Remember in prayer St Marys PCC meeting to be held on 20th January, that the Holy Spirit will guide any decisions made. Also, pray for the Reflect Women’s Breakfast to be held at Christ Church on Saturday 24th January, that it will be a time of encouragement and fellowship as one of our local church members shares how her Christian faith has shaped her life.
