For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. (John 3:16)

Working Men

The next Men’s group meets at St Michael’s on 20th June at 7pm.
Come to help with jobs around the church, or just for company. Talk about faith in a relevant, practical way. And don’t forget to bring a friend!

Making sense of Revelation

In troubled and confusing times, how can the book of Revelation speak to us? Come along to St Michael’s at 10.30am  tomorrow (June 18th) as we find out how these strange words of God from long ago apply to us today:

Our next craft day…

… isn’t just for knitters! St Michael’s will be open from 10am to 4pm on Thursday 15th June. Bring along any craft you like, or just drop in for a chat or cup of tea. We will also be having a bring and share lunch from about 12.30pm.

It’s a great opportunity to invite friends, and make new ones. Spread the word!

Our next coffee morning…

… is on Wednesday 14th June from 10.30am onwards at St Michael’s. Come for coffee, conversation and raise money for a good cause.

This month we are supporting Prospects Together in Plymouth who provide opportunities for adults with learning difficulties to engage in worship and grow in their faith. Talk to Rev Tim or our churchwarden Mary to find out more.

 

Building the church of the future

Our Monday evening group may be small, but it is a lot of fun! Yesterday we were looking at the work of the Holy Spirit. Although we can’t see the Holy Spirit, we can see what He does. Rather like the magnets in this construction kit, for example.

So the challenge I set the group was to use the kit to build a church and this is what they came up with after three quarters of an hour:

It may be small, but it’s perfectly formed, with vestry and children’s room – a magnetic church which hopefully will attract many. Next week we may even have a vicar to go with it! This all led very naturally into the theme of the week, which was Jesus’ teaching on being salt and light in the world (Matt 5:13-16)

We are really hoping and growing that the group will grow. So…

June 19th, 7.30pm at St Michael’s we are having a party. It will feature cake, and praise, and maybe a film. All the young and young at heart are warmly invited. It promises to be a very special occasion.

Pentecost Worship and Picnic

This Sunday June 4th is the first Sunday of the month, so it’s time for another All-Age Worship! There will be activities, there will be music, there will be praise and worship and prayer – can you afford not to be there?

This Sunday is also Pentecost where we will celebrate the coming of the Holy Spirit. So after the service we will be marking the end of Thy Kingdom Come by taking our picnics up to Devonport Park.

Everyone welcome, and let’s be ready for what the Lord will do!
