The FirstServers have now finished the 2nd part of their programme and did a brilliant job at their UK churches. Please continue to pray for them as they prepare to go overseas and see what other adventures God has in store for them! Anna & Hazel will be travelling to different areas in Zambia and Abi will be flying all the way to Peru!

FirstServe is a unique discipleship and missions programme, primarily for 18-25 year-olds on a gap year, or those with a shorter time available.

Christmas Shout It Out! PowerPoint Quiz

Hawthorn Court is a purpose built nursing home accommodating up to 80 older persons, including people with dementia. The ministers in the Fareham Western Wards take it in turn to visit the home and lead a monthly service. It was a real privilege this morning to go into the home and share a Christian service with some of the residents.

This morning about sixteen residents gathered in the lounge for a short get together. They enjoyed and participated in a hymn, some prayers and listened to two solos sung by my wife Penny before hearing a short gospel talk.
For those residents suffering with sever dementia it is hard to know how much they take in, but we trust and pray they find some comfort and encouragement in the things of God.

Praise God for 75 parents & toddlers squeezed into Duncan Road Church on Thursday for ‘Noah’s Ark’ Career & Toddler Group. I am told there were arms & legs everywhere and amid the chaos everyone seemed to have a very good time!

It was really encouraging that some of the mums came along to Penny’s recent Ladies Christmas Craft Evening. As well as on a Thursday morning, we hope to see them again at our ‘Carols by Candlelight’ Christmas Service.

“We must be global Christians with a global vision because our God is a global God.”
