LEXDEN METHODIST CHURCH

Notices for Week Commencing 16th February 2025

Who knows? God may yet relent and with compassion turn from his fierce anger so that we will not perish. Jonah 3 v 9

We offer you all a very warm welcome especially if you are a visitor and to those who will be watching the DVD during the week and to Peter Howard and Alan Beesley who are leading our worship this morning.

PRAYER

Please pray for our Ministers – Rev Chris Preece and Rev Hannah Chun.

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

NOTICES

Maundy Thursday – we are thinking of holding an Agapé Love Feast on Thursday 17th April at 10am. We will have a show of hands this morning so that we can gauge possible numbers.

The Story of Jonah – Geoff has managed to secure a few copies of last Sunday’s service at Castle when Jonathon Sparkes dealt with exploring Jonah chapter 2. Please contact Geoff if you would like a copy. Alternatively, it can be seen on Television or home computer by going to YouTube, searching for Castle Methodist Church and selecting the service for 9th February 2025.

A Circuit Retreat Day is to take place on Saturday 22nd March at Mersea Methodist Church. The day will be led by Rev Dr Sheryl Anderson who, until last summer, was Chair of the Liverpool District. Exact timings are to be confirmed (mid-morning to mid-afternoon). Further details will follow but for the time being, please SAVE THE DATE!

An Anna Chaplain – this is an exciting new venture for the circuit to share the love of Christ with others. There are leaflets on the table which explain this in full. Please take a copy.

Rev Hannah Chun is due to be ordained on Sunday 29th June in Telford. Following the morning service, where she will be received into Full Connexion, the ordination service will take place at St Chad’s church in Shrewsbury from 4pm. It is hoped both services will be live streamed into Wimpole Road for people to be involved in celebrating Hannah’s special day.

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. A short service of prayer and reflection. Everyone welcome.
