Church family prayers: We are reviewing the prayer list for members of the Church community and so for the next few weeks we won’t be listing names on Pews News. If you would like to be prayed for by name on the Pew News in the future please give your name and those in your household (under 16) to Trudi, who will be compiling a new list. If you have young people over the age of 16 in your household, who would like to be included, please encourage them to make contact separately, we can only add them if they give their own permission.
