A Note – We are very fortunate to have wonderful musicians. At the end of a service they will usually play a piece of music that gives us all time to reflect on the message given that day, as well as a moment when, in our own way, we can thank God for the privilege of being in church and able to share with those around us, as well as enjoy a lovely piece of music. Despite sometimes the eagerness for folk wanting to chat and/or go through to morning tea, please would you consider those around you who are enjoying the music and those who are still in contemplative mood regarding the morning’s service. Thank you.
COVID: With the continual numbers of COVID emerging in all areas of the world in which we live, it is absolutely vital that if you show any symptoms –PLEASE STAY HOME! Some of you will be aware of several of our members having health issues and it is really important that we do not in any way jeopardise their continuing treatment and/or good health. Thank you if you have stayed away from church when you were unwell – your care and thoughtfulness protects everyone. Irene Gray, Parish Clerk.
A very warm welcome to all who worship with us this morning, especially our guest speaker Don. Many thanks to Warren Pettigrew for collating our service today. Rev Hugh Perry will be with us next Sunday.

MOVIE NIGHT Saturday 25th November 5.15pm: Half a Sixpence – “If I had the money, I’d buy me a banjo” says struggling salesclerk Arthur Kipps (Tommy Steele). Soon he’ll inherit enough to buy a whole bloomin’ orchestra. But can his newfound wealth buy happiness?Based on H.G. Wells novel ‘Kipps’ Arthur is introduced to the joys of Edwardian London music halls. With a cast of high-stepping, high-spirited singers and dancers having the time of their lives, Half a Sixpence gets you a million dollars’ worth of fun!
