In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
Genesis 1 v 1

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 the members of our congregation who are taking part in our songs of praise 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

Our new Anna Chaplain – Mr Jastine Diaz – will be visiting us here at Lexden on Tuesday 2nd September at 11am for a cup of tea and a chat. It would be lovely if we could have as many people as possible who could be here to meet him.
Please remember Jastine in your prayers as he begins his work in the circuit.

Methodist Prayer Handbook 2025/2026. Copies are available on the table in the entrance priced at £4.65 each.

Our Harvest Festival will be celebrated on Sunday 21st September with a service of Holy Communion led by Rev Hannah Chun. We shall be collecting for the Colchester Food Bank – food with a long shelf life, toiletries and cleaning products or money. Thank you.

Link to Hope – we shall be collecting for their shoebox appeal again this year. You can fill a shoebox – labels will soon be available – or bring any of the items on the contents list available on the table in the entrance. These boxes provide much needed Christmas joy to families or the elderly so we ask you to be generous in your giving.
Please take a moment to look at the photos on the notice board.

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.
