This Sunday - Grace upon grace

We look forward to Malcolm Henderson preaching on John 1:15-18 as we conclude our time studying this rich prologue to the fourth gospel. Sunday Club and Sunday Youth are meeting for the last time this year. Refreshments will be served before and after the service and our livestream will also be broadcast.

Starts tomorrow - Prayer and Thanksgiving

A reminder about our prayer event. From 8am tomorrow (Friday 9th) through into Saturday we are asking if people will commit themselves to prayer for one hour. Ideally people will book in for a slot (either by themselves or with others) and come to church so there can be a sense of mutual encouragement and handing over the baton. If this isn’t possible then don’t worry, we’d still love you to join in from home. At the time of writing there are nine slots remaining (inc some dayime ones). If you click on the Churchsuite page you will see up to date information on these.

This is being organised by Sian Goddard and Jenny Stevenson, do contact them to sign up for a slot - their details are on Church Suite. Click on the link below to find an FAQ for the event. Below is also a link that will allow you to join the Whatsapp group for this event so that we can encourage one another.

Christmas services -

A reminder of our services over the coming weeks. Please note that whilst 10.15am remains the time to arrive for refreshments on the 18th December (with a 10.30am start), on Christmas Day there are no refreshments and the service will actually start at 10.15am. Still plenty of time to extend our invitation to friends, family, colleagues and neighbours.

Women’s Breakfasts 2023

We had a lovely time last Saturday at the last Women’s Breakfast of 2022. Please do pop the dates for our 2023 programme in your diaries. We are excited to be looking at Jesus through the eyes of the women who met Him.

Calendars for 2023 on sale

Hanna Oakes, a member of our church family, designs postcards/artwork to help people reflect on/treasure/share scripture under the name Oakshed. These are available to buy at the back of church and now include 2023 Calendars. Worth considering for Christmas presents!

St Kea Away Day 11th March 2023

Last July, many from St Kea All Hallows came on our Away Day. We started at Epiphany House with two talks from Vaughan Roberts on Ephesians 1 and 4 and then enjoyed some time on the north coast.

The St Kea leadership team (Heather Alford, Hugh Barne, Ben Goddard, Martin Handford, Lucy Larkin and Hanna Oakes) are proposing that we repeat this in 2023 and we have chosen a date in March to avoid the busier summer months. We’d love some input and help in shaping this event so please do get in touch if you’d like to be on the planning team.

Weekly Prayer Points

This week’s prayer points:

1. Pray for our Christmas Services. Pray that they will be well attended and that any visitors will feel welcomed and intrigued to hear more about Jesus.

2. Please pray for Kenwyn Church and Andy Boorne as he continues to settle in to serving the church family as their focal minister.

3. As many unions across various sectors take strike action please pray for the people involved and all those affected. For wisdom, fairness and a way forward to become possible.

4. Please pray for the Barnabas Fund as they continue to stand by Christians around the world who are suffering as a result of their faith. Perhaps also give thanks for the freedoms that we have enjoyed in this country.
