Blessing & Benediction
照自己之像造人
26 神說：「我們要照著我們的形象，按著我們的樣式造人，使他們管理海裡的魚、空中的鳥、地上的牲畜和全地，並地上所爬的一切昆蟲。」 27 神就照著自己的形象造人，乃是照著他的形象，造男造女。 28 神就賜福給他們，又對他們說：「要生養眾多，遍滿地面，治理這地，也要管理海裡的魚、空中的鳥和地上各樣行動的活物。」
查彼得愛主之心
15 他們吃完了早飯，耶穌對西門彼得說：「約翰[c]的兒子西門，你愛我比這些更深嗎？」彼得說：「主啊，是的，你知道我愛你。」耶穌對他說：「你餵養我的小羊。」 16 耶穌第二次又對他說：「約翰的兒子西門，你愛我嗎？」彼得說：「主啊，是的，你知道我愛你。」耶穌說：「你牧養我的羊。」 17 第三次對他說：「約翰的兒子西門，你愛我嗎？」彼得因為耶穌第三次對他說「你愛我嗎」，就憂愁，對耶穌說：「主啊，你是無所不知的，你知道我愛你。」耶穌說：「你餵養我的羊。 18 我實實在在地告訴你：你年少的時候，自己束上帶子，隨意往來；但年老的時候，你要伸出手來，別人要把你束上，帶你到不願意的地方。」 19 耶穌說這話，是指著彼得要怎樣死榮耀神。說了這話，就對他說：「你跟從我吧！」

ChurchSuite
You will have noticed that we are using ChurchSuite to communicate with most of you now – sending out the newsletters, rotas, upcoming courses…. It also makes it much easier for our minister Paul to find and connect with you. However, we know that some of you have struggled to set up your personal information on ChurchSuite and others have only partially updated their details.
As a minimum, we ask that you add your telephone number, your email address (if you have one) and your date of birth to aid Paul. If you would like some help, or have queries, please speak to us after church any Sunday (bring your mobile phone/tablet with you).
Allison, Lynn and Marj
