We meet this Sunday morning at 11am when the theme of our service will be 'Partners in Mission'. Two of our own members Ricky and Marlene Ferguson will be sharing with us about their work with Wycliffe Bible Translators. We are really looking forward to this opportunity, not simply to hear from Ricky and Marlene, but also to have our vision enlarged as we hear of Bible translation work around the world. Praise Group will be leading and there will also be a supervised creche / children's provision / teenage Bible Class.
