From Mark

 

Hello Friends

 

Looking for your God-inspired ideas

 

Following the decision by the church to use some of our financial reserves, the intention is to gift £20,000 this year to suitable causes that engage in God’s mission and ministry.

 

With that in mind, the deacons and I want to encourage you to submit suggestions using one of the forms you can download at the buttons below. The purpose of the form is to invite proposals that are carefully thought out and which can be carefully considered.

 

The deadline for submissions to me or one of the deacons is the end of June in order for us to be able to complete the process in the Autumn. So, I want to encourage you to seek the Lord’s leading and come up with some great ways in which we can bless others from the blessings that we’ve received. Go for it.

May Charity Offering - The Leprosy Mission

 

“We are a global Christian organisation leading the fight against leprosy. Following Jesus Christ, we seek to bring about transformation; breaking the chains of leprosy and empowering people to attain healing, dignity and life in all its fullness.

 

“The Mission is recognised across the world for excellence in the fields of leprosy, neglected tropical diseases and disability. We pioneer ground-breaking surgical techniques and rehabilitation programmes that transform lives.

 

“Our work goes beyond medical care for a holistic approach that includes early detection, education, rehabilitation, water and sanitation, community reintegration, counselling and psychosocial support, research and advocacy. Together with our partners, we continue to research a diagnostic test and a vaccine for leprosy.”

Jeanette Walker

Mark will lead a committal for Jeanette Walker at Langstone Vale Crematorium on Tuesday 10th June at 12.00 Noon, followed by a service at the chapel (time to be confirmed).

June Charity Offering - The Motor Neurone Disease Association

The Motor Neurone Disease Association is a membership organisation with over 10,000 members forming a powerful national and local network that provides information and support. It has over 7,000 active volunteers in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, and around 170 paid staff, all dedicated to improving the lives of people affected by MND, now and in the future.

Personal note of thanks

Many thanks to everyone for your love and prayers and your cards on the birth of our grandchildren, Elenora Rose (Nora) on 11 May, and Albie John James on 15 May.
