Dear friends
Just a reminder that we are back in the church building tomorrow at 11-12midday for café church where breakfast, drinks, fruit will be available alongside an informal style of service around tables and chairs. There will be an art area in the main hall (known as the Sanctuary) for those who want to be creative through art and explore the themes they are hearing in the service.
Tomorrow the theme will be ‘Unfinished masterpiece’ from the first chapter of Philippians and we’ll be finding out how God sees us, how this affects how we see the world and how we are all amazing works in progress whether we feel like it or not.
The service will be online on our YouTube channel at 11am although you’ll need to provide your own breakfast if you are watching on your own screen!

News about an excellent online course from Parenting for Faith. Parenting for faith were great supporting me during the pandemic as the Family and Childrens lead and as a mum/aunty. They support anyone who is a role model to children whether they are your own children or children you look after/teach/encourage. The aim of the course is for anyone who wants to help children/young people with their two way relationship with God. (I think the five keys they share help adults too!). They are hosting the course online on zoom in September starting Monday 26 Sept, 3rd Oct 10th, Oct 17th, 7 Nov, 14 Nov, 21st and 28th Nov 7.45-9pm (no sessions in half term)
Parenting for Faith Course Online 2022 – BRFonline You can sign up as an individual or if there are a few people interested we can book in as a church. Do chat with me if sign up as we get a discount if there’s a few of us.
We’ll be putting together some ideas for the services over the next few weeks so we’ll keep in touch about this but if you want to read or pray or help with children’s teaching or sing or share from God’s word then do get in touch with me. I’d love to hear from you.
Pray for…
Those we know who are ill or struggling with life
All those going back to school this week and their teachers
Those in Pakistan affected by the floods
Those who are daring to try new things or new ways of thinking in the Autumn
The shortlisting and interviews for the church administrator taking place over the next few weeks
Thanks for those who have received refreshment and support over the school summer holidays
See you tomorrow
In Christ
