LEXDEN METHODIST CHURCH

Notices for Week Commencing 5th February 2023

But we preach Christ crucified. 1 Corinthians 1 v 23

A very warm welcome to you especially if you are a visitor and to those who will be watching the DVD during the week and to Jonathan Sparkes who is leading our worship this morning.

Prayer Requests – Please keep Adina in your prayers.

Please pray for our Ministers Rev Joe Adams and Rev Chris Preece.

Continue to pray for all others who are in any way troubled, lonely, unwell or bereaved and anyone else who needs our prayers.

NOTICES

The Methodist Ramblers are starting up again after Covid. The first walk will be a 2.5 mile walk on Tuesday 7th February from Castle Methodist Church at 1.30pm to Lexden Methodist Church. Then on Tuesday 7th March there will be a 4.5 mile walk from Lexden Methodist Church at 1.30pm to Castle Methodist Church. More walks will be announced later.

Chair of District – Rev Dr David Chapman – will be leading worship at Mersea Methodist Church on Sunday 26th February at 9:30am. As we do not have a service here at Lexden on that day it would be nice if as many of us as possible could support Mersea by attending their service.

Serving the Present Age – Circuit day on Saturday 4th March between 10am and 3pm at The Ark. This will be a day to ‘springboard’ our thinking and help us to come together, share with one another and begin to think about where we go next as churches and for this to feed into wider Circuit thinking.

Sunday Services on DVD – If you, or anyone you know, would like a copy of our Sunday morning service on DVD please speak with Geoff or one of the stewards.

Midweek Prayer Time – every Thursday from 9:30am. A short service of prayer and reflection. Everyone welcome.
