In Christ - New Self

This is the final week in our series in Ephesians - In Christ. This week we are going to draw everything together as we learn what it means for us to be found in Jesus. Just as someone might take of their night clothes when the dark night is over and put on their day clothes - so Jesus’ people are to put off their old way of life and be clothed with the new life for the new day.

Together we are going to be exploring what this looks like in practical everyday ways. Challenging, certainly. Encouraging, absolutely. So come and join us as we conclude our series - and why not pray that together we would be “made new”.

Children’s groups will continue this week and refreshments will be served both before and after the service.

School of Prayer

This week Enable groups meet again after the half term break. You may well remember that ENABLE is all about exploring the wonderful ‘means’ that God has given us so that we can serve Him with the whole of our lives.

Last term, we were exploring the great enabler that is ‘one another’ - God has placed us in the church that we might support and encourage one another in living for Him. Over the first part of this course, we looked at the book of Revelation and explored what it looks like to be the church that God would have us be.

Now, for the second half of this term, we come to the second our enablers - the wonderful gift of prayer. For the next four sessions we are going to be thinking about prayer together.

Harvest Thanks

A message of thanks for the donations given on Harvest Sunday.

Christmas Shoebox Appeal

Don’t forget that you can bring items to church for the next two weeks for this years shoe box appeal. There is a festively-wrapped box at the back of church for donations.

Weekly Prayer Points

Each week there will be a few things for our church life and church family that we can join together in praying for:

1. We firstly want to give thanks for the opportunity this season brings to invite friends and family into the church with the different events that will be happening. We pray for those who will be visiting our church for the first time. May they feel Your presence and see Your love in us. Help up to hospitable and welcoming to all those who come through our doors.

2. This week let us pray for our mission partners Richard and Riekje Wallace as they continue their work with the Divine Expedition Training in Sierra Leone. Please also pray as for Richard’s induction service at Datchet Baptist Church on the 25th November where he will be starting his role as part-time pastor.

3. Finally we pray for the congregation at St Allen Church that God will direct their pathway at the present time.
