Pantomime
A huge thank you to all those who performed in the panto last Sunday evening, and to those who helped with refreshments. It was well attended and there was laughter all around as well as an important Christian message of remembering the true meaning of Christmas. £205 was raised for our link parish in Mfuwe.

What do you think?
We are shortly to begin training to launch, initially at Walton, a healing ministry. Jesus was constantly addressing people’s needs and making them whole. We seek to follow in his footsteps and offer this ministry for our community. We will use a Diocesan approved training package to begin to equip ourselves. If you feel that this is right for you and where God is leading you, please don’t hesitate to contact me as we start early in January. Perhaps you might just want to share your thoughts or interest. If nothing else, please include this venture in your prayers, that the Holy Spirit will touch those who offer themselves for this work. David Hatrey
