The Marriage Course
This is a course that Holy Trinity Brompton has been running for many years. JPC has run these in the past and many people say the biggest benefit is set aside time to talk and focus on your marriage! Zoom means many with children will be able to make it, but please prioritise the seven weeks – with a break for half term. See https://www.themarriagecourse.org/ These are the topics cover each week:
• Building Strong Foundations
• The Art of Communication
• Resolving Conflict
• The Power of Forgiveness
• The Impact of Family – Past and Present
• Good Sex
• Love in Action
The cost will be £5 per couple, which covers the cost of the journals. Contact Liz Jackson for any more details or questions, especially if cost is an issue - do say!

Morning Service 'God's Glory through Our Salvation'
World Mission Sunday
This morning Pete Alston will be preaching on 'God's Glory through Our Salvation' from Isaiah 49:1-7 & Acts 13:44-52 - We can think of God’s mission accomplished in two Acts. Isaiah 49 describes act 1 in part – the coming of the Son of God, Jesus Christ, as the Servant. The books of Acts describes act 2 – the outpouring of the Spirit to the end of the earth. Pete Alston asks us what it looks like to live in act 2 and think through how we pray for, give to and go out into the mission field.

Communion Meal
Breaking bread, sharing fellowship
It was common in the early church to share the Lord’s supper over a meal - and that’s what we will do on this Wednesday. Over the evening, as we eat together and take communion, we will also hear from three people about how the Lord’s supper, and reflecting on the death of Jesus, is significant for their faith. We’d love to see you there!
Sign up online before 12pm Tuesday 29th October with a contribution of £4 for the meal.
