Nima Branch Leader Joyce Christine
On November 8th 2018, Canon John Gravell was our guest speaker and his topic was "being a saint". Being a saint does not depend on what we do, but on God's call. If we respond to His call and trust in Him, we are sanctified in Christ Jesus, and enter into a new relationship with Him. We do not become perfect beings, but are a work in progress. Alleluia!
On Sunday February 10th, to celebrate the coming St. Valentine's Day, St. Catherine's Mothers' Union invited members of the congregation to bring their wedding photos which were displayed around the church and shown on the screen during the service. Below are photos of past and present members of the M U. More photos and parts of the service can be seen on the Junior Church page.
Our Mary Sumner Day was held at St. Edmund's Tycroes on Friday 9th August where the service of Holy Communion was led by the Revd. Suzy Bale. This was followed by a sharing lunch in the church hall.
