PRAYER FOCUS
O Spirit of God who speaks to our spirits, created in your own
likeness; penetrate deep into our spirits, into the storehouse of memories,
remembered and forgotten, into the depths of being, the very springs of
personality. Cleanse and forgive, making us whole and holy, that we may be
yours and live in the new being of Christ our Lord. Amen.
Please pray for those unable to share in worship with us for any reason.

HEALTH & SAFETY
Read and digest the
contents of the Fire Evacuation Notices near the Exits. If the Fire Alarm
sounds, leave by the nearest Exit and assemble in Palace Avenue Gardens.
DON’T
FORGET….. the church is open every Monday and Wednesday morning from 10.00 to 12.00
Please make use of this in any way you would find helpful; come and sit quietly
for a few minutes; pray or ask for prayer for yourself or others; or spend some
time looking at the church website on the computer behind the organ. There are
always two people available if you would like to talk about anything at all and
there is normally a coffee morning on in the foyer on a Wednesday as well. So, why not make a
visit to
Palace
Avenue Methodist Church on a Monday and/or Wednesday morning – it might be just the
‘oasis’ you need.
Monday and Wednesday
Coffee Mornings:
Extra help is needed for coffee mornings in the church foyer from
10.00 to 12.00. If anyone can spare the time to help, say, once a month,
this would be appreciated. Helping with coffee mornings can be both
enjoyable and rewarding. Please
contact us for more details.
