PLEASE PRAY for the people of the community as we approach the Christmas period. That they will feel a yearning to go to church, to sing, to hear the good news of the One who came as a baby, born in a stable, to offer His life as a sacrifice.

READ THE GOOD NEWS – John 18.33-37
‘Jesus answered, “You say that I am a king. In fact, the reason I was born and came into the world is to testify to the truth. Everyone on the side of truth listens to me.”
