From PieterAll 10,000 people in Knaphill can see in MyKnaphill that the service in the Baptist Church on Christmas Day starts at 11:00am. Should have been 10:30am. Oops. 😊 Christmas preparations On Monday 11 December is the Christmas party at Renew 88. All are welcome! Renew 88 will be open on Christmas Day in the afternoon. You can take this into account when planning your day. If you are thinking of coming, do let us know. Ideas for activities are very welcome. Cards We have so far received Christmas cards from the South Eastern Baptist Association and from Matthew. Matthew writes: ‘Wishing you merry Christmas and many salvations in 2024.’ Like previous years, Hetty and I will not be giving out cards in the church and instead spend the money on a donation to a charity. Carol singing Two more opportunities to sing this year:
Thursdays There will be prayer meetings on 14 and 28 December, and 4 January. The Romans course continues on 11 January. From the deacons On Tuesday we spoke about how some Baptist churches have grown (spectacularly) and what that means for us. We will continue this conversation on 23 January. We have already concluded that as a congregation we need to pray more intentionally about church growth. Please pray for us as we consider these things and feel free to talk to us about them. |
