Thursday 23rd April 2020

This has been quite a week for receiving sad news.

Yesterday we heard that Isabel Lang's mother and sister in law both passed away within hours of one another.  It's so tough that Isabel wasn't able to be alongside them at a time when holding a hand and just 'being there' is the most natural and precious thing in the world.  So, we send our love and prayers to Isabel at this time.

During these surreal days it's good to be cheered by both memories of the past and hopes for the future.  In that vein Michale Autton (whose work on the church monitors has been so appreciated over recent years) has used his talents to come up with a short quiz which has been placed on the website.  Why not take a coffee break and have a go at answering ten questions!

Yesterday the Church Officers met for a full hour on Zoom!  We reviewed the audio services, spoke together of the pastoral concerns before us, reviewed church finances and various property matters, and heard about some of our Administrator's work as she keeps in touch with our 'user groups' and puts the final touches to the new church directory. 

Today we are publishing the Minister's Letter for this week.  It's on the website, arriving by email, and being delievered through letter boxes!

May you, today, know God's blessing and joy in all you do.
