Sunday 11 December 2011 - Welcome
What you might need to know If you are new to this church you may be interested to know :- There is a loop system for those who are hard of hearing, Crèche is provided for babies/toddlers in the hall, and a Sunday Club group is available for pre-schoolers to age 11 in the hall from approx 11am. Please stay after the service to have a coffee/tea and biscuits, these are available in the hall.
If you would like someone to pray with you after the service, please either ask someone you know and trust or move to a seat on the front row where Mike or a nominated person will be available. Do not feel too embarrassed to do this. We believe in prayer.

If you are a box holder can you please return it to Mary Lacey before Sunday 11th Dec. Lighthouse Quiz is now available at £1 per copy. This year’s topic is – Parts of the Body – E.g. Rowntrees did fruit ones - (4) gums. Last year we sold 120 so hopefully we can do the same this year. Why not put one in a Christmas card to a friend - they will have a chance of winning £20.00 and it will certainly help Lighthouse funds.. Thanks you for all your support for Lighthouse - Val Allcorn Christmas services- please note that there is a service at Cherry Garth this year – hopefully at 3pm on Monday 19th – please come along and sing some carols. Also this year it is our turn to host the Christmas eve service. This will be a quieter reflective service – a calm before the excitement of Christmas day. It will start at 11:15pm and finish at 12:01am…!!!!! Mince Pies Wanted ……..!! if you can provide some mince pie for after next Sundays services that would be great – there is a list by the coffee hatch for more details. Christmas Cards – Why not write one card to the whole church instead of writing one to everyone – just think, instead of spending £1 for a card for every member (approx £60), you can spend £1 on one card and then donate the £59 you saved to Spurgeon’s Childcare ….!!! We will also be giving our Christmas day collection to Spurgeon’s Childcare. Restore Hope Latimer HP5 1TU. “THE LIGHT OF GOD’S PRESENCE”- Wednesday 11th – Saturday 14th January.
