Lesley Cameron, and friends of CMA Andy and Irene. Finish time was 17.00, but rain meant we finished early with the organisers pulling the plug at 15.15. Despite the weather we were greatly blessed with many conversations about Jesus and making Him known to the lost. Although not a biker event, 12 Biker Bibles were taken by those who ride, or to be given to friends or family members that do, and at least 12 of ‘The Jesus Magazine’ and ‘Jesus video’ to non Christians to help them understand the Good News. It is always surprising when meeting other Christians at events like this that many have never heard of CMA. Prayer and support is essential for our ministry and we thank God for you all. Party in The Park 2008? We will just have to wait and see what plans God has.
