Weekly Newsletter 10th November

Dear Friends,

As we enter into the season and Sunday of Remembrance, please do join us as we recall those who have lost their lives in war. As war in Europe persists in Ukraine, join us to pray for those currently fighting and to re-commit ourselves to peace.

There will be a short act of remembrance at the Basildon War Memorial on Armistice Day - Friday 11th November at 10:50am. All are welcome to join us.

This Sunday each of our churches will hold Remembrance Services beginning at 10:50am. Please join us as we remember the sacrifices made and the lives lost.

God Bless,

Grant

Holy Communion @ Ashampstead 8.30am

We gather at 8.30am for a short said communion service using the words of the wonderful Book of Common Prayer. The service will include a short sermon, and plenty of time to pray, reflect and encounter God in this wonderful place.
