Welcome to Providence

 

It is with sadness that Providence will be closing its doors on November 3rd due to reasons beyond our control. See a copy of the wording below of a letter sent to our friends around the country.

We will be carrying on as most of us wanted to stay together. November 10th we start afresh as 'Lighthouse Christian Community' over at 'The Laurels' social club at 10.20am.

Copy of letter:

It is with a measure of sadness I write to let you know that due to our circuit needing to reduce the number of churches it supports, reduced numbers and ever increasing fuel and maintenance costs, Providence will hold its closing services on  November 3rd 2024. Our morning service will be at 10:20am, led by lay pastor Martyn Filsak, and we are also having an afternoon service at 3:30pm, led by Superintendent Minister Rev Alan Combes. We understand that not everyone will be able to attend both services, but having a second service later in the day allows those who have other morning commitments to attend and helps any who live at a distance to join with us. As you have had a relationship with Providence, we warmly invite you to join us at one or both of our services on November 3rd. You will help make our final day of worship in the church special. We understand travelling distances in November has its problems so you may wish an alternative.  “Send your thoughts to me I will read them out at the 3:30 Service.” For seating, if you would like to accept this invitation, could you  please drop me an acceptance.
