CORRECTION: We don’t need Physician’s Addresses…. we need your Physical Addresses to get you your palm crosses and Easter ribbons. Sorry that (and probably other) typos crept in! As you were…

A little treat is on its way…

With any luck, for all those who have given me your Physical* addresses, your packs should arrive on Saturday. [And if you haven’t yet done so, get in touch quick - we have Palm crosses and Ribbons and all sorts of Holy Week Things ready to go next week!]

But if not, don’t worry: you don’t need them to join in with the live interaction on Sunday afternoon

Instead, the packs are designed to give you some things to think about… and even munch on… through next week.

In our Sunday Zoom this week we are reflecting on what it means to welcome each other into Jesus’ family – the church in action right here – drawing inspiration from a story from Jesus’ life. We'll tell the story of what happened when some Greeks wanted to meet with Jesus, and approached his friends, Philip and Andrew….

I wonder, how do we respond when people really different from us want to join in? What gifts do they offer? What makes it scary?

Hoping to join us online this week?

If you are joining us for live interaction, you might want to bring your candles, and a set of housekeys.

As always, make yourself at home by bringing drinks, crafts, etc (there is a colouring in the pack, or download an extra one here), but don’t feel you have to. You are most welcome just as you are!

In preparation, you might like to try to remember who you first met when you came to Northstowe, and who has helped you feel welcome within the church family and wider community. You might even like to tell us about it during the session.

Not going to make it, but keen to stay in the loop?

This week’s topic just didn’t fit well with a pre-record. So we hope you might make it live. But if not, you might enjoy watching this video (which we’ll share together in our zoom)…

Be More Us

You might like to read and reflect on the story recorded in John 12:20-33…

And you might like to listen to this track while asking for forgiveness for the times when we have been unwelcome gatekeepers… and then join us in praying that, as we prepare for the next season of being Jesus'-followers here in Northstowe:

Restore in us your image,
make us new,
and strengthen us to live for you,
bringing you the glory
that is due
for your mercy.

Looking back, looking ahead

You might also enjoy listening again to a recording we made almost a year ago - another story of Welcome and Uncomfortable Change, this time from the life of the early church. It was made by some of our young people, and featured again in tonight’s Evening Encounters, together with a beautiful song.
