Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. Galatians5:25
Dear All,
Sunday
On Sunday, Andrew will be inducting the four elders who have been elected to serve the Lord and his church. Attached to this letter you will find a copy of the URC Statement of Faith and Order which would normally be read on such occasions.
Dates for your diary:
20th July – Church Picnic
We invite everyone to bring a picnic lunch to church so that we can spend time together after the service.
30th July to 4th August – New Wine
We are intending to stream the morning and evening sessions from New Wine (other than the Monday morning when it is holiday club). This is an opportunity to hear some excellent teaching and share in worship – you are welcome to come to all of the sessions or as many as you can manage.
27th September – Church Awayday at Assington Hall
We are planning an awayday for everyone from Church at Assington Hall. This will be a day to gather together to worship, eat, have fun, be quiet, enjoy fellowship together and so much more.
Please do put these dates in your diary. More details on each of these events will be available nearer the time.
