We welcome you all to our services today: if you are a visitor or worshipping with us for the first time, we hope you will feel ‘at home’ and return again soon.
We especially welcome our good friend Dave Kitchen who is leading our worship this morning. It is always a pleasure to have Dave with us and we look forward to this time of fellowship with him.
Tea and coffee will be served in the hall following the service, and handmade cards will be on sale. Please join us for this time of informal fellowship.

- We remember those of our fellowship who are experiencing periods of loneliness.
- We give thanks for those who ‘work’ every week so that we are able to share worship together.
