On January 8th we had 30 people in our Church for a United Covenant Service, with St. Mary’s and St. Oswald’s, led by Reverend Crawford Logan and Reverend Paul Frostick. A very special event which was filled with praise, happiness and thankfulness. We pray that this service ‘sets our scene’ for our continued mission and outreach in the year ahead.
Two new families have started to join us for Sunday worship, and Crawford is welcoming a new member in January, this is so encouraging.
The Community café and book exchange continue to be increasingly popular – so do come along if you haven’t yet visited us.
We look forward to all of the above events in February including Café Worship and a Messy Church. All great fun – we had 36 present at our last Messy Church in November so that was a great success and another Messy Church is planned for January 25th when our theme is ‘New beginnings’.
It is with great sadness that we received the news that Bill Gray passed away on the 28th December. He spent a happy Christmas with his two sons and families and was then suddenly taken ill. Our thoughts and love extend to Tim and John and their respective families. Bill will be greatly missed by many people including all of us at Ninfield and in our Circuit. (a full tribute will be written for Spotlight).
A Very Happy New Year to you all ….. we look forward to the sunshine!
