Our services will be 'live streamed' with the intention of only recording those leading the service. Please note that those in the front seats may have the back of their heads in view.
OUR APOLOGIES for the lack of streaming a service on Wednesday due to the lack of trained hardware technicians. If you could help please contact Marcus or Simon. There will be NO streaming of the service on Wednesday this week for the same reason.
ie. we need somebody who can set up the equipment. OUR grateful thanks to those who help operate the equipment on a Sunday allowing so many people to join in our worship from afar.

Heavenly Father,
you have welcomed us into your kingdom
and your heart's desire is to draw every human being to yourself.
Grant us clear eyes to see people as you see them,
sensitive feet to stand in their shoes,
and warm smiles to welcome them in your name.
Give us such generous hearts,
that our church becomes a foretaste of heaven
where every soul you send us finds their loving home
in the community of your Son our Saviour Jesus Christ,
Amen.
Bowl of Prayers
You are invited to place the names of those you would like prayed for into the 'Prayer Bowl' as you enter the Church. These people will be prayed for in confidence during the service.
The Prayer Bowl can also be used for prayers of thanksgiving or continued requests for prayer, as it is emptied each week. So please feel free to continue to put the same names or situations into it that are on your heart and mind.

Spiritual Communion Prayer
Please pray this prayer during the distribution of Communion in the church if you are joining us online or are not receiving communion.
Thanks be to you, Lord Jesus Christ,
for all the benefits you have given us,
for all the pains and insults
you have borne for us.
Since we cannot now receive you sacramentally,
We ask you to come spiritually into our hearts.
O most merciful redeemer,
friend and brother,
may we know you more clearly,
love you more dearly,
and follow you more nearly,
day by day. Amen.
