Dear Worshippers and Friends of St. Clement’s
Do join us for worship this coming Sunday..
Sunday 8th December at 11.00 hrs.– Sung Eucharist for the Second Sunday of Advent
Matthew 3. 1-12 is our Gospel reading which is about John the Baptist who prepare the way for Jesus’ ministry.The supporting readings are Isaiah 11. 1-10 which is about the reign of Jesse’s offspring and Romans 15. 4-13 in which Paul mentions the hope from the promises that we find in scriptures and the joy and peace it brings.
The Hymns are:-On Jordan’s bank Winchester New, Hark, the glad sound Bristol and The Kingdom of God Hanover (551) and Hills of the north, rejoice Little Cornard
There will be parallel Children’s Ministry and after the worship, there will be Coffee Hour in the hall on the third floor of Klimentska 18.
After our worship service in Prague, we hold our monthly worship service in Brno..
Sunday 8th December at 17.00 hrs. in Brno – Holy Communion with Hymns for the Second Sunday of Advent
While we usually hold our monthly worship service in Brno on the first Sunday of the month, we decided to hold it on the second Sunday this month as the Brno Christians United Carols was planned for last Sunday.
Like last two years, I will be joined by some of our Prague congregation members who responded to my message to join me for our worship service there. If you have friends or family in Brno please invite them to our worship service there. The worship will be followed by seasonal refreshments. For more information follow the link http://susanaj10.sg-host.com//brno/.
Make every effort to join us on Tuesday..
Tuesday 10th December from 18.00 hrs. to 20.00 hrs – Bible Study in the hall on the first floor of Klimentska 18
This will be our last Bible Study for this series. This time it will be on Jesus Christ and will be led by David Hellam. Even if you have not been a part of the Bible Study till now you are welcome to join us this coming Tuesday. A simple meal will be made available making it easier for those of you who come directly from work to participate without worrying about a meal when you get back home. I would be grateful if you could drop a line and mention any dietary restriction(s), making it easier for me to arrange. However, do not hesitate to join if you decide at the last moment. If the ground floor door of Klimentská 18 is locked, press the bell marked Sborový Kancelář & you will be buzzed in!
Then on Friday..
Friday 13th December at 18.00 hrs. – Charity Carols
Come sing along to traditional Christmas carols with the choir who have kindly organized carols with us for many years to support charity work. Most of the carols will be in English with a few favourites in Czech and German. There will be seasonal refreshments afterwards at the back of the church. It is recommended that you dress warmly.
