Songs, Sermons and Servants – January 2010 - This month we have three baptisms (two infant and one adult) and communion on the last Sunday evening. We will begin a new series on 1 John on the morning of the 17th and then on the 24th we start a series on Song of Songs. Before then we finish off the first section of the catechism - questions 37 and 38 - the benefits of death and resurrection for the Christian. We hope you will be able to join us but if not we will try to put up the teaching on these the week after they are done. The orders of service for the whole month are below:
