• the appointment of our children and youth worker
• Isabella Mitchell who is to be baptised next Sunday, and her parents and godparents.
• those who lead our diocese – Bishop Martin, Bishop Hugh, the Archdeacons, the Dean, Andy Todd our Diocesan Secretary and the Bishop’s staff team.

Pray that we continue to see Kingdom fruit in return for our investment in prayer, mission activity and resources.

The Outreach Committee (Barbara Albert, Judy Day and Gwen Shaw, )
would welcome suggestions to put proposals to PCC on our Outreach Giving.  We normally support 4 charities by a donation of £1,000 each.  We would particularly like to know of local charities which maybe you support or have had help from. 
Consider also overseas missionaries or charities supporting the Christian ideals.
Four charities will then be put forward to PCC for consideration.
