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.
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 22 we mark the festival of the Reign of Christ (Christ the King) with Bruce Barber as our preacher. We will hear most of the set readings in the weekly lectionary (Ezekiel 34 replaced by Daniel 12.1-4a); see here for more details.
