The Power of a Month Off

Hello all, it’s “Powerpoint” here… how are you?

It’s been a wee while since anything read-worthy was posted here; you might argue something “read-worthy” is yet to be posted here. That being the case, this will be no exception! Powerpoint April has been and gone and it was a good’un I’m sure you will agree. Sacrifical Living and Sacrificial Giving you say?!

ON the second note, you may remember we took a collection and also said we would use the money taken at the door, double it and make a donation to the Dalit community in India. These guys are the untouchables in India, treated as less than animals and despised by those around them, yet there are millions of them. Well, we managed to raise an incredible £1500 all-in! So thanks to you guys for being so generous and let’s not let the support stop there. Check out this link http://www.uk.om.org/html/pr_indiaappeal.html and continue to support this worthy cause and movement through prayer and – if you feel called and able – through giving. Together, we really can make a difference.

So May will be Power Pointless… or Powerpoint-less is maybe a better way to look at it. We’ll miss you guys, but you will be ensconced in the midst of exams and won’t have time for people like us. SO, work hard and we will be praying for all of you with (important) exams. Then, come back, feeling refreshed, recharged, revitalised and let’s make June Powerpoint the best ever… or at least good! It’s entitled The Point of Power and Dave Richards from Ps and Gs (St Paul’s and ST George’s) will be speaking… now there’s an exciting prospect!

We really hope you have been enjoying Powerpoint this year, it was great to see some old faces last month who we’ve not seen for a while (yes, we do notice). Please feel free to keep giving us feedback on where we are going wrong and where we are going right. You can do that here on this blog (by leaving a comment), or by emailing info@powerpointedinburgh.co.uk OR (if you’re a member), on the “unofficial” Powerpoint Bebo group (there’s a link at the side of this page) – join up, feedback and never look down.

That’s got to be enough from me…

The Power of Sacrifice

Good news everybody… Powerpoint is on again, THIS FRIDAY.

Do me a favour; bring £2, a friend or two and your own mind… does that count as three favours? Who cares?

Friday evening, 7.30pm at St Thomas’ Church on the Glasgow Rd Edinburgh… should be a good’un

Commitment: Low

Hello there.

You’ll have noticed that I have not been updating the PP blog much of late; this is really due to two things, both of which are laziness. You have my ‘humble’ apologies.

How good was Powerpoint in March? The answer is “very”. Clive Parnell spoke clearly and effectively, so that everyone present could not escape the clear message that we must go… There was an amazing atmosphere last month and this month promises to be no different. Indeed, Powerpoint April is next week! Can you believe it? We’ll be talking about the Power of Sacrifice – hmmm that sounds intriguing. How likely is it that we will see you there?

Anyways, I have been asked to outline whatever the song list was from March. Truth be told, I can’t really remember the whole lot and there were a lot of songs we didn’t end up playing due to running 40 mins over time. But in the end, it worked perfectly and I wouldn’t have changed it for the world… would you?

So here is what I can remember…

Wonderful, so Wonderful (Beautiful One) (D)
We Stand And Lift Up Our Hands (Holy is the Lord) (A)
Hallelujah (Angus Dei) (A)
God of Justice (We Must Go) (E)

What Good is It (Living for Your Glory) (E)

Light of the World (Here I Am to Worship) (E)
I Can Only Imagine (E) – chorus
Holy Holy Holy (Lift Up His Name) (E) – chorus

I think we may have finished with Happy Day too…

Anyways, so there it is. Who knows what this month with hold? I do… to a certain extent.

Remember, Powerpoint is on 11th April… that’s next Friday… that’s 7 days away! Hiooooooooooooooo
