Prayer and Fasting Our next day of prayer and fasting will be on Wednesday 8th December. Why not create some space to rest with God and to pray for all the opportunities to share God’s good news this Christmas. If you wish to sign up for an hour please follow this link: https://pray.24-7prayer.com/signup/7363b3 Youth Mentoring There will be a meeting about our mentoring programme on Thursday 20th January at 8pm in the church centre for those who are interested in being a mentor for one of our young people. Our programme connects a young person with an adult to be a safe, intentional relationship where a young person can be heard, understood and prayed for. It provides a safe opportunity to get to know each other, encourage them in their faith and just with anything else that life throws up. If you have any questions about our mentoring programme please speak to Jess or one of the youth team or come along to the meeting to hear more and see if it is something you could get involved in. [email protected] Operation Christmas Child – Thank you Thank you so much to all who gave or helped with Operation Christmas Child, including online shoeboxes. The Christ Church collection centre welcomed donors with 175 shoebox gifts as well as numerous hats and other gifts. We were also involved in collecting over 5,000 boxes from the local area and delivering them to the processing centre in St Neots. It was great to see box numbers up by 75% in our area compared to last year which was badly impacted by the Covid restrictions. We are hoping that the first lorries will be leaving St Neots on 11th December. The potential destination list this year is Liberia, Nigeria, Middle East, Central Asia, Belarus, Serbia, Albania, Moldova and possibly Bosnia. Many thanks for your continued support. Every box sent lets a child know that God loves them and that they are not forgotten. Sunday Services We look forward to welcoming you to our Sunday 9 am and 10.30 am services in church. You can also join us as usual every Sunday at 10.30 am on our live stream.
