We extend the warmest of welcomes to you, and hope the worship will bring you
closer to God. If you are visiting or worshipping with us for the first time, we
hope you will be able to stay for a chat over a cup of tea or coffee after the
service.
As a church we believe in a living God who is active in our lives. If God has
touched you or stirred something in you this morning or there is something in
your life which needs praying about please don't leave today without praying
with someone. Find someone to pray with you and invite The Holy Spirit to do
His work. If you don't know who to ask, one of the stewards can find someone
for you.
There is also the prayer net at the front of church where you can leave your
concerns with God.
"Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so God can heal you.
When a believing person prays, great things happen." James 5:16
THIS MORNING
there will be a civic ceremony at the war memorial on
Shalder Hill, bridging the two minutes silence at 11.00am, following which the
service in the church will commence at about 11.15am. In the church, we will
be observing the silence at 11.00am. Please note that, because the service is
later than usual, there will be no Quest and coffee will not be served after the
service today.
REMEMBRANCE DAY.
The Church will be open for private prayer at
11.00am on Remembrance Day, Tuesday 11th November. All are welcome.
CHRISTMAS FAYRE.
We will be having our annual Christmas Fayre at BMC
on Saturday December 6th. It will be greatly appreciated if you can contribute
to the following stalls:
¶
Christmas Gifts
¶
Tombola
¶
Bric-a-Brac
¶
Crafts
¶
Books
¶
Toy Stall
¶ Cakes
We will be looking for helpers nearer the date. If you can help in any way, please
contact Jen Bond, 353674.
MEET & EAT.
At a loose end on Thursday mornings? The Meet and Eat
Lunch Club will be losing three key volunteers at Christmas, which will make it
difficult to carry on. If you are available on Thursday mornings, and could go on
the rota to help with the lunch, please speak to Elaine Fletcher, 01288 353765 or
Edith Vanstone, 01288 353244. It would be sad if this long-established community outreach could not continue. “They also serve who only stand and wait.”

CONGRATULATIONS to Jen & Mike Bond who celebrated their Golden
Wedding Anniversary on Friday (7th November)
LIGHT PARTY THANKS.
A HUGE THANKYOU to everyone who helped in
any way with the light party last week. 125 children came and enjoyed a positive
alternative to Halloween. Please continue to pray for them all and that the
message of the need to turn to the Light of the World stays with them.
RETIRING COLLECTIONS.
During November and December (except for
the Christmas services) retiring collections will be for Mercy Ships, who operate a
state-of-the-art hospital ship staffed by volunteer surgeons and medical staff
which travels to the world’s poorest countries to save and transform lives in
places with limited access to medical care, and to date have helped over 2.42
