Next Sunday 16th November 10.00 am Bude: Mr Barry Bryne 6.00 pm Holsworthy: Rev John Henry 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.” Page 2 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.
