OUTLOOK
When I last wrote about our church community we were looking forward to the warmer weather as spring did not seem to promise much, now we are experiencing too much warmth and are trying to keep cool in what can be challenging temperatures. It also appears, if the pundits are correct, that really hot summers are to be the norm.
I know a lot of us have struggled in the heat and find doing just everyday things very difficult, but I am aware that we all have been looking out for each other and despite the difficulties have been meeting with friends at open church and on Sundays when we have been able to check with our 'buddies' that we are ok.
Good news about our church family:
Congratulations to Matthew and Rebeca Maguire who got married earlier in the month.
We continue to pray for:
Sheila Hallas, who is now home and is able to join us at Open Church and on Sundays. The good news is her tumour is now smaller and she thanks everyone for their prayers and please continue to pray for her and Sam and all the family.
We also pray for Lilian Dixon whose is recovering from a cataract operation.
We give thanks that:
Anne Moody, who has finally got to the end of her treatment and Janette Westell, whose tests have all come back OK.
We remember other friends who are adjusting to health changes and challenges, especially Mary and Michael Taylor who are finding life quite difficult at the moment.
We remember too, the friends and family of Margaret Baker who died recently; she was a Girls Brigade officer and moved to Lincoln about 20 years ago.
On the 25th August we will remember the life of Mary Brown, in a thanksgiving service lead by Jane. The service is at 15:00.
Can I wish all those who have a birthday in August or September a enjoyable day.
Heavenly Father, life is not always easy for some of us, we have problems that seem difficult to resolve, especially if we live by ourselves. So loving God give us the strength to cope when things go awry and that we may know your loving care.
