We want to help all those who have experienced bereavement find solace and strength in their lives.Over the last few months as a church community we have lost five members of the congregation to death over the last few months, so our yearly remembrance of those who have died will be more poignant than usual.On Sunday November 3rd at our 6.30pm service we will read the names of those who have died over the last 14 months or so. Names of those whose funerals have been taken from this church will be read automatically, but there is the options for others to be added. There is a list in the back of church or names can be emailed to priscillawhite.harborne@btinternet.com.On Wednesday November 6th at our 11am service any names of anyone whom people wish to remember will be read. Again there is a list in church or you can email.All are welcome to either of these services.
On Sunday 11th August our 10am Service Morning Praise focussed on Knife crime. So many people have died in the last few months from senseless attacks including one just outside the border of our parish. We prayed for Jordan Moazami and his family and for all those many others whose lives have been torn apart by violence.We created our very own knife cross as part of the service.
On Sunday 28th July at Evensong we welcomed Rachel as our new Reader. She has been worshipping with us for several months and Rev'd Canon Catherine Grylls came and licensed her to be part of the Ministry Team.Welcome Rachel
