Weekly News 17/11/2024

Tomorrow we're meeting at 10.30am at the chapel and and online as usual. We'll be continuing our series in Revelation, as well as worshipping and praying together.

On Sunday 24th Nov we'll be holding a short church meeting after the morning service. This shouldn't take too long, so won't include lunch. Please do join us if you can, and especially if you are a church member.

It can be frightening to hear about the suffering caused by heat waves, droughts, storms and flooding around the world, including in many of the countries that BMS works in. Yet, as we read in Job, God knows more about the state of creation than any of us.

— Give thanks for Hope Home in Thailand, a BMS-supported project helping children with additional needs. Pray for their plan to plant a community garden with fruit trees, vegetables and composting.

— Last year’s harvest appeal, Days of Plenty, introduced Ugandan farmers who struggled to cultivate their land to support their families. Please continue to pray for these farmers and for a good harvest.

— Pray for Peru-based Creation Stewardship Co-ordinator, Laura-Lee Lovering. Give thanks for the new BMS eco-stove projects benefiting communities and the dry forests they depend on in Piura.

A massive thank you to everyone who gives regularly to support the church. We only survive through your generosity, so it is much appreciated!

If you'd like to give, there is an offering bag available in the chapel each week. If you'd rather give by standing order or another regular payment, there's lots of information on the church website here.
