“Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace
among those with whom he is pleased!” (Luke 2:14)
“Peace I leave with you;
my peace I give to you.” (John 14:27)
The angels announced peace on that first Christmas morn, and to this day, people yearn for peace – world peace, personal peace. One day perhaps soon, Jesus will return and bring world peace, but while we wait, Jesus promised that we can enjoy his personal peace. Our prayer is for that peace to be yours. “Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times in every way. The Lord be with you all.” (2 Thess 3:16).
Praise
- God answered your prayers for the Nov 10 consultation beset with planning difficulties. The day went very well and produced many useful insights for future special conferences.
- The foodbank ministry received record donations of groceries and money in December, preparing us well for the increasing numbers of people drawing on the foodbank’s services during this time of economic difficulty in the UK.
Prayer
- The crisis regarding the future of the foodbank ministry we mentioned in the last update continues. Please pray for God’s best for its future.
- Continue to pray for our efforts to obtain a former leisure centre as a new church and community centre. It would be ideally located with room to grow.
Thank you for your prayers and support,
George and Karen
