The Coronavirus has made an impact on our world in every area of life. The church will not be immune from these impacts, looking ahead our ability to meet as a congregation may be curtailed for a time on the instruction of official guidance, we shall see and respond accordingly.

How should we respond? Love the lord your God with all your heart, and love your neighbour as yourself. We should respond as Jesus would have us respond, in loving and serving others. In the church centre the Storehouse and caring ministries will continue to serve our community as best we can; as individuals we can be loving neighbours to those around us we can offer our neighbours help if they are isolated.

Obviously we do not put ourselves at unnecessary risk, but making deliveries without personal contact is one way we can practically respond. We have some cards that can be used to put through neighbours doors if you would like to use them.

We must continue to develop healthy practices to keep church attenders safe, but let us pray, and let us rise up valiantly in these days to reach out in love in our community.

Our Forget-me-not group turned 2 last week!  On the occasion of this birthday, Clare made this fantastic cake to celebrate.

The group was set up especially for people who have Alzheimer’s and their carers.  People can come to a safe, friendly space to have some tea/coffee, make friends and take part in specially created activities.  They meet up every 2nd and 4th Friday of each month at 10am until 12noon.

I  am sure that the cup of tea went down very well with that gorgeous cake.

Well done Clare and all the team and Happy 2nd Birthday.

Well done  to Geoff & Sue Wood’s Monday night Youth Life Group who raised £465 for
The Storehouse by going out collecting with the Congleton Santa Christmas Charity Collection.
