This week we held the fourth session of the Alpha course, entitled “How Can I Have Faith?", and we would like to ask the Church to continue to pray for this venture.
Would you pray:
1.  That the guests have learnt how valuable they are to God, and that the power of sin has been broken.
2.  For health protection for the group.
3.  That 
next week the guests on the Alpha course start to develop a relationship with God through prayer.
If you would like any more information about the Alpha Course, please contact Nick or Stuart.
We would like to extend an invitation to you all to join us at our quarterly WT Breakfast, where you can enjoy a time of fellowship and encouragement. This month, we have some of the LCCS men coming to serve us by cooking up a delicious English Breakfast (continental breakfast is also available upon request). The event will take place during an extended morning session, consisting of worship, teaching, and ministry time.
