ST MARY’S & ALL

SAINTS’ NEWS

7th Jan, 2018 Epiphany 1 Welcome to our service today! We meet in the

name of Jesus Christ to celebrate what he has

done for us, to listen to the word of God and to

speak to God in prayer. Children are welcome

at all of our services! At the 10.30, when it’s not

an all-age service, there is a crèche called

Scramblers (0-3), Explorers (4-7) and

Pathfinders (8+). Listen out for

announcements about refreshments served

after the service.

Happy New Year: Jesus Christ

is the Alpha and the Omega,

the first and the last!

Missing Key Amnesty. One of the

keys has recently gone missing

from the church key box at St

Mary’s, making it difficult for

some of our volunteers to get

where they need to go. If you

think you might have taken in

home by mistake, please get it to

Jenny or one of the Wardens.
