DAVENPORT METHODIST CHURCH NOTICE SHEET

Worship for Sunday 12th April

Our Worship will be led by Mr Keith Tonge, the Steward on duty will be Colin Lewis. Next Sunday as part of the Year of Prayer for the Circuit we have been given sunflower seeds, small pots, and compost. The idea is that each congregation plant these seeds at some time either during or after the service. I have spoken to Keith, and he is giving some thought as to how we might do this.

Our Minister Raj will be going on Sabbatical from 7th April until 13th July. During this time Deacon Jude Laycock will have pastoral care of us at Davenport. On Sunday 19th April Jude is preaching at the Ridge Methodist Church but she will come down to Davenport as quickly as she can just to say hello to as many people as possible. Please stay and meet her if you can.
