Sunday 26th October
Bible Sunday
WELCO ME to the Church`s worship on this Bible Sunday. Today we give
thanks for the way in which we can learn more about the nature, purpose and
love of God through the words of Holy Scripture and for the way in which we
can experience Christ in His word. Today we are privileged to be Baptising new
members of the Christian family, Samuel, Elizabeth and Beatrix.
We particularly welcome all those who have come to support them and
celebrate this event with them. Unfortunately there will be no Sunday School
today, so all our children are invited to join us for the whole service.
Coffee and tea will be provided in the hall after the 9.30 Eucharist where the
refreshments will be served by ‘After the Sermon’.
