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
The third of the Warwick Ministerial Alliance Lent Services for 2026 is this Tuesday, 10th March, at 7:00pm. The church is Peace Lutheran Church, located at 154 South Road, Paget.
The following Tuesday, 17th March, will be our turn at Christ Church to host the Warwick Ministerial Alliance. We’re hoping for a strong turnout by our congregation. As well, volunteers are still needed to provide refreshments for fellowship after the service. If you can help, please contact the church office as soon as possible.
If you would like to contribute in memory of a loved one towards this year’s Easter Sunday flowers in the church, kindly contact the church office. Monetary donations of any amount can be made, and you may have your loved one commemorated in the “In Memoriam” booklet if you so choose.
A volunteer will be needed to coordinate the distribution of Easter flowers on Easter Monday, and several volunteers will be required to take down the flowers in the church and deliver them that day.
Note that weekly services are now being live-streamed on YouTube and are once again being video-recorded.
