Covid – 19 The wearing of face coverings in the Fordham & Eight Ash Green Church buildings and John Owen Barn is now voluntary. We have designated a section of seating in the church as ‘facemasks mandatory’ for those who would appreciate this. Please: ·  Do not enter the church buildings or John Owen Barn if you have recently started displaying symptoms of Covid-19.

• Consider when it is best to wear a face covering for the protection of others and for yourself.
• Continue to wash your hands or to use hand sanitiser when you enter the buildings

 

John 1:1-13 

1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
1:2 He was with God in the beginning.
1:3 Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.
1:4 In him was life, and that life was the light of men.
1:5 The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it.

1:6 There came a man who was sent from God; his name was John.
1:7 He came as a witness to testify concerning that light, so that through him all men might believe.
1:8 He himself was not the light; he came only as a witness to the light.
1:9 The true light that gives light to every man was coming into the world.
1:10 He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him.

1:11 He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him.
1:12 Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God--
1:13 children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband's will, but born of God.

John 12:44-50

12:44 Then Jesus cried out, "When a man believes in me, he does not believe in me only, but in the one who sent me.
12:45 When he looks at me, he sees the one who sent me.

12:46 I have come into the world as a light, so that no one who believes in me should stay in darkness.
12:47 "As for the person who hears my words but does not keep them, I do not judge him. For I did not come to judge the world, but to save it.
12:48 There is a judge for the one who rejects me and does not accept my words; that very word which I spoke will condemn him at the last day.
12:49 For I did not speak of my own accord, but the Father who sent me commanded me what to say and how to say it.
12:50 I know that his command leads to eternal life. So whatever I say is just what the Father has told me to say."
