Hi all,
How are you settling into the new pace and style of living? I hope you are adapting well to these strange times. As hard as it seems right now, like all things even this shall pass. Today is Palm Sunday but it’s also Passion time. The word Passion comes from the Latin phrase to endure. Jesus certainly endured during this time as we are called to endure now. I trust you are doing more than simply enduring and are finding new ways to enjoy and thrive in this enforced furlough. To this week’s notices then ….

THIS WEEKS SERVICE
This week Helen sounds a little bit squeaky when she sings, I’ve tried 2 in 1 and WD40 but to no avail so to spare you my tuneless wailings please find below the link to the sermon and prayers followed by links to two songs from YouTube you may like to join I with at the end.

SOME SAD NEWS
*REDACTED ONLINE*
SIMON’s REFLECTIONS
Simon has produced some reflections which I have shared with you all by e-mail. If you have access to our or the circuit’s Facebook page you will also find them there. In due course I will share these and other devotions via our blog page; I still need to find the time for that. If you haven’t received them please let me know and I will share them with you directly.
JAM & IMPACT
We continue to meet each Sunday at 10:30 am where we share in some remote craft for the younger JAM members and some study and questions for the older IMPACT folks. If you have children in the family that would like to join in please get in touch we meet via Zoom.
OUR RAINBOW
Have you been passed the Church on your daily exercise? If you have you may have seen our digital sign is now displaying a giant rainbow amongst it’s other encouraging slides. Take a look if you exercise that way J
That’s all I have to share today, if you have something you’d like circulated do let me know!
Many Thanks
God Bless you all!
Jon
