Notices for Sunday21st December
A Prayer as you Prepare for Worship
Father God, when Your precious Son became a tiny baby in a stable in Bethlehem in poverty and simplicity, You changed our world. As we imagine those surroundings, we join with the shepherds and the wise men in wonder and praise. We thank You for our material lives, praise You for our spiritual lives, and trust in You for our eternal life. Amen.
Amen.
We pray for Philip Peacock as he leadsour worship today, for Richard Spurrthe organist and the Singers. Also forYoungChurchas they share the Nativity story
We also pray forBob Bartindaleas he leads worship atBramhall in the morning
