“TO KNOW JESUS CHRIST AND TO MAKE HIM KNOWN”

FELLOWSHIP NEWS

A number of people are struggling with a variety of issues at the moment. In particular please remember Margaret who broke her leg in the snow. Her leg is still not healing and she will be off work for at least another six weeks. Joan C has been taken into hospital and it is not clear yet just what is wrong. Dave continues to be OK in Zambia. He has been doing a lot of driving of the 4x4 vehicle they use. He will shortly be going on the first expedition to some of the more remote villages so please pray for safety in driving. Thank you for your continued prayers and practical support for each other. Give thanks for the recent growth in numbers attending the Ladies Fellowship. Over the past two weeks four new ladies have joined the fellowship.

LINDA & HAROLD RUSHBROOK

Linda has had a pain free time last week, much to Harold’s relief as he had to travel back to Romania. She is however sleeping a great deal. Harold was able to do all he needed in Romania and is now back with Linda in the UK. They are so grateful for your continued prayers and other support.

BEETLE DRIVE AND FISH & CHIP SUPPER

Some 35 folk enjoyed a great time last night. Congratulations to Janette who came out victorious completing “beetle” in the final round.

WHO LET THE DADS OUT!

Next Saturday morning, in the church hall, we will be running a “Dads & Toddlers”, complete with bacon sandwiches, from 10am to mid day. It is open to any carers of young children, preferably the dads and granddads, who want a place to bring come with the children while Mum is able to have a bit of time to herself in recognition of Mothers’ Day.

CHURCH MEMBERS AGM & DEACONS ELECTION

The next members’ meeting is on Wednesday 24 March. The agenda will be posted on the church notice board by Sunday 21 March.

HOLIDAY CLUB – GOD THE BUILDER

Plans are now well advanced. Thank you for all the help in providing materials for the holiday club. We are still in urgent need of a good number of shoe boxes if you are able to help. If you can help with resource preparation – Saturday 3 April in the church lounge from 10.00am to mid day please let Ali know. Invitations went out on Tuesday to the Kingsquad and the following day to the Pilgrim School. The first booking was returned within a matter of minutes! Praise God. Please pray that there will continue to be a great response. Places will be limited to the first 50 so if you know of a child who wants to come in school year 2 to 7 make sure they get their application back promptly.
