ST BARTHOLOMEW’S CHURCH
Last Sunday’s service at the local church, “Songs of Praise for Epiphany”, was not so well attended! One or two people away and with some incapacitated due to major illness, flu’s, coughs and colds and other seasonal ailments doing the rounds worshippers were somewhat reduced. The service went ahead as planned, with worship leader Janet Webb officiating. After the welcome and opening prayer various hymns and readings took place, all relating to the celebration of Epiphany. The worship leader was assisted by various members of the congregation in the readings and prayers. These were: Monica Hockenhull, Lynne Tweed and Fiona Pagdin. The Collect for Epiphany brought the service to a close and the congregation were invited to remain for refreshments.
The service at the local church on Sunday 13th January will be one of “Holy Communion”. The service starts at 9:15am and everybody is welcome.
