To know Jesus better
and so to make Him better known
Coming up
With the relaxation of government Covid-19 restrictions you no longer need to book to come to Holy Communion services in Church on Sundays - just turn up.
However, we are keeping many Covid-19 avoidance procedures to keep you safe:
-
We are all premitted to sing again, but please keep your mask on as you sing and throughout worship for the sake of others who may be more vulnerable than you.
-
There will be a minimum of one seat social distance between you, or your bubble. If you wish you can increase the distance by asking one of the welcome team for an extra "do not sit here" card.
-
You will be invited by a welcomer to come forward for Holy Communion, if you are able to.
-
We are not restarting coffee/tea/cake in the lounge after services but all can chat together in the A2 garden after the service.
Live streamed services and previous services (where recorded) are available through our WORSHIP THIS WEEK web site where you can also access lots of activities and resources for families: click here: www.goldsworthpark.org.uk/wtw

Autumn Sermon Series - The Five Marks of Mission
The five marks of mission have been developed by the Anglican Consultative Council since 1984. Since then they have been widely adopted as an understanding of what contemporary mission is about. The mission of the Church is the mission of Christ:
-
To proclaim the Good News of the Kingdom (TELL)
-
To teach, baptise and nurture new believers (TEACH)
-
To respond to human need by loving service (TEND)
-
To transform unjust structures of society, to challenge violence of every kind and pursue peace and reconciliation (TRANSFORM)
-
To strive to safeguard the integrity of creation, and sustain and renew the life of the earth (TREASURE)

Services in August - Superheroes of the faith
Each Sunday in August we looked at a superhero from the bible.
There was a Playmobil video as well as suggestions for activities and crafts. They are all still available on our Worship this Week Families pages,
1 Aug: What makes a superhero? The Good Samaritan
8 Aug: Moses – even superheroes have helpers
15 Aug: Joshua - Spies, surprises and success (and Kate's final service)
22 Aug: Esther – beautiful, brave and brilliant
29 Aug: David – Puny plus God = powerful
