Office Closure

Family News
Please remember Helen and Alun Streeter in your prayers as Helen's father, Rev. David Clark was taken into UHW in the early hours of Tuesday morning and at around lunchtime went home to be with his Saviour and Lord. We give thanks for a life lived for Jesus, for a ministry that has touched so much people, and a man of real wit, warmth and wisdom. Please keep Helen and her family in prayer as they mourn their father and grandfather, and the wider church family who will miss a unique mentor and friend. "For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain." (PHIL 1.21).
