Pill Salvation Army
Church & Community Centre
Church Leaders: Lieutenants Nick & Shelley Ward
Welcome to Pill Salvation Army – your Salvation Army. Whether you’re here to worship, meet friends, share coffee or play and meet friends at our toddler group or children’s groups, we’re pleased to welcome you!
Questioning Jesus
As we come closer to the special time of Easter, we continue to explore some of the questions which people asked Jesus. Today we’re joining the Pharisees who ask Jesus, ‘By whose authority do you do these things?’ We might also ask ourselves who or what has authority in our lives?
Next week – Palm Sunday
Remember there’s no service here at The Salvation Army next Sunday, as all the churches join together on the village green in Portbury for a special Palm Sunday service. There will be a marquee for cover, activities for children, a donkey-led procession, and favourite Palm Sunday songs and readings. See over for details.
What is The Salvation Army?
The Salvation Army is a Christian Church and charity. Founded in 1865, The Salvation Army has always had a focus on demonstrating God’s love in practical ways.
News & information
Open the Book
The Churches in Pill are hoping to set up an ‘Open the Book’ team in Pill. Open the Book is an initiative run by Scripture Union through which a small team goes into a school to lead an assembly and present a Bible story using drama and interaction. Crockerne Primary School are keen for this to happen, so we are currently looking to gather a team. There will be a training day on either Monday 16th or Thursday 19th April from 9.30am-2.30pm (tbc).
Sponsor Jemimah
Jemimah Douglas recently took part in a Sponsored Swim – well done Jemimah! If you would like to support her, she would be happy to receive any small donations which will go to charities in Portishead.
Palm Sunday & Easter Week
On Sunday 25th March at 10.30am we will be joining with all the churches to celebrate Palm Sunday at
St Mary’s, Portbury for an outdoor all-age service, complete with donkey (weather permitting – alternatively we will gather in the church). If you’re able to, please bring a fold-upchair with you. Parking is available at St Mary’s, in the school car park, and on the rugby field if dry enough, in addition to on street parking.
On Good Friday morning we will meet together at The Salvation Army for a meditation at 10.00am, followed at 10.30am by a prayer journey around the churches and the village, helping us to reflect on Jesus’ journey to the cross. Everone will be invited to share in a short joint service on the village green (time tbc), followed by hot cross buns at Pill Methodist Church.
On Easter Sunday we will of course meet for worship together at The Salvation Army. Look out for more details of other Easter Week services and activities.
