Sunday Worship Services
This coming Sunday we will hold our first worship services of 2021. Our Epiphany Service with Holy Communion will be held both in church and online. Epiphany celebrates that Jesus has come for the whole world and we think of the story of the three kings visiting Jesus. Our online service will be available to view on our YouTube channel from 9am on Sunday. Our service in church begins at 10.30am – pre-booking is not required. Sunday Xtra follows a service sheet this week.
Prayer for Epiphany
God our King, the star that led the Magi to the stable announced to the world that its Saviour was born.
Today we live in a world that is still covered by darkness, and still needing to make that journey to the stable door.
May our lives reflect your light day by day, as we seek to serve where you have placed us.
That we might be the means through which others can encounter Jesus Christ.
Amen.
