Sunday 12th October is the17th Sunday after Trinity, and the theme of this Sunday's worship is faith and thankfulness. At Christ Church we will have a service of Morning Worship at 10.30 am with live music by Steve Bloggs followed by light refreshments in the Church Room, when we share our joys and sorrows from the past week, catch up on news and put the world to rights!Our readings this Sunday are: 2 Kings Chapter 5 verses 1-3 and 7-15c Naaman is healed of leprosyLuke chapter 17 verses 13-19 Jesus heals ten men with leprosy Almighty and most merciful God, we remember before you all poor and neglected persons whom it would be easy for us to forget: the homeless and the destitute, the old and the sick, and all who have none to care for them. Help us to heal those who are broken in body or spirit, and to turn their sorrow into joy. Grant this, Father, for the love of your Son, who for our sake became poor, Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Lunch starts at 12.00 noon.We have cancelled the April Soup lunch out of respect for the funeral of Ena Rogers.Lifts available by arrangement, just ask!
