Dear Friends

CHURCH ON THE MOVE

After all the waiting and meetings, things are really starting to happen. Cupboards are being cleared, boxes filled and rubbish removed, all in preparation for reorganisation and moving into the Queen's Hall block, while we continue to search for a new, more permanent home for this church in the city centre. The property group are busy working with estate agents and are viewing any premises that look hopeful. It is quite obvious that some compromise will be needed and we hope that the worshipping community will pull together to support each other through the difficulties.

One casualty is the Friday Coffee Morning which is being suspended indefinitely, certainly while we are in the Queen's Hall. The last one is on FRIDAY 17th FEBRUARY. We would like to thank all of our faithful customers for their support. The Coffee Bar is open for business as usual.

Thank you to everybody. Your prayers and support are really needed

Notices

Real Aid are asking for donations of soft knitted toys to put into gift packs. I have lots of patterns and needles but you would have to buy the wool (odd balls can often be picked up cheaply in charity shops)! The toys are not needed until Christmas so there is plenty of time to knit them! If you are interested please have a word with me, thank you – Tina

Bible Society

It is time for the annual collection for the Bible Society.

Audrey would be pleased to receive any contributions, small or large, which will all go towards providing bibles for countless people who do not have one.

Thank you all very much.
