Collect for second Sunday of Lent

Almighty God,
by the prayer and discipline of Lent
may we enter into the mystery of Christ’s sufferings,
and by following in his Way
come to share in his glory;
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen

This months contemporary worship will be led by the new young adults small group. Bridging the gap between University and real adult life, the young adult small group meets together every Sunday morning at 9am for breakfast and bible study. As an ever growing group we are committed to supporting each other as we face new and bigger stages of our lives….e.g having careers and thinking about getting married, and also how we can contribute to church family life here in Childwall. At this service we will study together the Holy Spirit our great counsellor. Please come along to share in this first ministry as a group, and to meet some newer members of our church family.

Fairtrade Fortnight   22nd Feb – 7th March

The theme of this year’s Fairtrade Fortnight is the Big Swap and the aim is to encourage people to start brewing up with Fairtrade tea – at church, at work, at home – everywhere! Fairtrade guarantees tea producers a minimum price for their tea and enables them to earn a living wage and invest in the  development of their communities.

The next Fairtrade stall will be at 10am on Sunday 21st February to kick off Fairtrade Fortnight.   Please come and support it and see if you can think of a  new place to pass on Fairtrade frivolity!

Thank you.
