Go Now in Peace
Go now in peace, never be afraid,
God will go with you each hour of every day.
Go now in faith, steadfast, strong and true.
Know he will guide you in all you do.
Go now in love and show you believe.
Reach out to others so all the world can see.
God will be there, watching from above.
Go now in peace, in faith and in love.
(See back cover of hymnal for music.)

Notices

Anchored, our new Contemporary Christian Worship event, will be held this evening, at 6:30pm in the Thorburn Hall.  Fellowship begins at 6:00pm, with tea and coffee.

Next Sunday, 3rd May, the 10:00am service will be a special service celebrating the ‘birthday’ of Christ Church Warwick.  Per Martin’s invitation in Friday’s Weekly Bulletin e-mail:

• We’ll be giving thanks for our forebears
• We’ll be presenting a refreshed vision of what we believe God is calling us to in the days to come
• We’ll be welcoming new people into our church family
• And afterwards? A congregational lunch with cake!

    Please do your best to join us for this occasion, and if you know someone who hasn’t been in church for a long time, or someone who isn’t part of a church, why not invite them to come with you?

    Please refer to the Weekly Bulletin, sent out by e-mail, for more information about church events.

    Note that Sunday church services are live-streamed on YouTube each week, with the video-recordings posted online afterwards.
