Dear Friends,
I trust you had a good Christmas and New Year celebrations. On a personal level, it is really lovely to be back after a restful break, so my heartfelt thanks go to the wonderful ministry team who took on extra duties to enable that to happen.
Our weekly services and activities all continue so do please have a flick through the website and details below, we’d love to see and welcome you to any of our services and events this term.
As the publication of a certain Royal’s new auto-biographical book has been making headlines, it struck me that there is a great reminder of the hope the God offers us and it really is quite simple and something for us all to ponder:
Those who are in Christ are never the SPARE and always the HEIR.
If our identity is found in Christ, we are in line to inherit the Kingdom of God. How marvellous a thought!
With joyful blessings for the year ahead!
Love,
Grant
SERVICES THIS WEEKEND
The Christmas Story for all the Family. Everybody is encouraged to come dressed as a Nativity character (or anything else!). There will be cracking carols, lots of celebration and lots to eat and drink! Come and join us as we celebrate Christmas in style.
In our new style crib service we will gather together and re-tell the greatest story every told! We will sing some wonderful carols and encourage full family participation. Come dressed as a bible character. Yes tea-towels are mandatory! - or come as any of your favourite superhero’s - perhaps there will be a Batman instead of a shepherd this year? Who knows? Bring your friends and family and neighbours for what promises to be a fantastic way to enter into Christmas!
All are welcome to join us for our Midnight Communion at St Mary’s, Aldworth. We will start Christmas Day thanking the Lord, and contemplating the enormity of the miracle of Christmas.
