Sunday 21st May 2023 (Easter 7)
Dear Friends,
Welcome to our newsletter for Easter 7, Sunday 21st May.
Christian Aid week starts on Sunday 14th May, please donate to this worthy cause, Envelopes will be available in Church.
A word about this week’s gospel message John 17.1-11: The hour has come, and Jesus prays for the disciples. The words of his prayer point us to the glorious glory of God! The reading encourages us to explore the nature of glory and to consider the way in which glory might offer hope in challenging times. A strong and appropriate message.
Our service on Sunday morning begins at 10.30 am look forward to welcoming Rev Jan Ainsworth to preside, our organist and MD, Ollie Mills, will accompany the hymns and lead the music.
