Day of Prayer for our Nation
This coming Wednesday (2nd October)
In the context of on-going debates in Parliament and the ongoing negotiations with the EU, there are big challenges facing our elected representatives in government. We feel that as Christians we need to lift our nation to the Lord in prayer at this crucial time.
We are therefore holding a Day of Prayer in the Prayer room at the Church Centre between 7.00am-7.30pm - which will then flow into our Monthly Prayer Meeting until 9.00pm.
Please drop in at any time during the day for however long you can or would like to stay.
This coming Wednesday 2nd October 10.30-12.00 - We are starting up a Memory Café at St. James’ Church Centre.
If you know of anyone who could benefit from this please do bring them along. If you have any questions, speak to Bridget Wilks or Dorothy Haworth.

Blue tokens for TIC+
You can now use your blue Tesco tokens which you are given at the check-out each time you shop to support TIC+ through October, November and December. This is all part of the ‘Tesco Bags of Help scheme’. TIC+ have been selected to be in the customer vote which means they could be awarded up to £25,000. Voting is open in all Tesco stores. This would be amazing and would really help them in their vision of giving every young person in need someone to talk to.
