Due to the stormy weather warning for Sunday morning, Pam and I have made the decision to cancel the 9.30am HC service at St Mary's Snead due to the risk of falling tiles from the north side of the roof and from above the porch which was highlighted by the recent architect's report. We do not want to put people at risk.The 6.30pm Carol Service at St Peter's More will be going ahead as the weather is due to calm down mid-day, and the church roof is sound.With all blessingsGiles
Come along to one of our services this Christmas. Plenty to choose from. The downloadable service rota has a range of services across the whole Benefice.
<u><b>Cafe Church at Lydham Village Hall</b></u>On Wednesday 9th October we held a second well attended Cafe Church at Lydham Village Hall. People were served on arrival with bacon rolls and toast with fruit juice, tea and coffee. Revd Giles welcomed people before interviewing Peter Iles about his faith journey and the role faith plays in his life. Gloria Howell then beautifully read the Bible story of the Good Samaritan. Mark Melluish then picked up on the theme of compassion in a brief talk which was followed by lively table discussions on this subject. During the table discussions people were fed with pastries and had their drinks topped up. After an hour we finished, with Mark Melluish leading us in prayers collected from around the tables, and Revd Giles gave a final blessing to send people safely on their way.People left wanting to have had more time to talk which is always a good sign. Cafe Church is a great way to explore the Christian faith in an informal way in friendly company with good food. We next meet at Lydham Village Hall on Wednesday 20th November at 10.00am, when we will be looking at the subject of generosity. Everyone is welcome; just turn up.
