Dear Friends
We hope to see you as we do Lent together.
A little word (from Sara)
God is love and those who live in love live in God and God lives in them. 1 John 4.16
A very heart-felt THANK YOU for last Sunday! I’m not sure when I have ever felt so loved… you are a great lot.
I would have to go round the whole congregation to say thank you for so many different things over the last nearly four years, but particularly thankyou Pip: you have taught me so much, and Bill, for all your support. Also, all the people who worked so hard in the kitchen.
Which brings us to… there are a few people who spend a lot of time in the kitchen. It would be great to have another two or so volunteers to take on Sunday Coffee once a month: it makes such a difference to our life together.
Things to pray for
- Give thanks for every member of our Church as we each play our part.
- For all those caught in the Asylum backlogs.
- For free and fair elections, especially in Nigeria.
