Last Sunday, we held our Remembrance Service and thought about those who had laid down their lives for our freedom. We also took communion and remembered Jesus who laid down His life for us so that we could be free from sin and death, and receive forgiveness and eternal life. We began our new sermon series in the book of Lamentations - not an easy book of the Bible to read, but still relevant to us today, as we all experience suffering and loss - and sometimes bring it upon ourselves! How do we handle suffering? And how can we help others when they suffer? We look forward to learning all that Lamentations will teach us about that.
On Sunday 15th November, Breakfast Church will start at 9.30am in the church (BN7 2LR) 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, a prayer and some worship. After a short break, the second part of the service will include more worship, a sermon, discussion, and prayers, as well as Sunday school and a creche with lots of fun activities for the children. The service ends at 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 vestry. On Saturday mornings, you can drop in to the church for coffee and prayer between 10am and 11am.
We have several rooms and a hall that can be hired for parties, clubs or meetings. Call 07581 807060 on Tuesday to Saturday to discuss what you need.
We remember all who are suffering both locally and across the world and pray for peace and the hope that Jesus offers us.
