Lanner Methodist Church
Palm Sunday 29 March 2015
Lectionary Reading for today:
“Your attitude should be the kind that was shown us by Jesus Christ, who, though he
was God, did not demand and cling to his rights as God, but laid aside his mighty
power and glory, taking the disguise of a slave and becoming like men. And he
humbled himself even further, going so far as actually to die a criminal’s death on a
cross. Yet it was because of this that God raised him up to the heights of heaven
and gave him a name which is above every other name, that at the name of Jesus
every knee shall bow in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue
shall confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.”
Philippians 2: 5-11 Living Bible

Gwennap Pit
Coffee morning on Wednesday 8 April 10am - 12noon to welcome back our
volunteers before the start of our new season starting on the 1st of June.
We are always looking for volunteers and if you feel you might like to join us, why
not come to see what we are all about? You will be made very welcome and should
you want to give volunteering at Gwennap Pit a try we can promise it's neither
difficult nor dull. If you can make a cup of tea and offer a smile - that's about it! (Oh
yes and wash a cup or two... - well, there's always a catch, isn't there?). We would be
happy to accept any time you are able to spare us. Please will you think about
coming and seeing what offering a few hours a month to Gwennap Pit is all about?
The kettle will be on and I'll wash up!
Thank you. Jenny Lockwood.

Praying Ministry:
If you know of someone who needs our prayers, a visit or is in hospital,
please contact Rev Mark Liddicoat or a member of the Prayer Circle.
Thank you, God, for the precious gift of memory. Thank you for the ability to recall
past blessings and glimpses of grace; to remember Scripture, favourite hymns,
sacred poetry and prose; for memories that encourage and comfort, warn or
restrain. Help us to deal positively with memories of our past failures and regrets,
and the legacy of hurts and abuse. We pray for those whose memory is impaired by
accident, illness or advancing years; hold them securely, Lord, in your remembrance,
that in you they may yet be whole and complete. Amen.
