Dear Church family,
This week is very special as we have Simon Oatridge preaching on Mark 4:35-41which is all about God’s people learning in a practical way how to put their faith in Jesus in the storms of life. As it is fathers day there will be an introduction of a new grandchild by John Hall. Rebecca will be reading from Psalm 107:23-32 and Leisa Sanders will also be leading us in prayers, but this will be coming out as a separate Youtube or will be shared on Zoom. Alison will end with the hymn, 'how great thou art.'
