Join us at 11 a.m., St. Andrew’s Church, Coniston, Cumbria.

On Bible Sunday we will reflect on the importance of the Bible and look at how it can speak God’s word to us.   During the service we will be making an Origami Dove to represent the word of God, the Bible.  A Bible Society Video of China will be shown to highlight the growth of the Church there and the need for more Chinese Bibles.

Our final hymn will be an acappella version of Santo, Santo, Santo.

Monday, 9 September 2013, St. Andrew’s Church, 7:30 p.m. Induction service for the Reverend Tim Harmer.  We look forward to welcoming our new Priest-in-Charge of St. Andrew’s and St. Luke’s churches.  The Bishop of Carlisle has appointed the Reverend Tim Harmer, an experienced Priest, who together with his wife June, who is a Commissioned Lay Minister in the Church of England, will move into the Vicarage. He is appointed on a House for Duty basis which means he will work for 20 hours per week in return for the use of the Vicarage.

We look forward to September when Tim and his wife June move to our community.

For Lent – God is closer than you think

Leave a reply

God is closer - book front

Teaching Theme for February and March during Lent

A study following the thoughts of John Ortberg, pastor and author, who encourage us in the belief that God is near and knowing him is possible for everyone who wants to feel his presence: “The teaching of Scripture is that God really is present right here, right now…. The Spirit of God is available to you and me: flowing all the time, welling up within us, quenching our unsatisfied desires, overflowing to refresh those around us.” Ortberg’s suggestions”to believe that God is in everything, to seek him in the daily and mundane, to learn to recognize and encourage God-inspired thoughts, to look for him in the people you meet and to obey his promptings, though not new, provide us with a series of ideas and activities to begin to change the way they see God in their lives.

God Is Closer Than You Think: This Can Be the Greatest Moment of Your Life Because This Moment Is the Place Where You Can Meet God
