Welcome! Those of us who worship and minister in the three churches
of The Glen Group pray that your visit will have brought you closer to the
God whom we have learned to love and serve. A children’s corner has been
set-aside in each of our churches for children to sit and play. At Communion,
please bring the children forward for a blessing and a sticker. We invite all
who are confirmed or full members of any Christian church to share in
Communion. |

Once again this year we are holding a Memorial Service at St Laurence's Church for families who have lost a loved one in the past twelve months. While families who have had a funeral service conducted at St Laurence's during the past months will receive a letter of invitation, anyone who would like to remember a departed loved one is very welcome to attend the service. Please use the sheet in church to list the names of anyone you would like remembered. Our Confirmation Candidates Please remember them in your prayers (see page 4). Giving in all of life Christians are challenged to be generous
in every aspect of their lives. It’s not only about giving money but offering
hospitality, giving time and using our skills – in our churches but also in
our homes, our workplaces and communities. Giving is the outworking of faith.
In which area do you find it easiest to give? Which do you need to work at?

Reflection on today’s readings Today’s gospel reading bristles with tension and
difficult questions. Will Jerusalem
repent and be rescued? How are Jesus’
fate and the fate of the city linked?
What is God up to? There are
other questions for us to ask ourselves:
What is God up to in our world today?
In our lives? Are we bearing
fruit for God’s kingdom? |
