Last Sunday’s sermon was based on a passage from the Gospel of John. Jesus speaks about being the good shepherd who lays down His life for His sheep. He wants to protect, heal and restore our lives. He offers us meaningful, fulfilling life – and also eternal life! In our world, where life is often not valued, or is wasted, damaged, or taken by violence, it’s good to know that Jesus values life in all its forms.

On Sunday 21st September, Breakfast Church will be at 9.30am and there will be a warm welcome for everyone! We will have a breakfast of coffee, cereal, toast, fruit and warm pastries, then we will have a short talk, prayer and song, followed by a short break. The second part of the service will include more worship, a sermon and prayers, as well as Sunday school and a creche, until about 11.15am.

The service will also be on Zoom. The Zoom ID is 5912614502, password: Eastgate.

We have our weekly prayer meeting at 9am on Thursdays in the hall, and on Saturday mornings, you can drop in for coffee and prayer between 10am and 11am. We are taking a short break from our Bible Study evenings, but will be back in the autumn with an exciting new programme. Watch this space!

We have several rooms and a hall that can be hired for parties, clubs or meetings. Call 07765 326 583.

We remember all who are suffering both locally and across the world and pray for peace and the hope that Jesus offers us.

Pastor Ollie is currently on sabbatical, but will be back and raring to go again at the beginning of October. We are looking forward to hearing from several visiting speakers during that time. If you need pastoral support, please contact the deacons on 07902048676.
