Circuit Prayer Breakfast.  At Trinity on Saturday November 2nd.  Come at 8.30am for Breakfast and share in prayer thereafter. 

Engage.  Refreshments from 6pm, worship commencing 6.30pm.  Come along for a time of blessing and to hear God’s word at our new start time.

Freya – Prayer Wall. There will be a prayer chart at the back of church, on the wall, for people to cover Freya and the family with prayer for what we consider is the most challenging part of her treatment for leukaemia. We are asking people to initial a time of day across a two week period, where they will cover that morning, afternoon, evening and night in prayer. It is not expected that people will pray continuously throughout the session but just add their prayers to our own over this time. If you feel you can help please just place your initials (or just tick) in a box, or maybe two! The treatment start date is 17th Oct with the injection that cause brain injury last time delivered on the 19th Oct. The danger of blood clots lasts 10 days.

Welcome Team.  Thanks to Tanya for energising the Welcome Team as part of the Five Practices, Extravagant Hospitality group.  However Tanya is now stepping aside to concentrate on Signing and her University course and so Sue Bradley and Carol Webb will now co-ordinate the Rota.  We are asking for you to consider prayerfully if you see Welcome as your strength?  Whether you have a bubbly outgoing personality or a quiet, calm nature there is a role for you!  We would like to get on track for the beginning of September and if you would like to take part please contact Sue or Carol.  Carol.19maxwell@ btinternet.com or sue.bradley25@btinternet.com
