A Portrait Gallery

This Sunday is the second in our summer sermon series called ‘Portraits of the Christian’. A big thanks to those who brought a picture last Sunday on the theme of Builder. This Sunday the theme is Ambassador.

Some of you might want a little bit of time to work on what you might bring. So, here are all the portraits that we’ll be considering on each Sunday (except 9th August):-

19th July : Ambassador

26th July : Athlete

2nd August : Parent

9th August : guest preacher

16th August : Pilot

23rd August : Fool

30th August : Shepherd

So, if you like painting, drawing, doodling and want to work on something, simply bring it with you to church on the Sunday morning. I’m really looking forward to seeing what you produce.

Church Meeting

The next Church Members’ Meeting is on Monday at 7.30 p.m. Please see below for the agenda:

Agenda

Last week the table of the proposed Reserves Grants for 2026 was made available in an email to Church Members. These proposals had been discussed at the June Church Members’ Meeting. Please be sure to review them before attending the July meeting on Monday.

Safe Water at Bughungu Primary School

One of the proposed Reserves Grants is for completing a project to provide safe drinking water for Bughungu Primary School in Uganda. You can read more at the button below:

Venezuela appeal

In response to the Tearfund/DEC appeal for Venezuela earthquake help we have been able to send £1,230 to Tearfund which includes a matching contribution from church funds. Many thanks for your quick and generous response.

Prayer Meetings

Throughout July and August the Monday evening meetings will stop, but there will be a morning meeting on Thursdays - see below.

July Charity Offering - St David’s Hospice Care

From their first year of operation, caring for six patients, St David’s Hospice Care has grown to become one of the UK’s largest provider of hospice at home care, now caring for over 3,700 patients and families.

Church Magazine

The summer issue of the Church Magazine is available to read on the website and there are some copies available in the vestibule.

Thank You !

A big thank you to everyone who collected used postage stamps and placed them in the box provided in the chapel, in support of the RNIB – Royal National Institute of Blind People. I have now sent off the first 1kg of stamps (and that’s a LOT of stamps!)🙂

Please continue to save your used postage stamps towards the next kilo for this very worthy cause.

Blessings, Davina
