St John's services, musical evening, men's breakfast, pop-up shop and more

Dear friends,

Get rid of the old yeast,
so that you may be a new unleavened batch – as you really are.
For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed.
1 Corinthians 5:7

Tom Hart delivered a superb talk on the Passover from Exodus 12 on Sunday. If you missed it, do catch up on our YouTube channel.

There are 2 services this coming Sunday. There is a shorter service of Holy Communion at 9:00am (with no hymns). At 10:30am, our main service is the all age family service with the baptism of Rosie Titchmarsh, when we will be thinking about the crossing of the Red Sea.

Thank you again to everyone who helped at the Church/Churchyard tidy last Saturday – great work was done!

This Saturday at 3:00pm is A Time To Remember & A Time To Give Thanks. This short service marks the passing of loved ones and honours their memory. The service includes readings, hymns, the reading out of the names of those we are remembering, and the lighting of candles. The service is followed by some refreshments. All those who have faced bereavement are invited to attend.

On Friday 8 November, John Evans is organising a great evening of musical entertainment, featuring Nutz 'n' Boltz and friends. Please make a note of the date and invite friends for a highly enjoyable evening. Donations on the night for the church will be kindly received.

The next Men's Breakfast is on Saturday 16 November at 8:30pm. Please sign up on the sheet at the back of church.
