Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever. Psalm 107:1
Dear All,
Call to prayer
Thank you to everyone who came and engaged with the prayer resources last weekend. This Sunday we will be taking a look at some of the artwork and reflections. Please do continue to pray for our church including the future and hopefully the call of a new minister.
Thank you again to Kathy and Jo for all their help setting up the day and also Robin, Steve and David for all the help setting up and clearing away.
Lent 2024
Hopefully you have picked up your “Watch +Pray” Lent book. If you are able to contribute £1.50 towards the costs of the books that would be great. You can either do a bank transfer, put the money in an envelope in the tithes and offertory box or pay using the Sumup machine which David will have.
There is an app which you can download to your phone to listen to each of the daily reflections. There is also a book called “Tarry Awhile: Wisdom from Black Spirituality for People of Faith” by Selina Stone. If you would like a copy do let me know – I can get them for £9.18.
Holiday Club Planning
Rachael writes: “We will be having an initial meeting for those who are interested in being involved in a holiday club this year on Tuesday 12th March at 7.30pm at the church. It would be great to see as many of you there as possible. If you are unable to attend, but would like to be involved, please let me know. Thank you, Rachael Coombes (coombesrachael@gmail.com)”
Satellites
Joe writes: “From 2nd – 7th August, the youth group will be at Satellites in Shepton Mallet. We are currently looking for people with the relevant driving licences, and a DBS, who would be willing to donate their time to drive the minibus there and back on 2nd and 7th. Ideally we need two drivers for each journey. If this is something you might be able to do, please speak to Joe.”
Bible Journaling
A couple of weeks ago, Jo Barnard-Edwards and I had a wonderful morning in Chelmsford attending a Bible Journaling workshop. Bible journaling is all about reading and studying the Word, letting it lead you to be creative in the ways you memorize and record Scripture. Jo has asked the tutor if she would be able to come and lead a workshop at Plume Avenue and she has agreed to do so on Saturday 2 March, 10am-12noon. The workshop will cost £10 each and we need a minimum of 5 people. There will be cakes, biscuits and drinks available. Please do speak to Jo if you want to know more about this or to book.
Prophetic words, scripture, pictures and testimonies
It is so exciting when God speaks to us in specific ways through words, scripture and pictures. If during a service you receive something and feel you would like to share it with everyone, please do speak to the person leading the service. Equally, if you receive something during the week or have a testimony you would like to share, please do let me know so that we can include it on a Sunday. It is so encouraging to hear how God is working through people’s lives and sharing these things brings glory to His name so please be encouraged to do so.
Prayer requests
We do have a prayer chain at Plume Avenue who love to pray for others. If you have something you would like the team to pray for confidentially, please e-mail:
circleprayer@plumeavenuechurch.org.uk
These e-mails go to Andrea Anderson, Rosemary Peck and Steve Edwards. Whoever sees the e-mail first sends it round the prayer chain.
This week
This week, there will be prayer meetings on Wednesday and Saturday mornings at 9.30 am and the Tuesday evening homegroup. Zoom details will be e-mailed early in the week.
With love and blessings.
