to know, grow and show the love of God
Jesus the king wore a crown of thorns; his throne was a cross; his royal banner a scribbled sign.
This is the gospel image of royalty; the king and a criminal going together into paradise. This is the king we believe in; the king we celebrate and whose values we are pledged to live by.
May his kingdom come. May we be accepting of his authority in our lives and may we serve him. Jesus – Christ the King
Our next Sunday@Seven service is November 24th in the Barritt Room in the hall at St John with St Mark’s. The theme this time is ‘Waiting for the Lord’, which is taken from Psalm 130.
I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits,
and in his word I put my hope.
People are often unreasonable, illogical and self-centred; Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives; Be kind anyway.
If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies; Succeed anyway.
Here our details for our Advent & Christmas activities and services this year at St John with St Mark’s, Bury and Christ Church, Walmersley.
From Bible Studies to Brass Bands, Christingles to Carols.

Shortly after the destruction, the cathedral stonemason noticed that two of the charred medieval roof timbers had fallen in the shape of a cross.
He set them up in the ruins where they were later placed on an altar of rubble with the moving words ‘Father Forgive’ inscribed on the Sanctuary wall.
Another cross was fashioned from three medieval nails by a local priest. The Cross of Nails has become the symbol of Coventry’s ministry of reconciliation.
The grace of God shows its full colours in the glory that is at work in all of God’s people who are called to be saints.
That grace which is at work in you, the saints of God who are in Bury.
The real and ordinary people who here and now hold in your hands the invitation to that wedding, along with those invited and called from the first days of Christianity until today, from every country in the world.
