Easter Day

He is not here; he has risen! Luke 24 v 6

A very warm welcome to you all especially if you are a visitor and to those who will be watching the DVD during the week and to Rev Hannah Chun who is leading our worship with Holy Communion this morning.

PRAYER

Please pray for our Ministers – Rev Chris Preece, who is now on sabbatical, 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

Love Feast – a very big thank you to Shiela for arranging this and to her daughter-in-law for providing the music and to Hannah for the wonderful service. We were all given the opportunity to share something we are thankful for and share prayers as the breads and juice were distributed.

Easter Offering Envelopes – hopefully you have all had the chance to return your envelopes by today. If you would still like to donate, please see Viv.

A Testimony Service for Rev Hannah Chun will take place on Sunday 11th May at Wimpole Road Methodist 6.30pm. They are planning to livestream the service if possible. David Chapman will open the service and Chris Preece will be preaching.
Although, Chris will be on sabbatical, she will be at the testimony service and at Hannah’s ordination.

Christian Aid Week is from 11th to 17th May. Instead of envelopes there is an internet link for anyone wishing to support this cause. The link to the electronic envelope is: https://fundraise.christianaid.org.uk/envelope-2025/colchester-methodist-circuit-envelope

Healing Conference on 17th May at Methodist Central Hall in London. The theme is ‘The Transforming Power of Spoken Blessing’ with speaker Roy Godwin. Please see the poster on the notice board for more information.

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.
