The Gospel Reading is John 3.14-21 the account in which Jesus draws the comparison of the snake for himself, which was lifted up whilst the supporting readings are Numbers 21.4-9 where we find Moses made the Bronze snake and put it up on a pole and Ephesians 2.1-10 in which Paul writes about the sin of humans and grace of God.There will be parallel Children’s Ministry and following worship, Refreshments at the back of the Church as our host congregation will be using the hall that time.

Other things…
My sermon from last Sunday is now available to listen to on our church website. To listen follow the link.
Annual Church Meeting (ACM) and the Church Electoral Roll (CER)
Our ACM will be held following worship, on Sunday 22nd April 2018. To be eligible to either stand for election to the Church Council, and/or vote at the ACM, you need to be a member of the CER. A copy of the current CER is pinned on the noticeboard at the back of the Church. The Church Council will go through the current CER and delete the names of those we know who no longer reside in the Czech Republic, as we are allowed to do, and a revised CER will then be posted.
However, if you joined the congregation in the last year or two and are not on the current CER, now is the time to apply to join. If you are a baptised Anglican/Episcopalian/Old Catholic, you can apply straight away. If you are a baptised member of another Christian Church which believes in the doctrine of the Holy Trinity, and have ‘habitually worshipped’ at St. Clement’s for at least the last six months, then you too are eligible to apply. Forms to do so are in a folder, attached to the noticeboard at the back of the Church, alongside the current CER. Completed application forms must be returned to me, no later than 30th March – Good Friday, which would make the revision of the CER easier.
Please note – filling out a Newcomers’ Form in our Welcome Booklet, got you onto my email circulation list, but does NOT put your name on the CER. You have to apply using the correct form in the folder on the noticeboard.
