A contemporary service with good Bible teaching
and music. Our children and youth teaching
programme runs during this service, but on most
first Sundays of the month everyone is in church
together for 'All Age' worship [see the
programme for the actual dates]. On the second
and fourth Sundays of the month we usually
celebrate Holy Communion.
We are looking at the book of Acts to find out
what it tells us about Jesus and the early church
and what this shows church should be like today.
On first Sundays of the month we will be thinking
about trusting Jesus.
MIDWEEK HOLY COMMUNION
On the first Thursday of each month – through
th
rd
the summer this falls on 5 June, 3 July, and
th
7 August - a service is held in the church hall,
starting at 12.00 noon, followed by a light lunch.
SEVEN MARKS OF A HEALTHY CHURCH
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
Energised by faith
rather than just keeping going or trying to survive
Outward-looking focus
with a ‘whole life’ rather than a ‘church life’
concern
Seeks to find out what God wants
discerning the Spirit’s leading rather than trying to
please everyone
Faces the cost of change and growth
rather than resisting change and fearing failure
Operates as a community
rather than functioning as a club or religious
organisation
Makes room for all
being inclusive rather than exclusive
Does a few things and does them well
focussed rather than frenetic

CHILDREN AND YOUNG PEOPLE
SUPPORTING ST JUDE’S
There are many ways you can play a part in the life of
St Jude’s. Giving time to pray for it and help as a
volunteer are excellent things to do, and so too is giving
money for its work. If you value what goes on at St
Jude’s please consider giving money in support of its
Christian mission. There is a leaflet - What should I
give? – available at the back of church or from our
website - to help you think about this and you can
always talk to Phil, the vicar, or our Planned Giving
Secretary, Howard Perrin, on 424164.

ST JUDE’S HOME GROUPS
If you want to know about a mid week group that

Phil Robertson or Simon Fenner (tel 896434).
