Other Notes

  • Whole-Church Prayer-Meetings: 5th and 19th | Small-Group Prayer-Meeting: 12th & 26th.
    • 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 1 Corinthians. All church-members have been encouraged to read that book and to consider Christ as you do. Those attending the groups (Women’s Evening / Men’s Breakfast / Bible Club), do keep a note of observations and questions to share with/ask your group. The next Bible-Book-section will be Matthew 1-9.  
  • 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 Tuesday the 5th of November. We are due to have a whole-church prayer-meeting on that day. Since it is Bonfire Night, we’re going to have the meeting earlier with a “bring your own picnic” option at 5pm and then the meeting proper being 5:45pm – 7pm. We encourage families to bring their children to that picnic/prayer-meeting, with the freedom to go home straight afterwards, or to pay to go to the fireworks display at the rugby club which some will choose to do.
  • The Remembrance Sunday 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 Service with lots of hymns and a good news sermon, with special focus on a Biblical response to war. Click here to see an invite.
  • Note that Rhodri and a few other AP members will be attending the wedding of Marni Thurm to Sam Li in Cardiff on Thursday 21st of November.
  • The CU say: “If you haven’t been to our promise auction before it’s a really fun event where CU members will send in promises and people will bid on it if they want that item.
    Some promises last year included people offering to clean kitchens, knit hats, bake cakes or host parties.
    We will make sure there is promises that are useful to church members, like walking dogs etc.”

Evangelistic Resources for the Festive-Season

CHRISTMAS GOOD NEWS: Evangelistic ETs

Mike has ordered 100 copies of this Newspaper to be used at the book-table, but if you can think of a friend or neighbour who you would like to give this newspaper to, then head into the bookshop over the next few weeks and pick one up.

AP CHRISTMAS CARDS

Our main Christmas Evangelistic Project this festive-season is the Alfred Place Christmas Card Project. Watch this space for news on Christmas Card signing events over the coming weeks, ready for December where 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 will be on the front of every card:
