1st November East Molesey Methodist Church and their Zoom Housegroup.
East Anglia District.
Andorra – tight grip of materialism. Formerly a smugglers’ refuge, it now attracts well-heeled tourists, financiers and those taking advantage of duty-free goods. Pray that empty materialism would be seen as the ultimately unfulfilling falsehood that it is. Pray for the witness of the churches.
8th November Hampton Methodist Church and Pray for all those who are experiencing health challenges. Pray that they may know the peace of Christ at these times.
Wales Synod.
Angola - the gap between the rich and poor gets wider and wider. 15 million people live in extreme poverty; rural areas are the most affected. Pray that the church will continue to be at the forefront of combatting not just poverty, but the trauma suffered during the decades of violence.
TMC needs you!! Please help if you are able to We have rotas of volunteers for lots of roles on a Sunday morning - from welcoming, serving coffee, bible reading to helping with communion, controlling the sound system, providing musical accompaniment and putting up the words on the screens. If anyone can help out, please speak to one of the stewards. We'd love for more people to be involved.
FOCUS NEWSLETTER – your contributions please. The deadline for our next newsletter is Tuesday 3rd November. Please send Helen Benson items to include such as articles, updates, details of church events (past and upcoming), news, book reviews, poems, jokes, recipes, puzzles, etc. Focus aims to help build our sense of community and to provide a window into our church for the wider community, visitors and potential new attendees, so let’s make it interesting and reflective of the warm, welcoming church that we are. The best format is a MS Word document. If sending photos, please make sure you have the person’s consent and let Helen know when you send them. Email your contributions to focus@teddingtonmethodistchurch.org.uk or speak to Helen if you do not have access to a computer. Thank you!
