Church Family News 19.10.25
Dear Friends,
How does belonging to Jesus change: Who you are? Where you are? And how you live for him? Well, in Church on Sunday we are going to be looking for answers from these wonderful words…
“Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.”
Colossians 3:1-4. NIV 1984.
We meet twice this coming Sunday morning in Loxwood Church. Looking together at Colossians 3:1-4…
8:30am - BCP Holy Communion
10:00am - Family Worship, with groups for the kids & followed by refreshments.
Everyone is welcome & we’d love to see you there!
With love in Christ,
Revd. James Forward

Women’s Breakfast
Women's breakfasts take place every other month in Loxwood Church and everyone is welcome. It is a time to get together, enjoy a delicious continental breakfast with unlimited tea and coffee and listen to gifted speakers talk about a variety of different subjects.
The next breakfast will be on Saturday 18th October. 09:00-10:30am. We are welcoming Louise Davies who will be speaking to us about 'Journeying with The Waymaker'.
The cost is £7.00 per person. We accept cash or card payment on the door.

All Souls Memorial Service
All Souls is a chance to remember and give thanks to God for those whom we love that have died. All the details are on the invitation below which will be sent out in due course to all families that have had funerals with us in recent years.
But it is open to everyone, and if you would like to have the name(s) of a loved one read aloud as part of the service, please contact Emily in the office office@alflox.org
Remembrance Sunday
On 9th November we will be marking Remembrance Sunday in both villages. Communion will be served at the 8.30am service in Alfold, followed by services at 10am in both Alfold and Loxwood. Children’s Groups will be available in Loxwood. Both services will conclude with a time of silence and an act of remembrance at 11am.
Vision Dinner
If you missed our Vision Dinner last month, there is still a chance to catch up and find out what were all about. The recording of the talk, and our new Vision Card can be found on the The Vision page of our website.
Pilgrim Groups
Pilgrim Groups are a place of deeper fellowship, where we support one another in prayer, and go deeper into God's word together. If you are not already in a Pilgrim Group and would like to join one, please do e-mail Richard or speak to him in church. richard@alflox.org
Prayer Central
Our 1st Wednesday of the month Prayer Meeting is coming up next on Wednesday 5th November. We will meet in Loxwood Church Room. We meet at 7.30pm for refreshments, 8pm to sing and pray, and we always finish by 9pm. There is never an obligation to pray out loud. God hears the prayer of our hearts just as well! Please do join us.
Year of Prayer
Psalm 127 says ‘Unless the Lord builds the house, those who build it labour in vain.’ Monday Morning | Loxwood Church Room | 9am-Midday | Drop in Drop Out | Come and pray for God to build.
Discover
Have you ever taken the time to discover what Jesus actually said about himself? Come and join us in a relaxed setting as we take a closer look. We meet in the Onslow on Monday nights and look through a bit of John's Gospel (which is a biography of Jesus' life) together. No question is silly or off limits. Everyone is welcome. If this could be right for you or a friend you know, drop me an email at andy@alflox.org Every Monday Night. 7.30-9pm. The Onslow Arms.
