PLEASE PRAY for everyone in #Meltham and the wider world as they prepare for Christmas – that they will feel the hope and excitement of the season beyond the hype and pressure for materialism.

READ THE GOOD NEWS – Matthew 11: 2-11 – Jesus answered, “Go tell John what you have heard and seen: The blind can see. The crippled can walk. People with leprosy are healed. The deaf can hear. The dead are brought back to life. And the Good News is being told to the poor. Great blessings belong to those who don’t have a problem accepting me.”
