Sunday 7th Mar - 3rd Sunday of Lent
Good Morning & welcome all to our online Sunday Gathering
This morning’s service will be lead by Phil, with music, readings & prayers and the talk from Lee, all streamed Live on Facebook at 10:30am.
Our bible readings for today are Exodus 20.1-17 and John 2.13-22
You will be able to follow the entire service on the screen. A copy of this liturgy is also available if you click the below link.
If you are watching alone or missing seeing people from church, is there someone you can make contact with to see if they fancy joining you for a chat on WhatsApp / Zoom / Facetime or the telephone after the Live Stream service? Grab a coffee and have a catch up much like you would in church on a Sunday morning. If you are not sure who you could make contact with please speak to Vicar Lee or one of the churchwardens (Dave, Jeanette, Maria or Alan) and we will see what we can arrange for you.
*** UPDATE: A recording of the service has been added below ***

Week 3 - Communicating like jesus Mon 8th to Sun 14th Mar
Christians are called to be witnesses to Christ in their lives and speech. Theologian Stefan Paas says “[Witness} is nothing more than the fostering of natural human relationships, while being unembarrassed about the Christian faith”. Good communication is key to witness. We will learn this week from Jesus the master communicator.
This week pay attention to how you communicate with people. What difference does it make to try to apply these communication lessons from Jesus?
