This Week at Immanuel

1.30am Colin will preach on Acts 6:8–8:1 on Sunday morning which records for us Stephen’s speech and death. Stephen was the first Christian martyr.

6.30pm We’ll be studying Ezekiel 18 on Sunday evening. Whereas the people believed that children suffer for the sins of their parents, Ezekiel made clear that ‘the soul who sins is the one who will die’, but whoever turns from their wicked ways will live. We gather in the presence of God to hear his word and to give thanks to him in prayer and praise. Everyone is welcome to join us.

We meet for prayer on Sunday evening at 6.00pm in the Nelson Room before the service of worship at 6.30pm. Tea and coffee will be served after the evening service.

The Bright Hour is on Tuesday afternoon. The speaker this week is John Weir. All women in the congregation are invited to come for this time of fellowship.

The service next Sunday morning will include the sacrament of the Lord’s Supper. That means the midweek at 7.45pm on Wednesday will take the form of a pre-communion service.
