Good Morning & Welcome
Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many people, and He will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for Him.

Message from Paul
Moving on in our reading from Hebrews, we’re now in the throne room of God, and we’re going to need His mercy if we’re to withstand the white heat of His presence. Fortunately, we only arrived there on the merits of our great High Priest, so we’re accepted! The reason that we’re accepted is because this High Priest offers Himself before the living God, having shed his own blood in full satisfaction for the sin of the whole world. Thus we learn much in chapters 9&10 of this letter about the totality of the salvation that comes to us through Jesus:
Full atonement – can it be?
Hallelujah! what a Saviour!
Service for Jack Hywel-Davies
On Monday at 12noon in the church is a service in memory of Jack Hywel-Davies. Joan says that all are welcome.
Note: because of the large numbers expected please try to park elsewhere or walk to the church, thank you.
