Services on Sunday 24th November

Heresies Ancient and Modern - Christianity = Being Nice

Join us this Sunday at either our 9:30 and 11 o'clock services, when we will be concluding our series of talks on Heresies Ancient and Modern.

This week, Anna Larkin will be speaking on 'Christianity = Being Nice'.

Our regular children's activities meet again this Sunday as usual.

The age groups have been split slightly differently this term, as we've been blessed with so many children that we've had to add an extra group on Sunday mornings!

The baby zone and colouring tables will be set up at the front of the church, as usual.

On Monday 14th October, we lost our longest attending member, Jo Henson, who died at the age of 86. She first started coming to Christ Church in the 1940s, and was a faithful and constantly good natured member of the church. She was a core member of Women's Own, and a tireless advocate of mission to those affected by leprosy. Jo formed a wonderful partnership with her husband John, who died last May, and their daughter Ruth, who continues to be a cherished part of our church family.

A Thanksgiving Service for Jo will be at Christ Church on at 12.30pm on Thursday 28th November, followed by refreshments. All are welcome. Do continue to pray for Ruth and Jo's close friends as they adjust to her loss.

Mission Without Borders

Mission without Borders: Operation Christmas Love 2024

This Christmas will be the darkest yet for families living in poverty in Eastern Europe. In Ukraine, families continue to be separated and lives torn apart, with many children still spending hours sheltering in the basements of homes. Families are living under great stress and fear and face a miserable Christmas with a lack of food, freezing temperatures, and an unknown future.

You can help desperately poor families share a Christmas meal together – something many of us take for granted. £30 can give a family a Christmas to remember, filled with joy rather than sorrow.

Visit the Mission Without Borders website for more information, or make a donation online.
