Hi everyone,
It was good to see so many of you out at our Remembrance services last Sunday. It is more important than ever for us to keep in our minds that sacrifice that people were willing to make to preserve freedom and fight against division and hatred.
Last week also saw the launch of our Farrington Coffee Morning on Thursday's from 10.30 to 12 noon. Please come along and show your support for this new outreach.
I’m still ‘on mission’ this week and so will not be around much until Sunday.
I appreciate all that prayer that is going on in our midst at the moment. Please continue to press in and call on God to build His kingdom and help us care for those in need.
‘Men is Shed’ will still be on tonight, and don’t forget this Sunday is ‘Safeguarding Sunday’ where we highlight the importance of good safeguarding practice and the impact that organisations can have when they work to care for the vulnerable in society.
Following that we have a speaker from Open Doors on the 23rd and a Mission focused Benefice service on the 30th.
You can find out more about Open Doors here: https://www.opendoorsuk.org
Bless you and see you soon,
Adam

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.
