1. Sunday 6 March
Services at 9.30 am and 10.30 am (also live-streamed). The passage is Mark 8:22-38 and the theme Decision Time.
Messy Church will run from 4 -6 pm. It will be an Easter Celebration – an opportunity for everyone (and families in particular) to share in Jesus’ death and resurrection. Is there someone you might invite to come with you to it?
2. Easter Cards
Thank you to everyone who took an envelope of Easter Cards to deliver to a street last Sunday. About half of the envelopes remain. Could you take one this Sunday? It’s a great way of reminding people about the key weekend of our faith and prompting them to think about coming to a service. You’ll find the envelopes beside coffee on Sunday.
3. Hunger Lunch next Sunday
After a break Hunger Lunch returns next Sunday at 12 noon. It’s a simple lunch of soup and rolls, tea and coffee. You donate the cost of a normal lunch and this goes to support the orphans project in Malawi the congregation is linked to.
4. Good Friday Witness
On Good Friday (18 April), a wooden cross will be carried from the Harbour Cross to the front of St Andrew Blackadder Church. A group will gather at the Harbour Cross (opposite the Lifeboat station) at 3 pm, which was when Jesus was hung on the cross. Outside the church at about 3.15 pm, Mark’s account of Good Friday will be read out loud. You are invited to be part of this act of witness.
5. Myanmar Earthquake Appeal
Various groups are collecting to support those affected by last week’s earthquake. NB Rotary is one. They are supporting Shelter Box who provide kits that provide immediate shelter in a box. Collectors with buckets will be at the doors on Sunday.
