Parish of GHM

As usual our service on Sunday will be going live at 10.30am on Our Youtube Channel – We begin to look at the Psalms in our new series “Honest to God”

How do we call out to GOD and share our joy, anger, lament with him – Does he even want to hear? Do we dare to be honest about how we feel?

The Psalms are exactly that – honest conversation – from us to God and back again. Join us as we start a new series looking at why the Psalms are important and some of the major themes we can all identify with.

This week we will be introducing the series and spending some time looking at Psalms and how they are part of our worship and form Honest conversations to God.

We will have space for us to write our own version of a Psalm. Please join us for coffee afterwards as our breakout groups will include space and time with facilitators to create a Psalm together.

All you need is a A4 piece of paper or a print out of this document.

See you on Sunday..

These are the same each week until further notice.

This Sunday we finish our mini series on the Holy Spirit and the Challenge Jesus gave to all who follow him. We have got to "The Ends of the Earth".
Don’t forget a pen and A4 paper!

We have 2 interviews this week – one is from missionaries that our Parish supports. If you didn’t know about the Torren family working in Kyiv, Ukraine you can find out more here. Sarah used to attend St Philip’s Church.

In the coming week we will be praying and blessing the Parish by leaving hearts with a tag on them saying that we’re praying and offering the opportunity to send in prayers. Meeting details are not entirely finalised but they will be available here soon.

Next week we will start a new series to take us through the summer. It is called "Honest to God" and we will be looking at the Psalms together.

We meet online this Sunday again at 10.30am

This week our topic is "Going to Samaria" – to the other, to ‘them’, to those we find hard.

We have started a phone in service on Wednesdays at 10.30am. We have contacted all those who would usually attend this service, but if we’ve missed you out – please get in touch.

This week we are going to be looking at what “Taking the Gospel to Judea” could mean for us today. What does Judea represent for our everyday life and what can we learn from the Disciples in Acts. Our Youtube Channel

We will be looking at Acts 3 – 4:31 which is an easy reading story but also quite long – it would be good if you had time to read the story beforehand. As we will have time to get stuck into the unfolding story and its what that means for us today. Please come armed with a piece of paper and a pen each or print this document off.

We will have space for some reflection or conversation within your households as we go – it could even spill over into coffee break out groups if you would like.

Questions about Lockdown

On another note – we have been asking questions about how the Lockdown has changed how we do church and what we think about church. We have four questions and have made a list of statements under each. Please can you fill this in online ASAP? Even if you had a hand in making it – please still fill it in!

We hope you can join us again this Sunday 10.30am. https://bit.ly/GHMVideo is the link as usual – you’ll need paper and a pen as usual too!

We are continuing our theme of looking at what the verse in Acts 1 means

“You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”

This week we look at Jerusalem.

It was a bit of a rush for coffee afterwards so perhaps we’ll move it back to 11.30 again?
