Church Prayer Day
Jackie Brooks Cheesman will once again be running a Church Prayer Day on Saturday 24th October, to give us the opportunity to join together and pray for our church and our world. We can sign up for half hour slots and pray wherever we are, so that someone is praying throughout that whole day. Please contact Jackie for full details about the day and to sign up. Her email address is jackiebrookscheesman@yahoo.co.uk.
Church Lunch
Our next church lunch is Sunday 1st November straight after our All Age Cafe Service. We will be having lunch in the hub this time while the hall is being cleared, but may return to the hall afterwards for some games if people would like to. Please bring food for yourself and your family, or bring food to share with others if you wish. This will be an opportunity to spend extended time with our church family, getting to know those we don’t yet know and enjoying time together over food. Games and activities will be provided for children and young people. Please let us know if there are any allergies we should be aware of. Hope to see you all there!
Weekly Services:
This Sunday, Ihuoma will be speaking on ‘Waiting in Captivity’, looking at Genesis 40. This continues our sermon series on ‘Waiting’ in the story of Joseph in Genesis. We will also have children’s groups for all those in school year 5 and below. It will be Serving Sunday for those in year 6 and above.
