Happy New Year for 2018 from us all in the Parish of Christ the King, #Meltham.

We pray for a blessed, peaceful and healthy 2018 and hope to see faces old and new connect with God through our 4 churches in the Parish.

PLEASE PRAY for our Parish of Christ the King, for Rev’d Charlene as she prepares for her new ministry, for Revd’s Peter, John, Dennis and Judy as they continue to support us faithfully, and for a new vicar to be called to come to Meltham to take us on into the future.

READ THE GOOD NEWS
Luke, Chapter 2 vv 15-20
“But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart” (v19).
As we continue to ponder ourselves on the familiar Christmas story, what treasures do the stories of the shepherds, wise men, Mary and Joseph tell us about the baby born to be our Saviour?
