Other Notes

  • Whole-Church Prayer-Meetings: 3rd and 17th [no prayer-meeting on 31st] | Small-Group Prayer-Meeting: 10th & 24th.
    • There are three small-groups led by each of the elders.  Speak to Rhodri, Ian, or Eric if you are interested in joining one of the other two small-groups.
  • The weekly Women’s Fellowship meets on Wednesday mornings, in AP basement at 10:30am (TBC in Sunday notices).
    • Causeway also meets between 11 and 12:30 every a Wednesday, it is a time of worship organised by the staff of Plas Lluest (home for adults with learning disabilities set up by Alfred Place four decades ago). There is singing, reading, prayer, and sharing of the word, all geared at the Plas Lluest residents. It takes place in the Community Space in Tesco. All welcome.
  • The monthly Bible-Reading-Groups’ are currently on Matthew 1-9. All church-members have been encouraged to read that book and to consider Christ as you do. The groups (Women’s Evening / Men’s Breakfast / Bible Club) are not on this month, but do still keep a note of observations and questions to share with/ask one another in conversation. The next Bible-Book-section will be Matthew 10-18.  
  • When able to, those manning the Book-Table go out every Saturday (weather & personnel-permitting) 11am-12:30pm; members, speak to Eric if you are interested in joining the work.
  • Note Thursday 5th of December, 12:15 Rhodri is speaking at Mature Munch, a St. Michael’s Church organised meeting @ The Castle Rooms. It is an event for older people where they are given a meal and they listen to a short sermon.
  • In the Craft Club Christmas Special the children will be making lanterns, in preparation for the Incarnation Celebration. There are some children who aren’t normally able to come along to Craft Club, but we encourage families to make a special effort to be there as this is a special one-off club.
  • The Christmas is Good News Service @ AP is another opportunity to invite friends and neighbours to the church. The service will follow a similar format to the Good News Harvest, and Remembrance Sunday Services with lots of hymns and a good news sermon, with special focus on the incarnation. Click here to see an invite.
  • The Incarnation Celebration is something we tried for the first time last year. The idea is that the whole of the AP Church Family is involved in this event. For the church-family service itself, the children will be singing and showing us the lanterns they’ve made at Craft Club, and a choir will sing. There will also be other contributions from AP members. Speak to Rhodri if you’re interested in being involved.
  • Rhodri and the family plan to be away from the 26th – 31st.

AP CHRISTMAS CARDS

Our main Christmas Evangelistic Project this festive-season is the Alfred Place Christmas Card Project. This December we plan to go around the shops giving each shop-worker a Christmas card containing an invitation to our Carol Service on the 15th. Lydia Brady has drawn and designed a beautiful image which is on the front of every card:
