Weekly News - 12th October 2023
SUNDAY SERVICE Travelling together with Jesus in faith, hope and love. Reaching out with God's care and love for all.
This Sunday will be our annual Memorial Book Service led by Sue Knight. There will be a special focus on the memorial book and the names of the new entries will be remembered. We very much hope that all the families and friends of those names to be read out this year will be able to join us and hope that they will find their loved one’s inclusion an appropriate help and comfort, as we continue to remember them and give thanks to God for them.
As usual our service will start at 10am
Order of Service:
Notices
Call to worship
We come in this service to God, In our need, and bringing with us the needs of the world. We come to God, who has come to us in Jesus, And who walks with us the road of the world’s suffering. We come with our faith and with our doubts; We come with our hopes and our fears. We come as we are, because it is God who invites us to come, And God has promised never to turn us away.
