We are going to be trying something new for 2024 with trialling a virtual prayer meeting on a Tuesday morning at 09:30.

It's an opportunity for us to come together at the start of the week, before things get too busy, to find time to help invite the Holy Spirit into our heart and minds for the week ahead.

At the heart of our Communion service, also known as the Eucharist, is thanksgiving, we give thanks for all that God has given us in Christ.

At this service, we, as a community, gather to ask for God’s forgiveness for sins, to listen to readings from the Bible, including a reading from one of the Gospels, to hear a sermon from Rev Alison, and to come together in prayer.

We receive consecrated bread and wine and at the end of the service, after sharing refreshments, we go out into the world to live and work to God’s praise and glory.

We love to welcome anyone to our monthly Sunday service so please do come along!

This is a new after school café for Year 7 pupils.

Homemade snacks and drinks will be provided but if you would like to make a donation toward the cost, see the attached flyer for the QR code.

This Lent we will be studying Holy Habits by Andrew Roberts.

Holy Habits is an adventure in whole-life Christian discipleship that draws upon the gospel of Luke. It encourages 10 holy habits that were modelled by Jesus and helped form our early Christian communities. They remain foundational for healthy growth of your Christian journey.

The ten habits are - Biblical teaching; Fellowship; breaking bread; prayer; sharing resources; serving; eating together; gladness and generosity; worship and making more disciples.

This material is suitable for those who are new to Holy Habits and those who have journeyed with this way of forming disciples for some time. More information can be found on holyhabits.org.uk.

The dates we will be meeting will follow on from the Ash Wednesday service on 5th March - 12th, 19th, 26th March and 2nd, 9th and 16th April.

When we meet we will experience the study through scripture reading, powerful video and music and times to reflect as well as to discuss. These sessions will use all your senses.

You can attend all these sessions in person at The Rectory, 1 Dovedale, High Wych, CM21 0DT Tel No 01279 790145 or Mob: 0783 366 7707 or contact Rev Alison Jackson on [email protected]

There is a book of Bible reflections for the 40 days of Lent that accompanies this course at a cost of £3.99. If you let me know if you would like this I can order them for you in bulk.
