Dear Worshippers, Friends and Patrons of St. Clement’s,
Do join us for Easter service..
Sunday 1st April at 11.00 – Sung Eucharist for Easter
Our Gospel reading will be the account of Jesus’ resurrection from John 20. 1-18. The supporting readings will part of Peter’s sermon in the house of Cornelius, as recorded in Acts 10. 34-43, in which he speaks of the death & resurrection of Jesus & of himself & others being witnesses of the events. We shall also hear 1 Corinthians 15:1-11 where St Paul speaks about the resurrection of Christ. There will be parallel Children’s Ministry and following worship, Coffee Hour in the hall on the third floor of Klimentská 18.
Other important things…
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. I am happy to share that I have already received ten forms and we look forward to have many of you, the eligible ones, on the electoral roll.
David’s sermon from last Sunday is now available to listen to on our church website. To listen follow the link http://susanaj10.sg-host.com//25th-march-2018-palm-sunday-david-hellam/
Celebratory Prayer for birthdays and wedding anniversaries or any other such occasion is a part of our regular service. You are invited to send to me the details of your birthday or any special occasion for which you would like us to pray, by email to this address.
Looking forward to seeing many of you over these next few days as we once mark the crucifixion and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Yours in His Service,
Nathanial
