Hi everyone,
It was good to spend some time last week pondering how we trust God to bring a chink of hope into darkness. Starting with the despair a mother must have felt that her only hope was to put her baby into the River Nile in a basket we prayed for a number of people and situations which seemed particularly bleak last Sunday.
Our prayers for the people of Norway need to continue. Our giving to the East African famine appeal seems to have been generous as ever. Results will be on the notice sheet but if you took a yellow envelope away last week do use it and return it this Sunday. At the last count I was told we had reached £1,700.
This week we look at Moses and the Burning Bush. A comic once said, 'It was the greatest interview ever until Lois Lane got Superman.'
The week after (7/8) our service will be part of the Nailsea Flower show and, weather permitting, will be on the field next to Golden Valley School. If you are on a rota that day please make sure you are available or have swapped. It will be really helpful if any folk can add numbers to the set up team from 9.00 a.m. and if you could bring any portable camping or garden chairs and rugs. The service will be short, will include one or two more traditional items for the benefit of our guests and the most important part of it will be mingling with the flower show folk afterwards. We need to sell our church.
I'll be emailing duty people about this soon as much will be different to usual.
Meantime, thanks for all you do and have a good week until we meet.
