For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. Jeremiah 29:11
Dear All,
Wow, what an amazing, blessed weekend it was last week. It was so wonderful to see so many people come together for Andrew’s Induction service and his first service with us on Sunday as our minister.
Thank you to everyone who worked so hard to make everything so special. Many folk worked hard behind the scenes to make the weekend such a success – THANK YOU!!!
As we go forward into the new chapter for our church, please do continue to pray for Andrew, Candid and Tavonga.
Andrew’s working week
Andrew will be with us at Plume Avenue on the 1st and 3rd Sundays of each month. Andrew will be based here at Plume Avenue on a Monday and Thursday. His day off is a Tuesday and we would like to urge everyone to respect this and not contact Andrew on Tuesdays unless you have a serious pastoral emergency. It would be helpful too not to send e-mails to him on a Tuesday.
Andrew’s contact details are above in the header.
Bible journaling
February’s Bible journaling will take place next Saturday 1st March, as there aren’t enough Saturdays in February! 10am-12pm. Coffee and cake provided, plus friendly relaxed chat, whilst spending time in God’s Word, what could be better?! Do come along even if you’ve never been before, speak to Jo for more details. No experience/skills/equipment required, we’d love to see you!
Synod Day
On Saturday 8th March, we are hosting the Synod meeting here at Plume Avenue. We are going to need some help with stewarding and catering. If you can help with this please speak to the following people:
Welcome and stewarding – Marie, Rachael and David.
Catering and refreshments – Andrea and Kate.
Car Parking and furniture moving – Dave, Joe and Matthew.
Safeguarding
Matthew Lewis is standing down as our lead safeguarding coordinator with immediate effect. We thank Matthew sincerely for all he has done in this role. For the time being, Dave Anderson will be taking on this role. If you have a safeguarding issue or concern please contact Dave Anderson or Maz Rattray.
Thank you
David and I would really like to thank everyone for the beautiful card, flowers, chocolates and vouchers given to us a couple of weeks ago. We were totally taken by surprise and really appreciate the gifts and messages in the card. It has been and is a privilege to serve the Lord in our church and we look forward to the exciting days ahead under Andrew’s ministerial leadership. Please do remember that there were many folk who also gave a lot of time to church matters over the vacancy including those from the leadership team.
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, Please do feel free to join everyone to pray in the music area.
