  • Weekly news for 19.1.25

    Dear Friends,

    Here is the news for the coming week

    A little word 

    Lead a life worthy of the calling to which you have been called, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, making every effort to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to the one hope of your calling, one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is above all and through all and in all. Ephesians 4.1-6 (NRSV)

    This week is The Week of Prayer for Christian Unity. For over 100 years Christians across the world have prayed during this week for a visible sign of unity between followers of Jesus. This year the church also celebrates 1,700 years since the council of Nicaea agreed on the Nicene Creed which we still declare today. Most weeks we say as part of the creed, “we believe in one, holy, catholic, and apostolic Church.” We declare that despite our differences, as followers of Jesus we are called to be people of peace. People who lead lives ‘with all humility, gentleness, with patience, bearing love with one another’.

    Things to pray for

    • Give thanks for the unity we share, especially with those who are different to us.
    • For the Israel/Gaza ceasefire; that it might happen, be observed, and result in a meaningful way forward.
    • For our PCC meeting on Monday.

    This Week’s Headlines

    Café Church

    On Sunday 2 February we are launching a Café Church style service. This will replace our current 1st Sunday of the month all-age worship slot. Our hope is this new style of worship will help us in our worship together as a church family. There will be refreshments throughout, and the church will be set up in the style of a café. Over the next few months as we try out Café Church, we would love to hear your thoughts and feedback. Flyers are available to give to people who might be interested. If you have any questions or want to find out more speak to Will or email him on will@pitsmoor.church. 

    Sitting Room

    Sitting Room, a simple open invitation meal, happens on the third Thursday of the month. There is space for extra volunteers. You need to be available from approx. 6pm to 8.30pm to help cook, set up and clear up. We need 3 volunteers each time. If you would like to join the rota (being prepared now) or find out more speak to Pip or Ali.
