Banner Making Day- many of you will have appreciated the various banners around our church. Whilst we have banners for the various seasons and celebrations, such as weddings, we have been sadly lacking in terms of celebrating new birth. We intend to remedy this, on Tuesday 11th March, when you are invited to come along to the church hall from 10:30am, for as long or as short a time as you are able, to help make a “Dedication Banner” All skills required e.g. cutting, sewing, sticking, tea making. Enquiries to Sue Thompson. Sunday 16th March – Church Members meeting.
Healing church, called out and chosen To enlarge God’s kingdom here Lord-obeying; Spirit-strengthened To bring God’s salvation near For creation’s reconciling Gifts of love in us release Father, Son and Holy Spirit Make us instruments of peace.
