Reeves Chilsworthy: Rock Solid Next Sunday 18th January 10.00 am 2.00 pm 6.00 pm Bude: Bude: Dr David Wood Christians Together Service for the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity Holsworthy: Rev John Henry - Holy Communion 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. This morning is our annual Covenant Service, when we re-commit ourselves to God’s 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 TIME & SPACE. Our new informal Act of Worship begins on Thursday 15th January at 11.30 in the Church led by Rev Neal Street. It is hoped to continue this on a fortnightly basis. This is a new initiative by Neal and the Stewards to offer another time for worship and we hope this will attract folk from ‘across the water’ so to speak. If you know anyone who you think would benefit from ‘Time & Space’ do please invite them to come along there are handbills available in the porch. STARTING IN JANUARY. A new group will be starting this month hosted by Mike & Jo McMillan and Justin & Sarah Riviere. This will be an informal group sharing food and exploring answers to life and faith. If you would like to be a part of this group or know anyone who would please speak to one of us. INVITATION. Rachel Pitt & Andrew Toynbee would like to invite all church members to their Wedding Service at 1pm on Saturday 24th January and to also attend a Cream Tea & cutting of the Wedding Cake in the Hall afterwards. They particularly would like to share fellowship with you all in the Hall so please don’t disappear after the service! Many thanks, Rachel & Andrew Page 2 THE RED CROSS. This is the cross that forms the backdrop to our prayer net. Once upon a time it could be switched on to glow red but several years ago it failed the PAT test and hasn't been switched on since. As several people have asked for it to be switched on at different events lately we are seeing if this can be achieved so the cross will be gone for a while and will hopefully return renewed.
