-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------CHRISTMAS at CAPESTHORNE
New giving leaflet available now.
We have provisionally booked a coach to
visit Capesthorne Hall on Saturday 29
November to enjoy the Hall decorated
for the festive season. The coach will
leave church at 1pm prompt and return
from the Hall at 4pm.
This gives time to enjoy the decorations,
the craft fair and maybe afternoon tea.
The cost of the coach and entry to Hall is
£15.50p.
Do join us, cheques payable Christ
Church Woodford.
In the first 9 months of 2014 our
expenditure has increased, but I`m
delighted to say our Giving has increased
at a higher rate giving us a reduced
shortfall.
Thank you all for your valuable support
of Christ Church Woodford.
Many thanks
Brenda & Arnold

Into the Light: October 2014 - thanks for praying
'The people walking in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of
deep darkness a light has dawned.' - Isaiah 9:2
We're so thankful for the thousands of people who pray for MAF and the people we
serve. Thank you all so much!
We hoped you like our theme of 'Into the Light', which gives us the opportunity to tell
you more about the ministry side of MAF’s work. We continue to thank God for the
privilege of being able to take His Word to the ends of the earth and your prayers play a
crucial role in enabling us to do that.

Today is MAF Day of Prayer and envelopes are available in the pews for
today only. Please use one if you like to make a donation to their work.
