Living Well For Jesus
8am Holy Communion - Order Two Mike Archer
Through scripture and sudden circumstances I have become more aware of the time allotted to me. The daily patterns of life can at times prevent me, as a lover and worshipper of Jesus, from living and dedicating all events in my life to him, as well as being prepared to allow him to use me for his glory. This week let us each seek to ensure that we are living well for Jesus in the time given to us. Neil Hopkins

Children During Half Term Today will be an All Age at 9.15am because it is half term and the Shine leaders are having a well earned break. There will be a crèche in the vestry for 2’s and under but we hope that families will enjoy worshipping God together in the services. Normal service will resume on 2 March.

Wobblers - Can you help? Our Shine group for the 1- 2 year olds would love more helpers to join the team on a Sunday. It is a fun place with lovely little people, bible stories, songs, rhymes and playing. If you are interested in coming to play, cuddle little people and share Jesus with them then speak to Helen Thompson.
Please Pray For... John Griffin who will be preaching this morning at Waltham Chase Methodist Church.

SCM Basics Bank Is particularly short on tinned meat (cold and for heating), tinned vegetables and cook-in sauces. They fed almost 900 people again in January so continue to be very busy, hence the shortage of key food items.

All donations gratefully received, just put them in the trolleys in the store room at the back of church.
