St John's News - 3 September 2024

Dear friends,

But the word of God continued to increase and spread.
Acts 12:24

If you missed Sunday's family service, you can watch it on on our YouTube channel.

This coming Sunday is a Mission Sunday and includes the Lord's Supper. Unfortunately, our original speaker is unable to make it, but Tom Fifield who works for SIM International in Ethiopia will be speaking via video link. Tom, Jemma and family visited us back in 2022, so it will be great to hear an update. Tom is also the son of Margaret Fifield, a member of our congregation, who sadly passed away earlier this year.

Sunday School also restarts this Sunday, meeting during the morning service, and will be looking at King David.

If you are Elmsfest, this Saturday, do pop over to say hello. We will be at the Christians Together In Elmswell stall, where there will be craft for the children.

Looking ahead, Harvest Sunday is on 6 October and the service will be followed by a Bring and Share lunch. Please sign up for the lunch at the back of church.

The weekly church prayer meeting is on Zoom on Saturday at 9:00am for 40 minutes. You are welcome to join us by clicking here or, load Zoom and use Meeting ID: 685 295 1296 and Password: 816262.

Finally, please remember all the local children in your prayers as they return to school for a new academic year.

In Christ,

Peter
