We look forward to welcoming you back to Findon Church at 10.00am on Sunday,
6th December, when the Monarch's Way Singers will join us for an uplifting music led worship, and members of the congregation will introduce their favourite hymns.
This is an all age service - please join us!

we can continue to worship and to meet the needs of the church family and the community in our parish.

the soul of our being unlocked, to welcome you;
and the gate of our life flung wide, for your entering in."

and in caring for vulnerable members of our community through practical acts of service.

God of compassion,
be close to those who are ill, afraid, in isolation
or concerned about their jobs and businesses
In their loneliness, be their consolation;
in their anxiety, be their hope;
in their darkness, be their light;
through him who suffered alone on the cross,
but reigns with you in glory,
Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.
