Sunday 6th November 2016

This week we welcomed back Rev. Ian Montgomery, and it is so lovely to have his wife Polly with him this time. Thank you to you both for spending this time with us and for providing a lovely service.
Let us pray for Ian as he prepares for next week's special Remembrance Day service. Don't forget 10am next Sunday 13th November. We will be joined by the Royal Legion and many other members of the public, including the British Ambassador, Anwar Choudhury. So let's be prepared to give them a great big welcome and show they what a wonderful community we are here at the Good Shepherd. 
The Eucharist service will only be at 8am next week due to this event.
