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.

Notices

After this special service celebrating the ‘birthday’ of Christ Church Warwick, there will be a congregational lunch in the hall – with birthday cake!

The flowers in the church today are in loving memory: 

Happy Birthday on May 4th to two angels in heaven.  Dick Kempe would have been 86 & Doug Kempe would have been 50.  Sorely missed every day by their loving family & their many friends.

Next Sunday, 10th May, there will be an informal Communion following the 10:00am church service.

May’s Messy Church will be on Saturday 16th May.

Anchored (our monthly Contemporary Christian Worship service) will be held on Sunday 24th May – Pentecost.  (Anchored is being held one week earlier than usual this month, to celebrate Pentecost.)

Fabulous Friday in May will be on 29th May.  (Because of the Bermuda Day public holiday on the fourth Friday of the month, Fabulous Friday will be one week later, on 29th May.)

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