Bible readings:

As this notices sheet covers the whole month, please refer to the service lists posted in our churches to check what the readings will be for each week.

Streaming services in August:

We will not be streaming any of our services August. This will allow our team to do some much needed technical maintenance work on the equipment.

Wednesday services from September:

Our informal service in St Mary’s on Wednesday mornings will take a slightly different format from September. Instead of a conventional sermon, we will be using a Good Book Company study guide to reflect on Paul’s letter to the Ephesians. All are welcome. Please speak to Caroline if you would like more information.

Holiday Bible Club 24th – 27th August ‘God’s People and the Temple of the Rising Son’:

Bookings are very strong and we are still looking for people to join the team of helpers. You don’t need to lead the teaching; help with crafts and making sure the children are where they need to be is really helpful too. The club runs from 10 – 3 each day; we meet for briefing and prayer at 9.30 each morning. In addition to the all day volunteers, we need a few chaperones to help accompany the children to Burrs Meadow to eat their packed lunches. If you could spare an hour at lunchtime on any of the days to help, please speak to Caroline.

While the Holiday Bible Club is running, the church will be locked when we’re not in there. If you need access, please speak to Caroline.

Picnic at St Catherine’s 30th August:

You are invited to bring a picnic lunch to eat in the churchyard at St Catherine’s after the service there on 30th August. Hot and cold drinks will be provided.
