Sunday 6th September 2020

Hi folks

September! The month when the kids return reluctantly to school, churches restart their Sunday School classes, GFS groups, Bowls, Mothers' Union meetings! The month we get back into the routine of services after summer! We start thinking about Harvests, Remembrance, Advent and Christmas! How life has changed this year!

Our kids have been delighted to return to church this year following almost six months of isolation at home. Our groups cannot meet up at the moment, and there are no plans to start them in the foreseeable future! Harvests and the other memorial events will happen this year - but what form they'll take is still to be decided.

In the meantime, our services will be remaining in the car park for the next few weeks, although it is inevitable that we will have to return to church in the near future - although some major decisions still need to be taken on this plan.

Please find below the latest service sheets for Sunday 6th September. Join us online or in person in the car park at the Parish Hall, 11am. All are welcome, as always!

Summer Readers

Hi folks As we enter our summer period, please find our readings and hymns for July 2025. Each Sunday there will be a selection of parishioners reading our lessons - as shown on our list. If you're not available for the given Sunday, please feel free to ask someone to cover - and our church wardens and clergy are always available as a backup on the day. Alternatively, if you would like to read a lesson in Church, drop me a message, comment on Facebook, or speak to us at the services. We would love to add new readers of all ages, Gid's Word is for us all. Blessings Johnny

August Hymns and Readings

Hi folks Here's the next list for the readings, readers and hymns for our services throughout August. There are five Sundays this month, and in our normal pattern, our fifth Sunday will be a Cafe Church service in the Parish Hall. As ever - this is just a guide, if you need to swap your date - just let someone know. Thank you to everyone who has volunteered to read each month, and if you'd like to join the list, please let the church wardens or the Rector know. If we need to do so, both David and the Rector are more than happy to fill in for any given reading!

AccessNI Check process

Hi folks Please see the following pages for the process of getting our AccessNI accreditation for our Sunday School and GFS leaders and helpers. You will need to print out the pages and keep a special note of the long number provided to you by email and let me know as soon as possible. We require an Enhanced check for everyone - and use the PIN number 918066 as detailed on the first page. The second page details the forms of identification you will need to provide - one from the first group, and two from the second group. The quicker we can all get the checks completed, the sooner we can get everything back to normal and put this whole process behind us for another three years! If you can photograph yourself (by smartphone or tablet) and email (revdjohnny@gmail.com) or WhatsApp (07488371680) them to me, that'd be great. I will also be available at the Parish Hall on Monday evening from 7pm to 8pm to help you with anything you would like assistance with! If you need any help at all...
