Pill Salvation Army
Church & Community Centre
Church Leaders: Lieutenants Nick & Shelley Ward
Welcome
to Pill Salvation Army – your Salvation Army. Whether you’re here to worship,
meet friends, share coffee or play and meet friends at our toddler group or
children’s groups, we’re pleased to welcome you!
Questioning
Jesus
As we come closer to the special
time of Easter, we continue to explore some of the questions which people
asked Jesus. Today we’re joining the Pharisees who ask Jesus, ‘By whose
authority do you do these things?’ We might also ask ourselves who or what
has authority in our lives?
Next week – Palm Sunday
Remember there’s no service here
at The Salvation Army next Sunday, as all the churches join together on the village
green in Portbury for a special Palm Sunday service. There will be a marquee
for cover, activities for children, a donkey-led procession, and favourite
Palm Sunday songs and readings. See over for details.
What
is The Salvation Army?
The
Salvation Army is a Christian Church and charity. Founded in 1865, The
Salvation Army has always had a focus on demonstrating God’s love in
practical ways.
News &
information
Open
the Book
The Churches in Pill are hoping to
set up an ‘Open the Book’ team in Pill. Open the Book is an initiative run by
Scripture Union through which a small team goes into a school to lead an
assembly and present a Bible story using drama and interaction. Crockerne
Primary School are keen for this to happen, so we are currently looking to
gather a team. There will be a training day on either Monday 16th
or Thursday 19th April from 9.30am-2.30pm (tbc).
Sponsor
Jemimah
Jemimah Douglas recently took part
in a Sponsored Swim – well done Jemimah! If you would like to support her,
she would be happy to receive any small donations which will go to charities
in Portishead.
Palm
Sunday & Easter Week
On Sunday 25th March at
10.30am we will be joining with all the churches to celebrate Palm Sunday at
St Mary’s, Portbury for an outdoor
all-age service, complete with donkey (weather permitting – alternatively we
will gather in the church). If you’re able to, please bring a fold-upchair
with you. Parking is available at St Mary’s, in the school car park, and on
the rugby field if dry enough, in addition to on street parking.
On Good Friday morning we will meet together at The Salvation Army
for a meditation at 10.00am, followed at 10.30am by a prayer journey around
the churches and the village, helping us to reflect on Jesus’ journey to the
cross. Everone will be invited to share in a short joint service on the
village green (time tbc), followed by hot cross buns at Pill Methodist
Church.
On Easter Sunday we will of course meet for worship together at The
Salvation Army. Look out for more
details of other Easter Week services
and activities.
