Togo – Unfair elections cause resentment. Known for human rights abuse and ivory poaching. Christian growth through church planting. Pray for older and newer churches to work together.
Masks and Singing The stewards have decided to permit the option of singing without masks during services. Those who wish to take advantage of this should sit near the front of the church and continue with social distancing indoors. Those who would feel safer to be distanced from those who are unmasked, are encouraged to sit near the back of the church. Everyone should continue to wear masks when moving around the building. COVID infection rates remain very high. Everyone should take care and make their own decisions about what it is safe to do.
The Advent course this year called “Fulfilled”!
It will be a delightful advent study that will surely deepen our faith and discipleship as we witness God’s promises being fulfilled and his people being filled with contentment & awe.
EVERY TUESDAY EVENING on Zoom at 8pm (from 30th Nov - 21st Dec)
EVERY THURSDAY MORNING on Zoom at 10:30am (from 2nd Dec - 23 Dec)
The exciting news is that the material for the Circuit Advent Course is now available electronically and we hope to have hard copies available early next week. The course is a fresh way to prepare for Christmas and explores how God comes to us and how we can respond.
A big thank you to the many people who helped make the Concert on Sunday afternoon so enjoyable. From the youngest to the oldest and the wide variety of talent that we shared. From all the performers to the amplification, tea and cake makers and Alfie who moves all the chairs for us. In fact, we couldn’t do it, without every single one of you! A total of £131 was raised for JMA (Junior Mission for All).

Friday 28th January The next meeting of the Circuit Book Club will be held at 7.30pm. We will be discussing '90 Minutes in Heaven' by Don Piper. 'After a truck collided with Don Piper's car, he was pronounced dead at the scene. For the next ninety minutes, he experienced the glories of heaven. Back on earth, a passing minister felt led to stop and pray for the accident victim even though he was told Piper was dead. Miraculously, Piper came back to life, and the pleasure of heaven was replaced by a long and painful recovery.' Do read the book and join us - we would be very pleased to welcome new members.
