What to expect at FUSION.

There are only a few days until FUSION begins, well 3 days in fact.

Do you want to know what to expect when you come along?
Of course you do :o)

Praise & worship is going to weave itself throughout the event in a new way. In fact the whole event is going to begin (at 8pm Friday) with a time of praise and worship led by ‘Ignition’ (Bethel Community church’s youth band). Then between 11am – 12pm on Saturday there will be a time of hymn based worship and prayer. The whole event will then conclude with worship on Saturday night commencing at 7pm.

Another new feature of FUSION will be the Fusion2 coffee house. If you want somewhere to collect your thoughts after encountering God in the main venue, then pop over to the coffee shop (in the building opposite the church). This will be open to everyone from 10am to 6pm on Saturday.

However, when you enter the main venue this is what you can expect to see:

1. Walls of worship
As you enter Fusion you will walk straight into the worship zone. Not only will you find songs of worship being played continually throughout the event, but you will also be encouraged to cover the walls with thanks [to God]; a testimony of praise to our great God!
Praise & worship colours our lives.

2. Agreement zone
Jesus said, “I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything you ask for, it will be done for you by my Father in heaven. For where two or three come together in my name, there am I with them.”
There is power in unity and agreement. Do not go in this area alone; go in with at least one other person so that you may agree over what you are praying.

3. Indulgence
We are encouraged to “let the Word of God dwell within [us] richly.” This is a space in which you can just relax in God’s presence and let Him speak to you though His Word.

4. The wall
This is a prayer wall. Not all prayers need to be spoken, some can be written down, but in doing so you are laying it before God and trusting in Him. Our trust comes from knowing that He “can do abundantly more than we can ask or imagine.”

5. Ark of the covenant
We are God’s temple and yet it is often the case that our lives are not always as homely to God as they should be (or that we would like it to be). Take time here to make God feel at home in our lives so that His residency will be seen by those around us.

6. Way of the cross
At the foot of the cross we can only reflect upon God’s call on our lives to follow Him.

7. The table
At the table we come together to share communion. This is God’s meal to which we are invited, so whether you are alone or in a group feel free to partake in these emblems.

8. Sacrifice corner - something’s gotta give
This is zone that encourages you to prayerfully give. All donations will be given to the work of Scripture Gift Mission (Lifewords) who have provided Fusion2 with gospel tracts.

9. Where the rubber hits the road
How does all this impact Newport? It is in the way we live our lives. Will we let this time we have spent in God’s presence impact our lives and our city?

That is what is going on. I hope to see you there.
God bless!
