Dear friends,

Be careful,’ Jesus warned them.
‘Watch out for the yeast of the Pharisees and that of Herod.’
Mark 8:15

If you missed Sunday's service, do watch on our YouTube channel.

Next Sunday's 10:30am service includes the Lord's Supper and Tom Hart will be preaching on Mark 8:29-9:1. Sunday School will be looking at the parable of the prodigal son.

Sponsorship for Phearak: Our sponsorship funds for Phearak Moeng, the teenager we supports in Phnom Penn, Cambodia, are getting rather low. If you would like to contribute, please contact (Mike Schofield) or place a donation in an envelope marked "Phearak" and pass to Peter.

The next Men's Breakfast will take place on Saturday 15 February at 8:30am in the Church Room.

On Sunday 23 March at 3:15pm there is a fundraising event for Mercy Ships with poems, stories, and the church band. Refreshments provided. Entry is free, but donations to the work of Mercy Ships will be appreciated. Mercy Ships deploys hospital ships to some of the poorest countries in the world, delivering vital, free healthcare to people in desperate need – find out more here.
