Thank you to all who have gifted flowers
during the year and thank you to the
talented ladies who arrange them so
beautifully to adorn our for the Sunday
Services.
These floral gifs are very much appreciated
by those members of our church family who are
unable to join us in fellowship.
Should you wish to donate flowers for a Sunday in
2014 please add your name to the list which will be
available on the Vestibule Table from
Sunday 17th November
Thank – you

At the end of "Back to School with God" Sunday service , the children in our
Congregation were given the opportunity to write their names on a slip of paper
and ask someone in the congregation, other than their parent or relative, to take
it and to remember to pray for them day by day.
Here is a prayer written by an American schoolgirl from Winniepeg which
high-lights how aggressive secular education can become and why we need
to pray for our young people……..
Now I sit me down in school where praying is against the rule
For this great nation under God finds mention of Him very odd
If scripture now the class recites, it violates the Bill of Rights.
And anytime my head I bow becomes a Federal matter now.
Our hair can be purple, orange or green, that's no offense;
it's a freedom scene.
The law is specific, the law is precise, prayers spoken aloud
are a serious vice.
For praying in a public hall, might offend someone with no faith at all.
In silence alone we must meditate, God's name is prohibited by the Province.
We're allowed to cuss and dress like freaks, and pierce our noses, tongues and cheeks.
They've outlawed guns, but FIRST the Bible, to quote the Good Book makes me liable.
We can elect a pregnant Senior Queen, and the 'unwed daddy,' our Senior King.
It's 'inappropriate' to teach right from wrong we're taught that such 'judgements'
do not belong.
We can get our condoms and birth controls, study witchcraft, vampires and totem poles
But the Ten Commandments are not allowed, no word of God must reach this crowd.
It's scary here I must confess, when chaos reigns the school's a mess.
So, Lord, this silent plea I make: Should I be shot; my soul please take!
Amen

Ann Allen
