Remembering Church Family Events Thank you to Ann Lee for 22 years of sending cards on behalf of the church to members celebrating special birthdays and anniversaries. This role has now been taken over by Mary Smith. We already have some dates for those who are part of Pastoral Link and chose to give details to Link leaders, but there will now be forms in church, so that everyone on our Family Roll, who wishes to be included, can let us have their dates. We also like to send a card and message to church members who are ill, in hospital, or have lost a very close relative. We can only do this if we know about it, so it would be very helpful if you, or someone in your family, could let Andy or Mary know(Andy: 834210 / Mary: 834717) .
Alternatively you can fill in an online form HERE and send it by email.
You can help inspire & encourage others by letting them know what struck you in a service, sermon or event. We’d love to hear from you for our monthly magazine to help inspire and encourage others. Contact news@stdavidschurchbroom leys.org.uk or leave items in the porch box.
