Nigel Desborough is giving a lead to the service this morning.
Sam Rowe will lead the sung worship, and John Putley will preach from the book of Nehemiah, chapter 7.
Our tea and coffee time at the end of the service is very important. It gives us a chance to catch up with each other and to get to know one another better.
If you are new, please stay. You are very welcome!

(2nd February—2nd March 2010)
Opening balance - £20,060
Income ------------- £14,726
Expenditure ------- £21,082
Closing balance -- £13,704
There was a substantial excess of expenditure over income in February. This was due mainly to paying for 3 months’ use of Sydenham High School, extra staff costs (with Andy & Jo Flack helping with our youth work), and some spending on Switch It!.
