Thank You
Thank you very much to everyone who helps week by week with the running of Calry – the Wardens, those who clean the church mid-week, the flower arrangers, the technical team, the Welcome Team, those on refreshements, Marilin North for sending out these notes via MailChimp, the choir and Eunjoo, Canon Ronnie, Margaret Henry our Treasurer, Sunday School and Bell Tower leaders, Deborah Davitt for updating the FB page, Sneha Mathew for setting up slides for the service, all those who give time and money, Bible readers and everyone who prays for our fellowship.
Points for Prayer:
- schools starting again
- the sick in body, mind or spirit
- a cessation of the appalling hostilities in Gaza
- a change of heart in Russia towards the conflict with Ukraine
Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, because human anger does not produce the righteousness that God desires. Therefore, get rid of all moral filth and the evil that is so prevalent and humbly accept the word planted in you, which can save you.
James 1.19b-21
