Calling all musicians!

Through the year there are a number of events for which we put together a CIG worship band. At present, we are in touch with a small number of musicians but need more! So if you have a heart for worship, play an instrument or sing and might be available to support CIG and other events please e-mail worship@christiansingovernment.org.uk. Some of the venues we use are able to lend instruments so you would not necessarily need to bring your own (helpful for drummers!). Depending on availability we may arrange practice times. Do get in touch if you may be able to help!

Mission Year

Mission Year is launching in London in September 2010 to resource churches to more effectively engage with their communities. A Mission Year team will live together, connected to a local church where they serve and support that church in it's outreach to the local community. There are many ways to get involved; training and support will also be provided for all participants. To find out more visit www.missionyear.org.uk or click on the logo above.
