Wednesday 22 September 2021 Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, This Sunday, 26th September, we are delighted to welcome the family and friends of Leonel Chandra, who will be baptised during the service. Please do keep Leonel and his parents, Elsie and Roberto, in your prayers. If you are unable to be in church with us you can follow the service online at: Service Resources at St Ursula's Church, Berne. We are all very thankful to Hector, Martin and Art for making this possible. Without checking COVID certificates, we cannot admit more than 50 to church, and we are now fully booked for this Sunday. As it is likely that more than 50 will wish to attend services on coming Sundays, we are looking into the practicalities of checking COVID certificates from the following Sunday, 3 October. I will give you more details in due course. Creation Season Challenge
We will collect the money at our Harvest Festival and Pledge Service, 3rd October. Hopefully, if we all join in, we will raise a good amount of money for Tearfund. Here is the challenge. Please do join us! For those of you who missed the recent talk on climate change by Dominic Roser, the handout is here. Other activities in Bern in coming weeks encourage us to care for our environment and not to waste resources. You may be interested in the Foodsave Banquet and the Trash Heroes day.

Harvest and Pledge Sunday, 3rd October
Prayers As we remember Leonel Chandra, to be baptised this Sunday, and Joanna Babatunde, to be baptised the following Sunday, let us pray for them and their families and also pray that we will be faithful to our own baptism. Faithful and loving God,
God of grace and life,
With love in Christ,
