We hope you enjoy our Services, if this is your first visit to Lawn Community Church,

please take a leaflet from the notices table. We’d love you to begin to feel part of our Church Community outside of a Sunday service. If you haven’t already found it, do pay a visit to the Welcome and Notices table at the end of the service. Pick up some info leaflets & ask any questions. If you use Facebook take a look at us ‘Lawn Community Church’.

Happy Birthday

Edna Dean was a much loved member of

our church, and with her husband Rob, part of Joy & Barry's Home Group. Edna had a wonderful sense of humour and strong faith. In recent years Edna has been living in Downs View House, one of the Homes where John Roe and Derek Bateman have led monthly services. Edna's funeral is Thursday 2nd June, 11.15am at the Crematorium followed by a gathering in Room 2 at Lawn Community. (Edna has outlived most of her relatives so it would be good to see as many of us who can make it come to the service. If you are able to bake some cakes for the gathering afterwards please let John Roe know 430522, thank you)

copies 020 7233 0455. ‘For you have been called to live in For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.’ Hebrews 4: 12 (ESV)

1st

Lord of all truth, thank You

recognise the blessing it can be in our lives. Amen

Pray for pastors, counsellors

and those with listening, prayer and support ministries to consult and increasingly depend upon God’s living Word – recognising how effectively it brings freedom, healing, comfort and peace.
