At Communion Services

If you are a communicant member of a Christian Church, you are welcome to come up to receive the bread and wine.  Otherwise you are welcome to either remain in your seat or come up to receive a blessing.  Keeping your hands down by your side will signify to the Vicar that you wish to receive a blessing.   If you have difficulty coming up to the Communion Rail and would like the Vicar to come to you, then please inform a sidesman.

NOTICES

Throughout February-March we are hoping to do a course to help us explore Christianity in greater depth. This course will be for people who have been Christians for many years or those who are still trying to decide where Jesus belongs in their life. It will be a place to explore and question aspects of Christianity and learn together in a non-judgemental environment. I would like to know how many people would be interested in doing this course together with me and others who are interested. We will decide an evening in due course once we know who would like to attend so we can find the most convenient day. Please do speak to Kim if you are interested. Let us find greater understanding of Christ together. 

Quiet Prayer and Meditation - 31st  January at 3.30pm at 20, Kingfisher Close.   It is an opportunity for some special moments of peace in a busy world. Everyone is welcome to join us.  We would love to see you.
