Hi everyone,
We are now in our series on Paul’s letter to the Romans, and we will unpack this week's sermon in our Bible study after the Thursday communion. I would really recommend catching up on the sermon from week one, and also watching the home group video if you have time (available here). Also I would highly recommend again reading through the letter yourselves and watching the Bible Project summary video. And also the series (in ‘wavelength’) by Tom Wright if you want to get much deeper into the text.
Tonight is Men in Shed and we can also talk about the first part of Romans and what it is to share our faith.
On Thursday we also have Rosanna’s creative prayer session in Paulton from 7-8pm.
A huge thank you to everyone who has already donated to the re-ordering in Paulton. If you are in a position to support this transformation of the worship space in the church then you can use the details below:

COMING UP...

Everyone is welcome to come along and join the group, enjoy a cup of tea or coffee and a cake and have a good natter!

Morning prayer is taking place at 9.30am Wednesday in Paulton and Thursday in High Littleton. It begins with 15 minutes of quiet reflection, followed by Common Worship morning prayer.
The Church of England have updated their Morning Prayer APP. You can now listen to morning prayer from the app. I would encourage you all to take this up as a daily practice, it is a great way to grow a pattern of prayer and learn the rhythm of responses each day.
You can download the app here: https://www.chpublishing.co.uk/apps/daily-prayer

Every blessing to you all.
Adam
