Scripture verse for the week (try to memorise it!) Living the new life: Prayer “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.

On the weekend of 21st - 23rd November, a team of approximately 12 people are heading to the Dublin Christian Mission to assist with activities taking place, including making and serving meals and providing clothing at the Lighthouse Centre for the homeless. This is the first time we’ve taken a team down, and it’s hoped that after this exploratory team there may be further opportunities in the future. We would like to appeal to the congregation for clothing. The items required are men’s clothing appropriate for the homeless including jeans, trousers, sweat pants, jumpers, hoodies, coats, casual shoes, runners, socks, underwear. At this point they are completely out of men’s jeans, hoodies and shoes. There is now also a need for women’s clothing. With the winter month’s approaching, sleeping bags, blankets, backpacks and carrying bags are also needed. If you can assist, please speak with Wesley Cummings or Roy Hampton. Items can be brought to church and given to Wesley or Roy or we may be able to collect them if required.
