We are very pleased to welcome Roy Searle and Michael Kohl to our 8am Morning Pause team .
Roy is an Associate of The Commons Cooperative and the NorthumbrianCollective, which he helped found, and currently lives in Newcastle upon Tyne. Roy is a valued leader in the British Baptist Church with oversight of pioneers. He brings a wealth of experience in New Monasticism and some much valued “Northern Soul” to our team.
Michael is the founder and manager of West End Impact and Pastor at Morecambe Community Church. He has a passion for those pushed to the margins, and is a great musician and lyricist.
Roy will lead us on Thursdays from May until mid July. He promises to invite some of his friends from the Commons Cooperative.
Michael will help lead Mondays, bringing the grit and hope from his community to encourage and inspire us.
300-400 folk join us some point every day – our livestream stays on the page for 30 days so you can join whenever you have 20 mins to be still. We find this shared pause resources us to live for Jesus & Justice.
We livestream to our main Face Book page:
and we have smaller, private Face Book groups in the following regions:
These are places where local activists and leaders share news, events and prayers. Have a look and see what is going on in your locality.
