SUNDAY WORSHIP
Sunday worship will continue to be held at 10 am but returning to the pre-Covid order of service. The Order of Service can be viewed in advance on the website on the home page www.christchurch.bm

If you know of someone that may have difficulty getting to church, please reach out to them and offer a ride. This past year of isolation has been very difficult and we can all make a difference by assisting those who need help to get to church.

COFFEE MORNINGS ARE BACK
Coffee and cake returns! We will be continuing this every Tuesday morning from 9:30am until 11:30am. Coffee service will be held under the awnings outside of the kitchen or in the West Hall if the weather is bad. Everyone is welcome for food and fellowship!

SAVE THE DATE
Please save Saturday, December 3 from 10 am to 2 pm for the CHRISTMAS FAIR. We will go back to the full fair this year after having to scale back the past couple of years due to Covid. We will keep you updated on the details, but for now save the date!

UPCOMING AGM
Reminder that this Sunday, October 23rd we will hold the AGM after the Sunday service. The financials will be presented for approval at the meeting which were emailed earlier this week to anyone on the Friday message database. Brunch will be provided after the meeting.
