Sun 11 August, 10.30am: Annual Songs of Praise Service
Over the coming weeks, it's time to nominate hymns from our hymnbook - CH4 - to be included in our service. There are 8 to 9 hymn 'slots' waiting to be filled.
You're not limited to one nomination, either...
simply fill in your choice on the slip of paper provided, and pop it into the basket in the vestibule
[as, as per prayer group, use the 'contact us' facility].
Deadline for your nominations is 12pm, Sun 4 Aug.



Save your stamps!
Check out our shiny new postbox in the vestibule! We'd be delighted if you used it to pop in any used stamps you may have.
The stamps are sent off, bagged up, and sold to collectors, and the funds raised go to the work of both World Mission and Crossreach.





Looking Ahead - Communion

Our next formal service of Communion will be held on Sun 1st of September.
All are welcome to come and share.

The Blessing of Enough
I know how small
this blessing seems;
just a morsel
that hardly matches
the sharp hunger
you carry inside you.

But trust me
when I say—
though I can scarcely
believe it myself—
that between
and behind
and beneath
these words
there is a space

where a table
has been laid
a feast
has been prepared
all has been
made ready
for you
and it will be
enough
and more.
