Remembrance Sunday Morning 10th November 2019 Talk Part 2
Remembrance Sunday Morning 10th November 2019 – Tim Smith Remembrance Talk Pt 1 2019 Remembrance Talk Pt 2 2019
The talks at today’s Service of Remembrance were in two parts. The first looking at our neighbours who died as civilians on our local streets during the Plymouth Blitz, all of whom are named on our WWII War Memorial. (It will definitely help if you can open the Handout at the same time as listening to the talk) The second part talk used both of the very short passages below (and in the image above) to reflect on civilian casualties in war and the increasing loss of innocent lives as our conflicts have changed over the last few decades. The short pause in the middle of the second talk is when the middle slide was showing multiple areas of the world where conflict has happened. If you also open the talk notes from that part while listening, it will probably also help a little.

Sunday Morning 21st July 2019 - Summary by Tim Smith
Every now and then, St Jude’s likes to encourage folk to share what God may have placed on their hearts. Most often it is at the end of a service and we regularly give space to one or two folk to share something from that service or week. But we also like to create our ‘Church Choices’ Sundays when up to six folk can share something they have prepared beforehand. It might be a reflection on life and its difficulties alongside their faith, it may be a particular part of scripture that has engaged them – or maybe just where God seems to have intervened in life and inspired them. The five short talks above are just that – with a short summary at the end from Tim, the Vicar.

Sunday Morning 10th March 2019 – Tim Smith – Talk Slides: Church_for_the_Lost
This morning was a special service that included information on how to join the Church’s Membership and on giving for the work of the Church – but the sermon after the Bible reading does extend into why the Church exists. It ends with a call for re-affirmation of our belief with thanks – and for any who have not yet taken the step of following Jesus – an opportunity to do so.
Therefore please do feel free to hear the first part of the talk that is about membership, in the middle is the reading and the second part is the sermon proper, that starts at the 9 mins 45 secs point into the recording on “What Is Church For?” We hope, like all our other talks on line, that you find it helpful. The form being referred to can be seen here: Membership_Form_2019
