Hi everyone- the more observant amongst you might have noticed that our main website is driven by php. You may also be aware of a major news story highlighting a major vulnerability in this code. Just to confirm, we only use php to produce the dynamic content that you read - we do not store any passwords or personal details on our site. This means that if our site is hacked - no sensitive data is there to steal. However if you read anything inappropriate on our site or are invited to share any personal details from something appearing to be part of our website - please ignore and let us know. We are working with our hosting company to clarify if we are vulnerable (Phil Jump)

The NWBA Impact Youth Weekend is happening this weekend. Please pray as we welcome approx. 115 people on site from various churches around our association. Pray about all the logistics that are necessary to make the weekend happen well (particularly that the food order arrives on time from the supermarkets!), for safe travels, through set up and activities for all the team and participants. And especially pray that God will do great things among us as we reflect on the amazing HOPE he as given us through the gospel of Jesus Christ, his coming, his dying and his rising to new life meaning that we can have 'strength for today, and bright hope for tomorrow'.

Once a month the BU core leadership team gathers to pray. This morning we celebrated what God is doing across our movement, and to pray for things on our hearts. Please join us in these prayers of thanksgiving, praise and intercession...

Our Association is an incredibly diverse place - there are worse places you could be as I head over to Tywyn for an away day reflecting with the congregation there on what it means to be church. (Phil Jump - Regional Minister)

A brilliant night meeting up for pizzas, conversations and worship led by Out of the Valley Music at the Loom Bar in Helmshore, East Lancashire last night. A mix of locals, non-Christians, and people from various local baptist churches all enjoying themselves. A great example of fellowship and worship beyond the walls of the church.
