Where could God be calling you in 2025?
New year, new you? Is God calling you to deepen your faith or to serve in a new way in 2025?
We have received some information about the 2025 training programme for Licensed Lay Ministers (Readers). If you feel that God might be calling you to this sort of ministry, please do contact Claire and she can talk you through the process.
If you have not been confirmed and would like to explore confirmation, or if you (or your children) have not been baptised and would like to consider this, please do also contact Claire to explore your options.
Advance notice: Trip to the National Memorial Arboretum
As part of a series of events to mark the 80th anniversary of the end of the Second World War, we are planning a trip to the National Memorial Arboretum in Staffordshire. All details are still to be confirmed, but we would anticipate going in late May or early June and the cost would only be that of the coach hire (free entry; bring your own picnic or use the on-site cafe). In order to have an idea of numbers so that we can book the coach, please could you sign up to express an interest (no commitment at this stage) either in the church or in the Community Centre after the service today or in the next couple of weeks. More details will follow very soon.
New Year house blessing
If you were not in Church on Epiphany Sunday when we blessed the church building and took away blessed chalk with which to bless our own homes, chalk and a card explaining how to do it will be available at the back of the church throughout Epiphany season. Just help yourself.
Daily Prayer
Please feel free to leave prayer requests on the cards at the back of the church, and prayers will be offered daily at Morning and Evening Prayer. You don’t need to leave a lot of detail – a name or intention is enough. God knows! Daily Prayer takes place every day except Sunday and Monday at 8.30am and 5.30pm. Please note, however, that there will be no Morning Prayer in church on Friday 24 January.
Treasure Hunt and Pizza Party
Next Sunday 26 January at 2.00 pm
St Mary's Church, Whitkirk
Young people and the adults who look after them are invited to a Treasure Hunt and Pizza Party on Sunday 26 January between 2.00 pm and 4.00 pm (come at any time, stay as long as you like). Complete the treasure hunt while exploring the church building and then come to the Community Centre for pizza. All free, and all welcome!
