This morning Jon continues our new series Habit.at - exploring our spiritual disciplines. This week we look at the purpose and power of worship in our lives.
There are a couple of opportunities each week to join with others for a time of prayer. Monday Evening at 7pm and / or Saturday morning at 10am both in the lounge. It would be great if you could join us.
Crafty Chatters
Do you enjoy craft? A few of us will be getting together to craft, have a chat and catch up over a cup of tea or coffee. We meet on the 1st and 3rd Friday of every month from 7.30pm - 9pm. If you are interested in coming along or want to know more, have a chat with Sue Rock or Ruth Evans. .
Coffee Mornings and Service
The coffee mornings take place on the
2nd Tuesday of each month. We also have a monthly daytime service with traditional hymns and a short reflection at
11 am on the fourth Tuesday of every month. The next coffee morning will take place on the 13th February.
Members Meeting
We'd like to invite everyone to a "bring and share lunch" following the Sunday Morning Service
TODAY!!- everyone is invited to stay, and even if you're not a member please don't feel you have to leave... you unfortunately won't be able to vote, but we'd love to listen, share and pray with us! The minutes of the previous meetings and agenda for this meeting have been sent to all members.
Church Lunch Dates
It's great to be able to enjoy fellowship together (and food!) and we have 2 dates for church lunches this year
February 25th
September 29th
Please put these dates in your diary and we look forward to seeing you there. Everyone is welcome!
It's not long till the first church lunch of the year now. There is a sign up sheet with more information on it in the church lounge and you can sign up from today. Everyone welcome!
Staying well during flu season
As we're now in the season of coughs, colds and flu we're ever more grateful that our services are streamed on YouTube. If you do have symptoms this winter we'd encourage you to join us from the comfort of your own sofa.
If you're due to be covering a rota in church please let us know you'll be staying warm at home and if possible arrange to swap with someone else, but don't worry we'll find a way of covering what needs to be done. Thank you.
