This coming Sunday (25th May) at Cliff College (Calver, Derbyshire, S32 3XG) there will be an open mic event in the college chapel, free entry. I am not involved, and nor is it in any way associated with or related to ACTS Open Mic Church, but I will be there, and as the vision for ACTS develops I'm sure there will be some things I can learn from the event. Because of the setting, it will be a Christian-led event and will also have a two-fold theme of grace and renewal (or possibly renewing grace).I don't know the time it will start yet but will do soon if anyone wants to get in touch and ask, or else I'd suggest a 7pm arrival so that you aren't disappointed. The only confirmed act I know of thus far is Puppets for Jesus, whose work can be found at http://www.puppetsforjesus.org/.
Puppets for Jesus have a very unique and exciting ministry, sharing the love of Jesus via the medium of puppets, in schools, churches, openair events; you name it, they can probably do it, and are available to be booked at the above website. It's amazing how much fun puppets can be, and for all ages too. It's also interesting to see how many people are more prepared to listen to a puppet talk about Jesus as opposed to a person!
The open mic actually falls on the Cliff College 'Festival' weekend (see http://www.cliffcollege.ac.uk/festival/index.php for more info). Puppets for Jesus will be there for the whole weekend, doing various things as well as getting involved in the open mic, and will also have their own stall in the marketplace area, where their puppets can be bought and all your puppet-related questions can be asked.
Hope to see you on Sunday. I don't know about the other acts, but as far as this one is concerned, missing it means missing out!:)
