Dear friends.
Next Sunday evening’s service will be a united one with our friends across the city centre. The service will be at St. Mary Lowgate. Please do come along and experience a form of worship which differs from our own.
Luke
Catherine Reid from St. Mary offers us this invitation:
United Service at St Mary’s, Lowgate
St Mary’s, Lowgate, is a city-centre church dating back to 1333. Its parish includes the many and various offices, businesses and residences located in the Old Town of Hull. St. Mary’s has been a focus of the area’s elaborate and rich local history and at the heart of life for many generations of local people, merchants and officials. Its elaborate interior follows a high-church pattern and it is one of the 476 churches restored by Sir George Gilbert Scott.
St. Mary’s sits broadly in the Anglo-Catholic tradition and Sunday worship (Sung Eucharist 11am) is from the Book of Common Prayer. Sunday Evensong is offered at 6.30pm, Midday Office on Thursdays at 12.30pm, and Holy Communion on Fridays at 12.30pm. St Mary’s is also open on Thursdays and Fridays from 11am – 2pm, offering a quiet place of prayer to people in the city, a place of historical interest for tourists, bric-a-brac, and tea and coffee.
You are warmly invited to our United Service at 6.30pm on Sunday 1st November.
Please come and join us in worship!
Home Mission Boxes
Sheila asks that your home mission boxes be brought in for emptying.
Wesley Guild
Please support the Wesley Guild Coffee Morning next Saturday 10 am – 12 noon. This will be in the Lounge and there will be the usual stalls Cakes, Book and Bric a Brac. To which contributions will be gratefully received.
Prayer and Healing Fellowship
It seems that there is some confusion about whether the Prayer and Healing fellowship on a Wednesday will continue in the absence of Diana. This fellowship will continue as usual, as we consider prayer a vital part of the Church life. All are very welcome. Ron, Marjorie, Doris.

Dear friends.
World Church 18th and 19th October 2009
Whilst holidaying this year from 18th/25th July at Pleasaunce, Overstrand, N.Norfolk Coast, Judy and I had the tremendous pleasure of meeting a lovely family from the south of England; Rob and Lois Baker their three children Madelaine 11yrs, Ruth 10 yrs and Micah 8 yrs of age! Rob and Lois were both teachers in Music and Languages. They were Baptist Missionaries! They had lived for 2yrs in Benin and were flying to “Mali!” (West Africa) on 27/07/09 for 4yrs! We had many conversations whilst on holiday and it was on one of those conversationary sessions that I asked Rob the following question; “Where does the finance come from!” Rob’s answer was plain and simple: “We trust all our lives to God, and he provides!”
We are not the Baptist Church, but we too, being Methodists have people who serve the church far and wide as Mission Partners! They too need our support both in Giving and through our Prayers! We have been strong in both these aspects of faith during my time as your “World Church Secretary and Treasurer!
Our faith is forever ongoing and I am sure our Prayers and Giving will not cease in the year ahead! May I thank everyone who gives and prays for “Methodist Missionary Matters” and trust that today’s services and the Wesley Guild on Monday 19th will speak afresh to our hearts and that God’s name may be Praised!.
Please don’t forget our “World Church Lunch” in the Queens Hall (upstairs) at 1pm> Please also try and support our World Church Wesley Guild on Monday when we shall be having a return visit of Mr. David Clark (Burstwick ) who comes to talk to us of the Persecuted Church! David enjoyed his time with us on the last occasion and looks forward very much to meeting with us once again. I am sure we are in for a wonderful evening!
God Bless
Roger
