Dear Church family and friends,
Asking others for help can be difficult based on a number of differing factors: how the person asking feels about presenting their problem to another; what the issue is at all; and whether the person seeking assistance knows the person they are to get into contact with. For some it might come very easily, for others it may require an enormous amount of courage. There is of course another group of people who insist that they do not ever need the help from anyone. They are independent and can manage on their own, thank you very much. What all these people have in common, though, is the use of prayer. Even a non-believer might become so desperate that they, earnestly or not, turn to God with a fleeting “help me!”. Psalm 121 shows us what God does when He is called upon, no matter how you feel about expressing your need for help: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zBnFXxj7twk

Barbecue reminder…
There is now a sign-up list for all those planning on sticking around after the service on 21st June for our barbecue! The Church will be providing sausages, and the rest of the congregation is asked to bring sides, salads and desserts. Even if you have not decided what you will bring we would be grateful if you could write your name on the list telling us you will attend, so that we may buy an appropriate amount of sausages – you can either wait until Sunday, or use the e-mail address given above.
Have a blessed week!
