Time
for God
Welcome to worship on our Prayer
weekend. As we think about Discipleship in the coming weeks, today we reflect
on the importance of putting God first and making time for prayer and
connecting with God.
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
‘Fresh
Expression’ – The Next Step
The Christian community of Pill is
exploring setting up a fresh expression of church in the village. Having
already met to learn about Fresh Expressions, another meeting is being held
on Sunday 21st January at 6pm in the Methodist Church to think
about what should happen next. You’re invited and welcome to join us.
Week
of Prayer for Christian Unity
From 18th – 25th
January churches in the UK will be marking a Week of Prayer for Christian
Unity. This year the resources have been produced in the Carribean,
reflecting some of the modern day issues addressed by the churches in that
region, such as abuse of human rights, trafficking and addictions. Daily
resources for prayer will be available in our prayer space, or can be
downloaded by visiting www.ctbi.org.uk
Film Night
‘The Shack’- Resheduled
On Sunday 28th January at 6pm we’re having a film night to watch
‘The Shack’ (12 rating), following on from the Book Club’s reading of the
novel last year. It’s a fascinating, moving and challenging story about a
man’s encounter with God following a family tragedy. All are welcome to come
and enjoy the film (whether or not you’ve read the book!).
Please
pray for…
‘I
urge you, first of all, to pray for all people. Ask God to help them;
intercede on their behalf, and give thanks for them.’ 1 Timothy 2:1
