Café Church Bergerac

 

Everybody welcome; informality;  reflection;  listening;  life-changing;  truth seeking;  

Christian music;  visual;  free;  interactive;  speaking;  learning;  coffee and cake.

 

Café Church Bergerac is all of the above and more, because we really believe that God Himself is present when Christians gather together.

 

Since April 2009 Café Church Bergerac has provided a meeting place for English speaking people. But God is doing new and exciting

things here in Dordogne and from the end of April 2010, Café Church Bergerac will meet twice a month in Bergerac and twice a month

in various homes in the region until the end of September.

 

Throughout the summer there will be two editions of Café Church Bergerac each month.

 

On the Second Tuesday Morning of each month, Coffee and croissant from 10am with the  programme running from 10:30 for about an hour.

On the Fourth Sunday Afternoon of each month, Tea and cake from 5pm with the programme running from 5:30 for about an hour.

 

The fast moving and interactive programme will have some Christian music, including the great old hymns and also newly written material.

The prayers that are said come from the heart and deal with the real issues of the day.

 

The talk which is given (and it can be interrupted if you don’t understand) then shows how people can be linked by a personal faith to God’s

love and power. Such a link always results in action which changes the world for the better.

 

Seven roads meet in Bergerac, in the Bible, seven stands for completeness and fullness.

So visitors from all directions can join us and discover with us the completeness and fullness of God’s mercy and love.

Please tell anyone you can, about Café Church and about what God is doing here in France.

If you think about it carefully, Jesus Himself is also depending on Believers to tell others

the Good News about His love and forgiveness.
