Prayer Update from Kindu, DRC
Archbishop Masimango is involved today in the inauguration of the new Diocese of Kalemie from the Diocese of Kindu. This is necessary because of the growth of the church in this area. His lengthy pastoral visitation tour in Kindu has yet to take place.
All Saints’ Little Shelford
We have a special connection with the Parish church of All Saints’ in the village of Little Shelford just outside Cambridge in England. Some of the Bambers were there on Sunday 22 June, when who should arrive but Charles & Breda, with their son Ryan and his daughter Erica! Today we are delighted to have Bob and Helen White with us for a little visit.
Calry Roof Repairs
You may notice that the north side of the church (facing the Mall) has scaffolding up. This is to allow the roof repairs on the parapet to take place.
