Message from John - 2nd April 2020

Dear friends,
Thank you for reaching out to one another. Here is why it’s so important at this time:
‘Strong, ongoing relationships positively influence our physical, mental, and emotional health. A 2009 New York Times article attested to the importance of friendship, citing a study done at the University of Virginia. Thirty-four students were taken to the bottom of a steep hill and given a heavy backpack to wear. They were then asked to estimate the steepness of the hill. Some of the students were allowed to have friends standing next to them, while others stood alone. Those individuals with friends by their side gave lower estimates of the hill’s steepness. The hill seemed much steeper to those who faced it alone.’

We are not on our own, God is also with us, see the latest Promises video above.
You will also find it here, along with last Sundays catch up.
