Chris we have decided to restart on the 21st October. We will in effect have had a 3 session break as the last two didn’t happen as there were only three of us on each occasion. So the plan is to have a break from Acts for now and restart with either a different book of the Bible or a Biblical topic and this is where we would like your suggestions, if there is something you would like us to study then please let me know in time to make a decision and prepare for it. I look forward to hearing what you suggest.Prayer updates: Thank you for your response to our appeals for prayer. Agnes Crompton-Roberts is improving but still receiving close treatment with the eye surgeon at Avranches: a decision about an operation is due shortly. Wendy Woodley is making slow but steady progress. Please remember Francois and Peter as well - anxious times for both of them!Next Week: For one week only, Friday Focus will be replaced by Saturday Supplement!Please pray for our Chaplaincy every day: Lord Jesus Christ, thank you for calling us to be a Church under the banner of your Name: may we look to you today and find clear vision for tomorrow.
