Notices of Week of 21 July 2022
Summer Notices
As we enter the Summer Season we won’t be updating our Notices every week. Next week will be the last major update until the end of August. Please let the office have any notices you need advertising in good time next week with Wednesday as the last date.
Summer Series – What is…..?
Our Summer Worship series starts on Sunday. We are really excited to be combining our 10:30 am Morning Worship and our 10.30 am Family Worship services into one service to be held in the main church at 10.30 am. (The 9.00am Holy Communion service will be continuing as usual.)
The church layout is being changed today – and is starting to look great. We will have a Cafe’ style church for this period similar to the layout those who worship at Family Church would recognise. This means chairs around tables and refreshments and other things on the tables. It’s croissants this week!!
This is an exciting moment where we bring two large groups together to make a super congregation – it will be busy!
The theme is “What is……..?” looking at things like Church, Worship, Communion and Discipleship so the teaching will be great too.
We hope the existing congregation of both our services will find this series uplifting, inspiring and exciting but also that visitors will feel welcomed to this too. Please bring your friends and families if they are visiting you over the summer.
Looking Forward
In addition to our Summer Series we have other things coming up over the next few months. Make sure you keep the following dates free in you diary and sign up where appropriate!!
