*New* Bible Study on Psalms – Tuesdays 10.30am & Wednesdays 8pm
The book of Psalms is the church’s original prayer book, the book of the Bible we turn to in times of joy, sadness or when searching for help. Many of the most comforting Bible verses that help sustain us, that we may have memorised, come from the Psalms: “Your word is a light unto my feet”, “In peace I will lie down and sleep”, “The Lord is my Shepherd”, “The Lord is my light and my salvation, whom then shall I fear”. So, would you like to know more about the book of Psalms? Would you like to delve into the Psalms and find out more about the context and the story behind them? Then join us via Zoom on any Tuesday morning at 10.30am or on any Wednesday evening at 8pm. All are welcome to join using these zoom links: ✅Click here to join on Tuesdays at 10.30am ✅Click here to join on Wednesdays at 8pm

We are deeply saddened by the sudden passing of one of our church members, Simon Tennant, who died suddenly last Thursday evening. Simon was an active member of our church family for many years, serving as treasurer and singing in the choir amongst many other things. We will miss him immensely, and ask that you hold his wife, Pascale, and daughter, Clara, in your prayers. Nous sommes profondément attristés par le décès soudain de Simon Tennant, décédé subitement la semaine dérnière. Simon était un membre actif de notre famille anglicane pendant de nombreuses années, servant de trésorier et chantant dans la chorale, entre autres.
