FELLOWSHIP NEWS
Welcome to2009. The leadership of the church trust
that you had a relaxing Christmas and are looking forward to the New
Year together with great anticipation of what God will do for and
through us.
Do please remember two of our fellowship who are in
hospital. Jean Perren has suffered a major stroke and was rushed to
hospital last Thursday. She is very poorly and not responding at all
well to any treatment. Iris Feltham also remains in hospital while
her leg heals. This too is not happening as quickly as she would
wish.
Graham Peters has had a scan and a small operation
over the Christmas period. Give thanks that the operation was only
to take a biopsy as the tumour that was anticipated turned out not
to exist. Graham is recovering at home and now has to wait a couple
of weeks for the results of the scan and biopsy.
Also give thanks that Vicki Peters is now settled in
to her new flat, which is much nearer her work and so will greatly
reduce the cost and time spent travelling each day.
Please remember all these folk in your prayers this
week.
COVENANT SERVICE TO START 2009
This morning is our annual Covenant Service where we
rededicate ourselves as a fellowship both to God and to one another.
CHURCH ACTIVITIES - HOUSEGROUPS
Parent & Toddlers, Kingsquad, the Wednesday prayer
meeting and the Ladies Fellowship all recommence this week. Times
are shown overleaf. There will be three house groups this year. One
meets on Wednesday at the home of Anne and Terry Sewell, one on
alternate Thursdays in the church lounge commencing on 15 January
and hopefully one new one at the home of Pete and Helen Griffiths on
the other Thursday starting on 22 January.
SETTLEMENT GROUP MONDAY 12 JANUARY
The Settlement group will be meeting on Monday week
to interview a potential minister. They meet at 7.30am with our
Moderator just to prepare and then at 8.00 pm with the candidate. Do
please pray that God will continue to make the way clear to us all.
BI MONTHLY PRAYER MEETING MONDAY 19 JANUARY
There is a regular prayer meeting on Wednesday
mornings in the church vestry at 9.00am. There is also our
Bi-monthly prayer meeting. The date has had to be changed again. The
next meeting will therefore be held at 8.0 pm on Monday 19 January.
We do hope that you will be able to make every effort to join us in
the church lounge that evening. There will be an update on the
Settlement Group progress following the interview the previous week.
