St John's News - 8 October 2024

Dear friends,

"Whoever has ears, let them hear."
Matthew 13:9

If you missed the Harvest Festival service on Sunday, you can catch up on our YouTube channel.

On Sunday, we also heard about the financial challenge St John’s is facing. If you would like to start regular giving or make a one-off donation for the work of the church, please go to our web site, and click on the green "Donate Online" button.

Next Sunday's service will include the Lord's Supper and the reading is Exodus 2:23-3:20. Sunday School will be looking at David and Jonathan’s deep friendship in 1 Samuel 20.
If you were unable to make the defibrillator training today and would like to know how to use it, please take a look at this YouTube video

Thank you again for supporting the Suffolk Historic Churches Trust Ride and Stride event last month. We raised £325.

Please come along to the church on Saturday 26 October from 10:00am to noon to help tidy the churchyard and church. There will be a range of jobs to be done both inside and out. Your support will be greatly appreciated. If you have a strimmer, hedge trimmer, rake or lawnmower you can bring along, it would be most helpful.

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.

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 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,

Peter
