Pakistan relief  £354.20 was collected at

St. Andrew’s  and sent via Christian Aid

        Pakistan, Russia and now Niger are having problems. People have been very generous in their response and as we hear of more needs, instead of giving after the crisis is made known, why not make a regular donation each month?  Tear Fund and Christian Aid are agencies who can meet ongoing needs and crises. You will find leaflets at the back of the church.

 Would you please pray for Wordwise...And keep them in your daily prayers -The computer is no longer able to cope with their requirements.  One of the trustees, Rev. Tim Skillman, who looks after the computers, has found a replacement which will cost £110. 

Would anyone like to make a donation towards this?
