**********************************************
Lent Lunches: The United Reformed Church is hosting this Friday’s lunch. For many years the Churches Together in Fleetwood have hosted a simple lunch of soup and a roll on each of the Fridays in Lent. It’s an opportunity to meet with other Christians and to invite your neighbours along too for fellowship and a bite of lunch. There is no cost, although we are encouraged to make a donation towards this year’s chosen charity, International Aid. Please do make a determined effort to come to as many of these lunches as you are able. Much preparation is involved for the hosting church!
World Day of Prayer: One of the WDP Guiding Principles states that ‘Prayer is rooted in listening to God and to one another. On the first Friday in March through WDP there has always been an emphasis on listening to women sharing their hopes and fears, their joys and sorrows, their opportunities and needs. This year the theme of the worship service “I Have Heard About Your Faith,” is based on the letter to the Ephesians, and is an invitation to active listening, which is the ground of all our prayers. Following the example of the letter (1:15-19), where the author praises the church for their faith in Jesus and love toward all the saints, the worship services, which will take place all over the world on Friday, contextualize the witness of the saints with the stories from the women of Taiwan. Why not come along and be part of this wave of prayer? It’s at the URC on Friday after the Lent Lunch.
May God give us the wisdom and courage to tell the stories of faith that transform lives.
Please also remember in your prayers – Dorothy Angel, Rev Jane Everitt, Rev Martin Keighley, Elizabeth King, Chris Kelsall, Michaela Jones, Janice Porter, Mark Price & Lucy Adamson. And the families of, Eleanor Riseborough, Emily Lowe, Josie Gibson & Rene Pilling, Stan Kirkham & Ray Merrison whose funerals are due to take place.
