LAKE RUKWA

As we were reminded on Sunday, Barry is going to Lake Rukwa this week. Please pray for him and the Diocese he is going to visit and also give thanks for the generosity of everyone who contributed by giving: soap, money and of course the beautiful chalice set.

REQUEST FROM THE TECH TEAM

We are looking to make our computer operator’s job a little easier on a Sunday morning by installing a second monitor on their desk. If anyone has a spare computer monitor they would like to donate to the church, that would be fantastic. We don’t need a large monitor, but it does need an HDMI input. Thanks!

BECOME A YOUTH LEADER FOR ST JOHN AMBULANCE!
