FAITH AND WORSHIP
Midweek Services
Thursdays 10:00amMidweek Holy Communion.
Sunday Evening Services:
For a trial period from 16th January for about three months, Sunday Evening Services will commence at 4:00pm instead of the customary 6:30pm.Quiet Carol Service
Tuesday 21st December 8:30pm
We are holding an alternative Carol Service specifically designed
for people who are not particularly looking forward to Christmas,
for those who find Christmas a sad and difficult period. The
service will be quieter and more reflective. It will be an
opportunity for people to light a candle, to sing a few quieter
carols and to hear the Christmas message of hope and love. It will
also be an opportunity to give thanks to God for happier Christmases
of the past and to seek his strength and comfort for the future.
Prayer Group
Sundays 8:30amThank you to those who have joined in our Prayer Group which meet 'at home' on Sunday at 8.30 a.m. Please let me know if you participated in this so I can let the ‘group’ know.
If there is somebody in your circle of family and friends who
could
benefit from our prayers, or if you have suffered a recent
bereavement please forward the relevant name to the Parish Office.
Prayer Requests
At St. Giles there are opportunities for private and communal
prayer, whether it is lighting a candle or praying with others on
Sunday morning, we believe God hears our prayers and answers them as
may be best for us.
If there are particular issues that you would like prayed for then
please let us know. In particular we pray every Sunday for those who
are sick and for those who have passed away
