We are always grateful to those members who provide the lovely flower arrangements each week, and feel that we should know who they are.

People to remember in our prayers:

We were saddened to hear this week of the death of May Pond on Tuesday. We send our love and sympathy to Dennis and his family and hold them in our prayers.

We continue to remember all our friends who are in hospital or care at the moment. We send our love and wish them to know that they are not forgotten although they are not able to worship with us.

We pray for our minister and his family; Steve and Amy and all the good work they are doing with the youth; and for any who are feeling sad or lonely. May God bless each one according to their needs and bring comfort and peace.

And we pray for each other as family members, that this church we love so well will grow in strength and commitment to our lord, so

that it becomes known as a place of welcome for everyone who

comes to worship.

Ash Wednesday *

To mark the beginning of Lent the church will be open to the public for private prayer, meditation, study between 9am and 9pm. You are invited to come for as long or as short a time as you wish. Please invite your friends and neighbours.

Fasting is often a feature of Lent. The Church Council invites you to consider fasting for just twelve hours during Ash Wednesday – either between midnight and noon, or noon and midnight. Thank you.

Rediscover your purpose

If you, like me, feel timid about sharing the Good News of Jesus, this day is for you. It’s free (with opportunity to give an offering), bring a packed lunch, and its subtitle is “Evangelism for the terrified”! Rev. Jill Flowers and others will make it a useful day, and would like to know numbers attending. Details on the poster in the vestibule. I’d love to take folks in my car.
