Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good. His love endures forever Psalm 131
Dear All,
This Sunday is Remembrance Sunday and we will be focusing on this as our theme and observing the two minutes silence at 11 am.
Operation Christmas Child
The shoebox appeal for Operation Christmas Child closes this Sunday when all boxes need to be brought to church. If you have a box to bring, please do leave it with the others in the foyer – they will be brought into church by the children and young people during the service. Thank you to everyone who has packed so much love into these boxes.

Prayer before the morning services
We are aiming to gather together to pray at 9.45 am each Sunday with those who are leading and taking part in the service. These prayers are specifically for the church service. Please do feel free to join everyone to pray in the music area.
Prayer meetings
If you are available on Wednesday mornings or Saturday mornings at 9.30 am, please do consider joining the prayer meetings on Zoom. These are special times to join together to pray and it would be wonderful to have more people join us. There is no pressure to pray out aloud if that is what concerns you!
This week
There will be a prayer meeting on Wednesday morning and Saturday morning at 9.30 am.
Zoom details will be e-mailed early in the week.
With love and blessings
