SUNDAY MORNING
SERVICES IN JANUARY 2010 ; SERVICE TIME CHANGE TO
Speical activities to follow the service
Back
in September we prayerfully began to consider the possibility of moving our
morning service to 10.00 in order to give us more time after the service to
enjoy each other’s fellowship, and to share different learning and activity
groups.
In November the church meeting decided to have a one month trial of the
10.00 programme, and so from January 10th we will be holding our morning service at
10.00, for four weeks, and each service will be followed by tea and coffee, and
a post-service activity.
On
the 5th week, February 7th, our post-service activity
will be the Church Meeting, where we will decide whether to keep the service at
10.00 for a longer trial. The meeting will be followed by shared lunch.
The
activities we have planned for after the service are;

This is a big move for our church; please pray for the January programme, that is will enable us to get a true feel for how the 10.00 schedule would work, and whether it is right for us to move forward in this way. We want to be good for God!
