Life Groups - We meet in small groups at various times through the week to help us to grow and to learn about God. Please speak to Clive to find out more or to explore which group might best suit you.

Cathedral Praise - Coventry Cathedral are keen to develop a partnership with us as a neighbouring church. We are all invited to join with them every Sunday evening at 6.30pm for Cathedral Praise. This is especially useful if you were busy serving during the morning service here.

Our Coventry Foodbank box is at the back of church and its contents are taken each week to the Hope Centre in Hillfields. New Shopping Lists are available to help you remember what they need. We've been doing a good job. Thank you.

Please pray for:- 
• the peace of the whole world, for the welfare of the Holy Church of God, and for the unity of all.
• We pray for Bishop Christopher who is on duty at the House of Lords this week and for Bishop John who will be attending the annual meeting of the College of Bishops.
• The Global economies at this difficult time
• all those using our building
• God's blessing upon the church members and the local community
• wisdom as we make daily decisions about transport and ask for help in finding new ways and new disciplines to improve the impact we make on the environment.
• Saturday is the International Day of Peace - an annual event aiming to foster personal and political ceasefires, bringing everyone together in a commitment to peace. We pray for people and places affected by conflict and we ask for God's help as we seek to be peacemakers in this world.
