Announcements

Upcoming Events

Last Sabbath afternoon the fire alarm at the school was inadvertently set off by the children playing unsupervised. As a result the caretaker and the fire service were called. The kitchen shutter was lowered and the gas supply was cut. The cost to the church to reset the alarm, reconnect the gas and the call out of the caretaker is likely to be in the region of £100 . Had the fire service arrived it would have been in excess of £400.

The cost to our reputation is more worrying.

The church would like to say a word of thanks to the Prayer Ministry team for their efforts with the recent Week of Prayer.

Those who attended were truly blessed by the readings, testimonies and time spent in prayer. We can now look forward to the 10 Days Of Prayer that has been arranged for January. For more information visit www.tendaysofprayer.org

The school has not yet responded to this latest incident but we do need to show that we are proper worthy stewards of their property and not place our tenancy at risk. Parents must ensure that their children are supervised by an adult at all times. Playing and running in the corridors must cease.

It's time again to order Sabbath school lessons for the children.

Issues for one year cost £30. Please write down whether you want Cradle Roll (age 0-3), Kindergarten (4-6), Primary (7-9) or Junior (10-12) and enclose your payment in an envelope and hand to Josephine or Angela.

Scripture Reading – Genesis 12: 1-5 Intercessory Prayer - Sarah Tithes & Offerings - Nigel Children’s Story –Jasmine Special Item – Agape Singers Sermon – Robert ‘Who Do You Think You Are?’ Closing Hymn – 304 ‘Faith Of Our Fathers’ Benediction –Robert Hymn – 690 ‘Dismiss Us Lord’

We will be having a special collection for ADRA Ebola efforts next Sabbath. Please come prepared to make a small donation on 06/12/14 which can help to support ADRAs work in Masanga Leprosy Hospital in Sierra Leone. Ebola is threatening lives in West Africa. Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone are hit hard.

Masanga Leprosy Hospital in Sierra Leone needs our help. This hospital has a long history with the Seventh-day Adventist church even until today. Your donation will go towards help for providing running water to the hospital, reliable solar powers and repair of the fence. Masanga can fight Ebola right now with YOUR help.

For further details please visit the ADRA website: http://www.adra.org.uk/
