Christmas Boxes 2008

We have just under TWO weeks left to raise the outstanding items for the 300 boxes we are aiming for. A big, big thankyou to those who have donated items already, but we still urgently need: socks for small boys and girls, combs, tennis balls, hats/gloves/mittens and small games. Help still needed - boxes still need to be wrapped so if you can help please see Jane or Mark.

Filling & Dedication of Boxes - this will take place on Sunday, 9th November at 3pm., followed by a Faith Tea and dedication of the boxes.

Changes in the Connexional Team - Methodist Church

At the start of the Methodist New Year in September, the Rev. Dr. Martyn Atkins started as the General Secretary, with three new strategic leaders: Rev. Dr. Mark Wakelin (for Internal Relationships), Ms. Christine Elliott (for External Relationships) and Mr. John Ellis (for Connexional Team Operations).  One immediate change when phoning Methodist Church House is that calls will be answered by a member of the Help Desk who will try to help you or alternatively forward your call to the appropriate member of staff.

Evangelist Billy Graham - 90th Birthday - 7th November

Billy Graham's son Franklin writes that his family would like to give his father a special gift to mark his 90th birthday.  If you or someone in your family came to know Jesus Christ through his father's ministry, please share that with him.  Send Franklin your story  -  or a simple greeting  -  by 1st November and he will put all the messages together and present them to his father on his birthday.  He hopes this will encourage his father on his special day as he sees the fruit of more than 60 years of ministry.  Millions across the globe have heard and are hearing the Gospel message through the ongoing work of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association.
