For Our Prayers
On the first Monday of each month the Prayer Group meets to pray through every
prayer request on the Prayer Tree (near the Blue Madonna). The numbers continue to
rise every month, and, with the grace of God, and the dedicated members of the
Group, we are able to perform this vital service. Please join us on Monday 2nd March at
1pm.
If you have specific prayer requests for intercessions during worship please speak to
the vicar.
Church Family News & Prayers
A note from the Dean:
“Dear Friends, His Excellency The Lieutenant Governor and the Bishop of Dover have
encouraged me to take a short sabbatical to recharge the batteries. Daphne and I will
be off duty from Feb 23 until the beginning of May. It is such an encouragement that
everything is in Chris' and Carolyn's very safe hands. Yours in Christ, Bob”
Flower donations.
If you wish to make a contribution specifically for flowers please speak to any of the
church officers. The flowers this week are in memory of a loving Mum.
