Church news for the week beginning 21st October 2017

This weekend’s Bible Talk

This weekend, we continue our series looking at 2 Samuel as Simon Chaplin preaches from chapter 13 verses 1 to 39 with the title, “Sin and vengeance in the Kingdom”.

Mission of the month

Anglicare is our mission of the month. Support this ministry through the ‘Mission Table’ in the Hall.

Parish Council

Our Parish Council meets this Monday, 23rd October at 7pm at the church. Please remember them in your prayers.

New Youth Group!

Next Saturday night 28th October from 7.30pm to 9pm, Rayne is going to bring together all of our youth to meet together and share some exciting ideas and plans for our new youth group. If you’re high school age then be sure to come along, and bring your friends. For everyone else, please pray for this exciting, new development in our ministry to the young people of our village, valley and beyond!

New Midweek Service

On Thursday 2nd November at 11am we’re going to kick off a brand-new ‘Midweek service’ in the church, followed by a light lunch. This is an ideal time to come together, especially for those who may find our weekly services to be a challenging time of the day. Bring along old and new friends for a service that is aimed to serve both regular churchgoers and those who may not have been along before, or at least for a long time.

Church Planning Meeting

On Saturday 11th November from 8am to 11am we’re going to meet in the hall to reflect on our recent ministry activities and to plan for the future. In addition to our staff and our elected Parish Council members and Wardens, we would love to welcome any regular members to join us.

Giving update

Each week we need to receive $6300.00 in order to meet our commitments. In the last calendar month, our average weekly giving was $5675.00, leaving a gap of $625.00.

Up to the end of the last calendar month we needed to have received $273,000. Compared to that total we received $245,588, leaving a gap of $27,412.

Electronic giving is a great way to give! It helps us prayerfully plan our giving, and then the bank will help us keep that commitment, even when we may be unable to attend.
