Our next Church Has Left the Building...
What does it involve?
On the first Sunday of the month we do something a little different. In June, we'll be hosting a Sports Day at Chester Lakes! There will be a selection of classics to participate in, including tug of war, 100m sprint, egg 'n' spoon race and much more! It will be a team-based day where you win points for participating in and winning the various races.
We'll run the same round (e.g. egg 'n' spoon race) twice - one for the adults and one for kid's. So there will be something for everyone to enjoy! We're going to have a BBQ and other tasty treats too! Who could you invite along?
Do I need to register or sign up?
You can just turn up but signing up would help with the planning. If you're bringing a team or your family, please sign each person up individually. Visit: www.vineyard53.org/upcoming-events
How will the day look?
The day will be team-based and upon arrival people check in at the registration table - if you're already in a team, you'll be given a sheet to select which rounds your team will enter. If you're in a small group or on your own, we can help you find a team to join.
There will be points for finishing first, second and third. And prizes for the overall team winner over the course of the day.
If there's time, we're also going to have a game of volleyball and rounders too!
Do I need to be in a team already?
You can come as a team (ideally, around 8-10 people), a small group of you or by yourself. Upon arrival, you can either find a team to join or we can help you find a team.
Will there be food?
We're going to have a BBQ going on through the day for people to enjoy, along with candyfloss and cold drinks too.
Is this a free event?
Yes, it's all free - even the food and drinks. We believe in a God who is so loving and generous, that we want to be too!
There is a bar and cafe area that will cost money but in terms of what Vineyard 53 are organising, this part will be free.
What's the full address?
Chester Lakes
Church Rd, Chester CH4 9LQ
How can I help?
Invite your friends and family to come along!
Even if sports or vigorous activity isn't your thing, come and hang out - eat some food and cheer some people on!
We are also looking for volunteers to help make the day happen, so if you're interested, email hello@vineyard53.org

What is Church Has Left the Building?
Previous Church Has Left the Buildings...
Love in Action EventsWe have a growing community of people in Ellesmere Port connecting in with us at The Base and other events we organise at our church offices there. We served bacon rolls and had kid's craft for people to take part in with an emphasis on relationship and community building.
The other event was working with a charity called Live! Cheshire who are all about empowering people with disabilities. We renovated their building by painting the outside walls with a new lick of paint. Made and installed new planters, trimmed the edges of the grass and re-painted the railings. |
|
Easter Egg HuntMeeting on Grosvenor Park, we organised a massive Easter Egg Hunt across the surrounding area - complete with puzzles, riddles and a photo challenge! There was an Under 5s mini egg hunt, a kid's craft area, Easter reflective stations, a catapult¶chute game and a wandering chicken to catch too!

Fireworks PartyWe've had a Fireworks Party at Chester Lakes for the last two years. This year included live music, crepes, candyfloss, fire pits, a rodeo bull, carnival games, neon face painting and of course, lots of fireworks!
|
|
Inflatable SundayWe filled a sports hall with several bouncy castles including a gladiator duel, disco dome, giant slide and assault course! We love to create environments where we can be community together - showing something of the generous and loving heart of God.

Vineyard 53 Weekend AwayWe spent a weekend together at Shell Island. It was great time to hang out as a church family and have fun together. There were BBQs, outdoor games like beach volleyball, trips to the beach, a prayer tent and some time to sing songs to Jesus.
|
|
Ice-Cream GiveawayWe acquired a shop front in Forum Shopping Centre and used it as a base area for handing out ice cream and refreshments to members of the public. There were people giving out free vouchers, serving ice cream and others chatting with people and offering to pray for them.
|
|
Renovation ProjectsThere were two renovation projects happening at the same time. One was the Blacon Adventure Playground which involved litter-picking, cleaning and painting doors, fencing and walls. The second was renovating the Sensory Garden for the Blind in Ellesmere Port. This involved sweeping, varnishing, gardening and planting herbs and beautiful flowers. We also installed wind chimes and night lighting.
