Church Life
Remembrance Sunday 10th November at 10.30 am
Cove – Jennie Marlow
Family Prayer
It was with great sadness we heard 4 weeks ago of the passing of Revd Arthur Rowe, who was minister at Cove in the 1980’s. It was lovely to have him join us for our 40th anniversary service and celebration back in June, as he was the minister at the time of the building of the current Church. We think of his son Martin, and all the family at this time. Revd Arthur Rowe’s funeral will take place on Friday 8 th November at 12.00 pm – Bedhampton Methodist Church, Havant. There will be a light lunch before the cremation at The Oaks Crematorium, Havant, at 2.30 pm.
We pray for all those from our Church families who are currently unwell, who have lost loved ones, who have recently had a stay in hospital, undergone operations or procedures, waiting for test results, are in residential homes, housebound.
We also pray for those who are coping with grief, illness, mental health issues and generally going through difficult times.
May God guide and bless us all in our journey of faith and understanding.
We pray for peace and that we be led by God in all things.
