Bible Reading:
自幼恃主求其扶助
71 耶和華啊,我投靠你,求你叫我永不羞愧。
2 求你憑你的公義搭救我,救拔我;側耳聽我,拯救我。
3 求你做我常住的磐石,你已經命定要救我,因為你是我的巖石,我的山寨。
4 我的神啊,求你救我脫離惡人的手,脫離不義和殘暴之人的手。
5 主耶和華啊,你是我所盼望的,從我年幼你是我所倚靠的。
6 我從出母胎被你扶持,使我出母腹的是你,我必常常讚美你。
7 許多人以我為怪,但你是我堅固的避難所。
8 你的讚美,你的榮耀,終日必滿了我的口。
9 我年老的時候,求你不要丟棄我;我力氣衰弱的時候,求你不要離棄我。
10 我的仇敵議論我,那些窺探要害我命的彼此商議,
11 說:「神已經離棄他,我們追趕他,捉拿他吧!因為沒有人搭救。」
12 神啊,求你不要遠離我!我的神啊,求你速速幫助我!
13 願那與我性命為敵的羞愧被滅,願那謀害我的受辱蒙羞。
述其公義救恩大能奇行
14 我卻要常常盼望,並要越發讚美你。
15 我的口終日要述說你的公義和你的救恩,因我不計其數。
16 我要來說主耶和華大能的事,我單要提說你的公義。
17 神啊,自我年幼時你就教訓我,直到如今我傳揚你奇妙的作為。
18 神啊,我到年老髮白的時候,求你不要離棄我,等我將你的能力指示下代,將你的大能指示後世的人。
19 神啊,你的公義甚高;行過大事的神啊,誰能像你?
20 你是叫我們多經歷重大急難的,必使我們復活,從地的深處救上來。
21 求你使我越發昌大,又轉來安慰我。
22 我的神啊,我要鼓瑟稱讚你,稱讚你的誠實!以色列的聖者啊,我要彈琴歌頌你!
23 我歌頌你的時候,我的嘴唇和你所贖我的靈魂都必歡呼。
24 並且我的舌頭必終日講論你的公義,因為那些謀害我的人已經蒙羞受辱了。

ANNUAL CHURCH FÊTE Saturday 28 September 2024
We plan to hold the autumn fête this year on Saturday 28 September 2024. So we are asking you to ‘clear out your clutter’ and donate pre-loved items to the fête. The annual fête hosts stalls with lots of pre-loved items, large and small, cakes and other treats along with outdoor activities for our younger visitors. There will also be the usual treat of a lovely afternoon tea. We are hoping for a good team of volunteers to help with the many aspects of the day.
Whether you can help donate goods, make jam or cakes, assist with set up, help on the day…. the opportunities are wide and varied. We hope to be able to start gathering donations soon……….so please use this as an opportunity to declutter the house, the garage and the garden shed. You can leave your donations on the stage of the St John’s Hall or if you need help with bringing your donations to the church please contact Heather or Austin on 07751 574964.
Let your friends, family, neighbours and work colleagues know of the opportunity to donate goods and within reason, we can accept most items, even small items of furniture. We can’t accept electrical goods. More information will be issued nearer the time but please put the date in your diary and it will be a great opportunity to meet up and spend time with friends.
Thank you Heather & Austin
