The Hall is available for hire for meetings and parties and is very heavily booked. Book early to save disappointment. Also, please note that the Hall is not available for hire on Sundays because of the Church's own use. Book with Mrs. Lynne Le Seelleur tel: 07797 841649 or email: lleseelleur@yahoo.co.uk Something to think about: God of grace and glory; Open our eyes that we may seethe world through your eyes; Open our ears that we may hear cries for justice with your ears; Open our hearts that we might share your compassion; Open our minds that we might discern your truth; Open our mouths that we might speak your word; Embolden us with your Spirit that we might: respond to all we see and hear; put into practice what we learn from you; and be messengers of your grace and glory.

Bethlehem Prayer Day - God's Heart
Saturday 3 October 8.00 a.m. to 8.00 p.m. All are warmly invited to attend Bethlehem’s Prayer Day. The theme this year is “God’s Heart….” There will be 6 prayer stations around the church on the following topics :
- God’s heart for me
- God’s heart for those on your heart
- God’s heart for our community
- God’s heart for the church
- God’s heart for justice
- God’s heart for my response
In addition, there will be three simple prayer spaces set up. This will hopefully help and inspire others to use their space effectively. Each church in the circuit will be asked to send at least one representative of their congregation, who would be prepared to feedback any ideas to their church. Come for a time of quiet contemplation, restoration and refreshing. 5 minutes, 5 hours, or all day! We pray that you will be blessed.
