Notices Week of 3 February 2022
We hope you are well. Here are this week’s notices.
Recent Happenings
Many of you know we have a very active Open the Book team working in Ripon. The above is a still shot from the latest Puppet Show version of the story of: Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego that was sent to the schools in and around Ripon. Please keep praying for this brilliant ministry.
And, we’ve left this item in at the top from last week because, although it is not until the end of March, of course, the organisers need to get some bookings in early! This is a brilliant weekend.
See Barry for details or go directly to the web site for details: Men of the Dales
