Message from the Lancasters!
“Greetings from Tanzania! We arrived safely in Dar last Sunday night after a long day in the air – this time, with all of our luggage!! We then travelled on to Morogoro on the Monday and arrived in a downpour – albeit a very warm downpour! We found our house in good order – but had to spend two days car-cleaning due to a thick layer of fungus & mould growing on the seats! Oh the joys! It’s been great to have been back with the church family over the last seven months, and we’ve appreciated your hospitality and support – many thanks, and see you in two years”.
Scratch Choir
Calling anyone who would like to get together to form a choir and learn one song to sing at the Christmas carol service on Sunday 15th December. We would only have one rehearsal on the day at 2.30pm. All welcome – please see/email Sara Taylor for any more info and to sign up.
Christmas Cards for the Persecuted Church
Christmas Cards for persecuted believers are available on the table at the back with relevant information. Please take a card and sign it with a verse of encouragement and prayer; once signed, please place back in Open Doors’ envelope in the tray. Thank you.
“Remember those in prison as if you were their fellow prisoner.” Heb. 13:3.
Sponsored Compassion Child – Monthly Rate Increase.
With effect from April 2020 the monthly rate to sponsor a child will increase from £25 to £28pm. If you already sponsor a child, you will receive a letter to inform you of the changes. If the increase will cause any financial difficulties for you, there is the option of continuing to sponsor your child at £25 and Compassion will make up the difference. Please speak to Wendy Rowe (Mission Ministry Leader) if you would like to discuss this matter further. Thank you.
