Every now and then you come across a truly remarkable story. A story in which the love and power of God are revealed in all their awesome glory. Barry Woodward’s life tells one of those stories and he’ll be sharing it with us on Sunday 3rd May. To give you an idea of what it’s about, here’s an extract from the back cover of his book “Once an Addict”.
Barry Woodward was a drug dealer and heroin addict who once lived on the notorious Bull Rings in the centre of Manchester. This book describes Barry’s descent into the murky underworld of drug dealing, addiction, crime and imprisonment, and gives first hand insight into the city’s nightlife and music scene. Along the way we are introduced to some of the most extraordinary characters, and we see the extreme lengths to which some of them will go to get their next ‘fix’.
Illegal drug use claimed the lives of many such people, and it seemed inevitable that Barry would also succumb to the drastic consequences of his addiction. With devastating amphetamine-induced mental health issues, a fourteen-year heroin addiction, a string of broken relationships, and the threat of HIV looming, the outlook for Barry appeared very bleak. Then three extraordinary encounters changed his life forever….
Here is a pdf of the flyer about Barry’s visit. You can also get information from his website.

Some of you may have been wondering why there hasn’t been much activity on the website for a while. We’ve had plans to start the new website (life-cc.co.uk) for several months but things keep getting in the way. This site is going to be taken down when the new one’s ready so we haven’t put much effort into maintaining it in the past few months. Hopefully it won’t be too long but please bear with us until then.
