Sending out
the Flame..
Rev. Rob
Cotton recently commented upon Summerfire: “In the year of the Olympics
with the Olympic flame travelling around cities, we are excited to
announce that whilst the hallmarks of Summerfire are being retained,
with great Celebrations, Bible Studies, Seminars, Youth and Children's
work, we are also sending out the flame which is the Summerfire family
flame to host 'Fire Festivals' throughout a number of towns and
cities
in the North-West on Sunday 6th May. These will include Celebrations
(with Chick Yuill and other guest preachers) plus fringe concerts with
the likes of Paul Field, Freddie Kofi, Dave Bilbrough (tbc). Rev.
Rob Cotton also spoke about the history of the Southport Methodist
Holiness
Convention and how the heritage was so important. Rob commented “We
need to rediscover the
ethos of being a Scriptural Holiness movement and not just an event!”
