We’re especially pleased to welcome Ross Healy, the TFM Mission Co-ordinator, who will be joining us for our Sunday service on 13th July. During the service, I’ll be interviewing Ross to hear his thoughts and perspective on the on the mission ahead.

We need your help; would you be able to host a team member? This would involve housing them from Saturday 6th until Sunday 14th. We would like the hosts to provide a breakfast for their team member (just something simple). We would also like the hosts to feed their team member on Saturday 6th so they are able to get settled in. Speak to Julie Wilman or Peter Plummer
Could you provide a meal for members of the team? This could be in the form of an evening which might be an opportunity to invite others to, or just a number of the team with you. (details and numbers to be confirmed) Speak to Peter Plummer
Would you like to join in with the door to door visiting and to go out with an experienced person?
Is there an activity above that you would like to be involved with? Please get in touch with the contact person.
Do you have connections in the parish that could provide an opportunity for outreach? Please let me know and we can assess what help the visiting team could give.
Most importantly we need to keep praying for what God will do during this week and we need to keep covering our parish with prayer for there to be a breakthrough of His kingdom here.
