  Tonight's Service  - Prayer For Healing Service - Sunday 29th January

  his healing power. Faith building scripture, a short talk and communion will be

   followed by an opportunity to receive healing prayer for you or someone else

  you care for.

  Forthcoming renovations in church:

  the building of the toilet and refreshment point is shortly to begin. Please bear

   with us in terms of adjustments and rearrangements. Coffees will be served

  from another point in the church. The lending library has also moved position.

   The children's space is now on the south side, and we are entering through

  the west door.

  Old ASB prayer books (1980):

  This has excellent sections with the Marriage Service much better than

  Common Worship. If you would like a copy there are many spares available.

  Please take one or more fom beneath the font.

  If you have ideas as to where old music books can be recycled please speak to

   Graham.

  Hello 'Budding' Flower Arrangers!

  Please join us at Buckland Chapel for Wed. 1st February, 7.30pm for 8.00pm

  Home Group Leaders Workshops

  To help grow our Home Groups we are asking Mike Law, of the Christian

  Resource Centre and author of one of Scripture Union's Multi-sensory series, to

   run a workshop for us. We are blessed with healthy groups, but we believe that

   there is need to form new ones (care home, daytime, short term, different day,

   etc). For this we need people willing and able to lead them or relieve

  experienced leaders to do so.

  If you are an existing leader or have lead in the past, you are invited to come

  along and be encouraged and share your experience. If you would like to

  know what leading a Home Group entails, then please sign-up. Mike Law will

  provide some input but can also share our experiences. The workshops are

  currently planned for the mornings of Saturday April 28th and May 5th. Firm

  details to follow. Please register your interest to:

  Audio Recording - Graham's Sermons and more!

  We have started recording our 10:30am service at St Andrew's and are making

   selected items available via our website www.bucklandchurch.com . When

  you make your selection from the website it takes some time to download and

  there is no indicator to show it is happening, so please be patient. We can

  only make some of the service available online due to copyright.

  It may be possible to make a CD of the service available. We would have to

  charge for the audio CD's to cover costs only. Do you know house bound or

  elderly folk who would appreciate a CD popped through their door or a short

  visit to drop one off? RSVP

  Children's Activity

  We enjoy having the children for the beginning of the service to join in some

  of the songs and a short talk. They can then go across to the school where

  there is a crθche for 0-3s and supervised play for 3-8s.

  Next week is our family service. The children stay with us for the whole

  service and are encouraged to take part in the talk and songs. There are

  plenty of books, colouring sheets and puzzles at the back of the church for all
