INTIMATIONS FOR 14 & 21 OCTOBER 2018
Recording of Services
Please note worship is being recorded in audio and video formats, then uploaded to our website, Facebook page, YouTube channel and to create DVDs for distribution to the housebound. If you wish to be away from the view of cameras, please sit upstairs or in the rear of the transepts. Thank you.
Welcome
A very warm welcome to Rev Norman McKee who is leading us in worship this morning (Suday 14 October).
Christmas Shoebox Appeal
My huge thanks to you all! As of last Sunday morning 197 of our 200 pre decorated boxes had flown off the shelves. However if you’ve been unlucky enough not to secure one of the last three remaining boxes we shall be equally delighted to receive a box or boxes decorated by your own fair hands. Just please remember to pick up the all important leaflets which are still available at the doors. Someone remarked on Sunday ‘For Goodness sake, Christmas already’ and I know it might seem a bit early but this year the dedication of our boxes will take place here in the church on ‘Shoebox Sunday’ which is on the 4th of November to enable us to be ready for the start of their long journey to some very needy children on the 6th. Thanks again for your wonderful support.
