Thought of the Week:

‘The eternal God is your refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms. He will drive out your enemies before you, saying, “Destroy them!”’ Deuteronomy 33:27 (NIV)
Today is Palm Sunday, the day when Jesus threw down the gauntlet to “overcome the world”, riding into Jerusalem on a donkey, a symbol of peace. Just before Palm Sunday he said to his disciples, “I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world.” John 16:33 (NLT)
Let’s allow ourselves, at this time, to take refuge in the eternal God, who is riding peace into our lives today, that we might experience the comfort of his everlasting arms.

Current News

Palm Sunday Video
If you watched the service online Sunday morning, there was a glitch with the Children's Address and Sermon. (Sorry!).
Both are now available, with pictures, on our YouTube page.

Resources for Easter
For the period of Holy Week, leading up to Easter, here are some resources you might like to use:

Easter Readings and Prayers for each day from Palm Sunday to Easter Day
'Lay Your Cloak Before Him', a story with puzzles and colouring-in sheets to print

Message from Church Council
We will continue to send you our service, over coming weeks, 9am on Good Friday and 9:30 on Easter Day and following Sundays. You can find it in the same place as last week, at our page on YouTube.com.
The many teams in the church are working hard to keep in touch with all of the congregation while we are separated by the virus.
Over the coming weeks you will hear from us by mail or email to let you know How you can keep in touch.

Bryan Mullan — Secretary to Church Council

For the duration of the Coronavirus restrictions,
all of our on-site activities will be suspended.
This includes all the groups who hired our facilities, as well as church meetings.

While we are not meeting at the church, Newscope is being produced each week,
and will be emailed to members, or recent issues can be downloaded here.

No May Garage Sale
Due to concerns about COVID-19, we have reluctantly decided to cancel our usual May Garage Sale
We will donate some items to other charities where they can be used to meet an immediate need.
We will continue to accept small items until 17th April, but we can't store any more large furniture items, and will make further decisions after Easter.

Playgroups

Playgroups are suspended during the current restrictions on gatherings
