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.

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

CAN YOU SPARE A FEW MOMENTS FOR A CHAT?
Mrs Phyllis Quinton is 99
years young and a member of our church but unable to share in worship or go out
alone. She is the only permanent resident at the Park Hotel and
appreciates the company of visitors. The next few weeks are ‘children’s weeks ‘
so Phyllis will have less company - hence the question! Just pop in and
say hello, she loves a chat.

KINA
As a requirement of my training, I will be running a
course at Palace Avenue called "Finding Faith at the Movies." It will take
place on Wednesday evenings in September. It will involve watching clips
of a film; exploring connections between film and faith by examining the bible;
and a time of discussion. The topics will be:
03 September - Saving Private Ryan – Sacrifice
10 September - Dead Man Walking - Repentance: Why is confession good for the
soul?
17 September - Smoke Signals - How do we give and accept Forgiveness?
24 September - A River runs through it - How are memories vehicles of Grace?
The sessions will run from 19.30 to 21.00. If you would like to take
part it would be great to see you. The maximum number I can accept for the
course is 12, so I have attached a sheet to the notice board in the foyer
for any interested parties to 'sign up' and I will be in touch with you nearer
the time. Thanks, Kina.
