St John's News - 1 Oct 2024

Dear friends,

“What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul?”
Mark 8:36

If you missed the service on Sunday and the talk on Exodus 2, you can catch up on our YouTube channel.

This coming Sunday is our all age Harvest celebration. The service will be followed by a Bring and Share lunch. If you have not signed up and would like to join in, please come along with something to share. Also, please bring donations of non-perishable food items for the Stowmarket Area Foodbank.

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.

On Saturday 2 November at 3:00pm, we are holding a special event called A Time To Remember & A Time To Give Thanks at St John's. 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.

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.

In Christ,
