Dear Friends
We join together again on Sunday at 11am in the building and online on our YouTube channel @moortownbaptistchurch. We are continuing our theme of Resurrection and taking our story from John 20:19-29.
We’ll continue the week after at café church with Jesus on the beach with the disciples from John 21:4-19. There will be a group for our younger friends tomorrow and I hear it may involve clay so that sounds exciting!

Moortown Baptist Church is now receiving funding from a successful funding bid with Near Neighbours. Near Neighbours run a project called “Places of Welcome”. Both Beacon and Craft group are registered. The running of it on the outside won’t change, it just means that we get some support for what we already do and our systems, risk assessments are checked and up to date. If you want to join the team to help with this or just to come along then do get in touch with Karen Ross for Mondays, and Karen Ross and Diane Sunter for Thursdays.

Rachel Beedle told me about a free phone line called Daily Hope. If you call the number you can hear hymns, prayers and reflections at any time of the day. The number is 0800 804 8044. There are small leaflets at the back of church.
The deacons are currently setting some dates for church meetings until the end of the year…I’ll keep in touch.
Look forward to joining with you tomorrow!
