Church news for the week beginning 4th November 2017
This weekend’s Bible Talk
This weekend, we continue our series looking at 2 Samuel as Simon Chaplin preaches from 2 Samuel chapter 15 verse 13 to chapter 16 verse 23, with the title, “The King’s Darkest Day”.
Mission of the month
Anglicare is our mission of the month. Support this ministry through the ‘Mission Table’ in the Hall.
Church Planning Meeting
Next 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.
Midweek Monthly Service
We are thankful to God for a terrific midweek service on Thursday, so we’re going to now run them on the 1st Thursday of every month (except January) at 11am, followed by a light lunch. Our next service is 7th December. Who will you invite?
Welcome to ‘Alive!’
Our new youth group has a new name: ‘Alive!’ It meets Saturday nights after dinner, during term time. For students aged years 7 to 12. See Rayne Orange for more details.
Christmas Decorating for SRE
It’s great to be holding the combined SRE assembly in our church building this year. To make it an even better experience for the children could we have some volunteers to decorate the church before Thursday 30th November. The decorations can then stay for the whole Christmas period. See Lesley Errington if you are able to help.
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.
