MtE Update – November 26 2020

  1. The most recent Synod eNews (Nov 19)
  2. Worship update: Worship this Sunday November 29 will be our first fully-gathered service since the March shut-down. The service will also be live-streamed, with the links to this stream accessible from the congregational home page. We have sufficient space to accommodate those members of the congregation who would like to attend the service. VISITORS who would like to attend should register their interest and can be admitted only up to the maximum number allowed in the building. Visitors should register their interest prior to the service by contacting the minister via his email address on the contact page. We ask for your understanding should we not be able to admit you on the day.
  3. There will be a Congregational meeting on December 6 to consider the 2021 budget and mission and ministry focuses for next year.
  4. This Sunday November 29 we move into the season of Advent; details of the readings are available here; our focus text will be Isaiah 64

MtE Update – November 19 2020

  1. TONIGHT NOVEMBER 17 — an online concert featuring Donald Nicolson: Details
  2. Worship update Worship this Sunday November 22 will be a live-streamed service. This means that the service will commence at 10.00 am on our YouTube channel; you’ll find the links on the MtE homepage and can arrive ‘early’, ready for the start. You will either need to tune in at that time, or wait until the service is finished, at which time you will be able to view the recording of that service. (And, as with normal gathered services, you can also ‘arrive late’ in the live version, and simply slip in at the point the live service is up to!). We presently expect that the November 29 service will be a gathered service in the church building, also live-streamed for those who cannot yet join us in the building.
