A Little Update – Sunday 3rd Sept

We’re excited to have an opportunity to hear directly from Stuart and Lynne Little on the evening of Sunday 3rd September as they lead our monthly Gathered to Pray service. They’ve been serving with Mercy Ships for the past 5 years – come and find out what life is like on board ship, what they’re doing now and what their future plans are. We’ll start with refreshments and cakes at 5pm followed by the Littles’ presentation at 6pm with worship and opportunities to pray for them. If you’re able to provide cakes or biscuits please let Wendy R know.

Church directory

If you’ve recently joined CBC and would like your contact details to go into the church directory, please email Ruth in the church office on office@corshambaptists.org.

Next Sunday 27th August

Just a heads up that all three Sunday congregations will be worshipping together at Priory Street next Sunday from 10.30am. This is because Church on the Green will be unable to use the MOD community centre which will be out of action for a couple of weeks.
