 Sunday morning services from September...

The summer break can seem like “the silly season”. People go on, and return from holidays at different times; but by the middle of September, most, if not all of us, will be back and ready to roll! So we’ve chosen Sunday 15th September to reboot our morning service.

Starting at the new time of 10:30 am, we’ll worship God as a whole Church Family first. Then the children will move out into their own new group, while the adults and teens stay together - praying, learning and praising as the service continues.

David King, our Vicar, will also begin a new preaching series based on Luke's Gospel and called: "The King is coming!" That's not the Reverend King, of course, but the real King of everything: King Jesus! 

 For all who can: let's make time to be on time at the new time!

Starting at 11 am:

01 Sep  Fit for purpose? Luke 5:1-11
               Leader - Will King   Speaker - Hovan.

08 Sep  Focus on Mission Is 58:6-11 Matt 28:16-20
               Leader - Neil   Speaker - Graham Piper (St Mary's)

Starting at the new time of 10:30 am:

15 Sep* The King is coming! (part 1) Luke 1:1-4

22 Sep  The King is coming! (part 2) Luke 1:5-25
               
A service with the baptism of a child

29 Sep  The King is coming! (part 3) Luke 1:26-38

06 Oct  The King is coming! (part 4) Luke 1:39-56
               A Family Service for our Harvest Sunday

              *Holy Communion.

For everyone who wants to go deeper as Jesus' disciple - and for anyone who, for whatever reason, can't always make our regular Sunday service - we're starting a new group: Tuesday Evening Church, beginning on Tuesday 24th September. Doors open 7:00 pm, eyes (and hearts) up 7:45!

Farewell to Juliette!

Sunday the 25th August 2024 was a special day for us. A day of very mixed emotions as we said "Farewell and Thank You!" to Juliette Williams who has been at the heart of our church, as our Parish Nurse, since 2016. 

With her extensive and up-to-date NHS experience, together with her firm Christian commitment, Juliette has been the ideal person to play this important role in the life of our church and wider community.

Signposting for individuals, health advice to the whole church, personal encouragement and pastoral care - just some of the aspects of her multifaceted role. She exceeded her job description in what she did and in the number of hours she regularly devoted to her work.

The support links and trust Juliette had already built up proved particularly vital during the Covid Lock-Downs. Unable to make face-to-face visits, her familiar voice encouraged many people as she faithfully reached out to them, week by week, over the telephone.

We pray that God will protect and guide her, and Mark her husband, in the next chapter of the life to which He has called them.                                                                       Philippians 1:3-5

   Juliette as we will always think of her -
                               smiling.
