A Portrait Gallery
Do you like painting, drawing, doodling? How about doing a picture this week of a Builder. Then simply bring the picture / image you’ve done to church on the Sunday morning. It will be great to see them.
This is the first Sunday of a summer sermon series called ‘Portraits of the Christian’ because the Bible loves to use pictures and images to explain things.
National Parliamentary Prayer Breakfast
Did you join the online event last Tuesday morning? If so, you were in for a treat. The event was excellent.
If you missed it but would like to catch up you can find a recording of it here :
BMS Worldmission : Laura Lee Lovering
It was great to have Laura come and speak at church back in April. She is a very good speaker and a really lovely lady.
She mentioned an ‘eco-stove’ project and this is one of the proposed recipients of our Reserves Grants (to be considered at the next church members’ meeting).
If you want to read what Laura has been up to recently here is her latest news:
Venezuela appeal - matched funding
The church is supporting the Tearfund/DEC Emergency Appeal following the Venezuela earthquakes. Donations can be put in the special basket in the church on Sunday (there are blank envelopes to record your name/no. for Gift Aid). Alternatively you can give online with reference either Tearfund or Venezuela. The church will match all donations.
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
