today. If you are a newcomer please

will find in your pew, or on the table near the door of the church, and hand it
to one of the welcomers. Communicant
members of all Churches are welcome to receive Holy Communion. If you are not receiving Communion please
come to the altar rail for a blessing and carry a book so the minister knows.

Readings: Acts 4.5-12 1 John 3.16-24 John
10.11-18
Post Communion: Merciful Father, you gave
your Son Jesus Christ to be the good shepherd, and in his love for us to lay
down his life and rise again: keep us
always under his protection, and give us grace to follow in his steps; through Jesus Christ our Lord. AMEN
