Liz’s Letter 05/04/2026
April 5, 2026 by Liz Bird

“The women took the spices they had prepared and went to the tomb. They found the stone rolled away from the tomb, but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. Suddenly two men in clothes that gleamed like lightning stood beside them… the men said to them, “Why do you look for the living among the dead? He is not here; he has risen!”” Luke 24

Dear All,

Thank you to everyone who has made this Holy Week very special in serving the Lord and His church in so many ways.

Easter Sunday
We will have an All Age Easter Celebration with Communion on Sunday morning to celebrate the resurrection of our Lord and discover how Easter brings us Hope!
In the afternoon there will be the Easter Egg Hunt with Prettygate Baptist Church starting here at Plume Avenue. Please note this starts at 2.30pm (not 2pm as previously published).

Out of the Box
Are you involved in children’s work, youth work, school work (paid or voluntary), all age services,
prayer, leading devotions for meetings?
The Synod Children’s Mission Practitioner will be running a taster evening for the Out of the Box
resource here at Plume Avenue. This will be on 29 April at 7pm. Everyone is invited to attend this
Taster Session – it would be great to have a good number of folk to hear and explore how this
resource can be used in so many settings. If you are interested in coming to the taster evening
please sign up in the foyer.

Gifts Course
We are going to be running the Spiritual Gifts course called SHAPE starting 22nd April at 7pm. This course will run fortnightly and will help you to identify your:
• Spiritual Gifts
• Heart’s Desires
• Abilities
• Personality
• Experience
that you can use for God’s Service.
For those who have done the Spiritual Gifts course at Plume Avenue previously, this is a different course to the one we have used before. Most of us are very aware of our own strengths and weaknesses and so lack confidence in our Christian lives. We need to discover more of our gifts and strengths, the way God has shaped us and what we have to offer! Please do prayerfully consider signing up for the course. The sign up sheet is now in the foyer so please do add your name if you would like to attend so that we can produce the correct number of resources. If you have any questions speak to Liz, David or Marie.

Worship Evening
Our first Worship Evening takes place next Sunday 12th April at 6.30pm. Do join us to spend time in worship and praise.
