Kingsland News November 2014 The news across the world at the moment is rather worrying, with the Ebola epidemic raging in Africa and hostages' lives at risk under the hands of the Islamic State movement. It is with this in mind that I have put into the pattern of services for November a Vigil Service for Peace on Sunday 16 November at 6.30pm. There will be silence and readings and space to pray and I hope you will come and join your prayers with others. th
The vigil is in the month when we remember the great cost of war and especially this year when we recall that, a hundred years ago, the first world war began. Let us work and pray to make sure that the peace that we have enjoyed is treasured and guarded, and that the events we see in our newspapers are laid bare in prayer. Open the Book returns to Kingsland Church after its dramatic first story of the Good Samaritan with real live donkeys thanks to Andrew and Sue Cross! This will be on Wednesday 5 November with coffee and cakes at 2pm for friends and family and th
then the Open the Book service at 2.30pm with another instalment from the Lion Storyteller Bible. All (ages) are welcome. It finishes at 3pm in time for the Kingsland school children to get back for the buses. Lucton School is bringing a time of readings and music for remembrance on the evening of November 11 - so perhaps you will come along to that. The end of November is the beginning of Advent and time to start preparing for the coming of our Lord - the prince of peace. There will be a weekend event over the last weekend in November where you can come and buy some of your Christmas presents and enjoy some seasonal music, and then on Sunday November 30 at 6.30pm in the evening will be the Advent Carol Service - with music, readings and prayers to put everything in perspective again - our place in time and space, and the hope of the coming of Christ as we remember his birth at Christmas, and hope for his coming again to bring justice and eternal light and peace. th
