^   PRAYER FOCUS : KENYA

Rev Dr David Clarke (Moderator) and his wife Hazel will be visiting Kenya from tomorrow Monday 9th to Monday 30th April, accompanied by Rev Uel Marrs (Overseas Secretary) from Monday 9th to Wednesday 18th April.  They will meet the leaders of our partner church, the Presbyterian Church of East Africa (PCEA) and PCI missionary personnel currently serving in Kenya.  Pray for safety, especially in travel.  (As well as their flights to and from Kenya, they have a number of internal flights during their visit and long distances to travel on often poor quality roads).  Pray that David, Hazel and Uel will be kept in good health and have plenty of energy throughout their visit, which involves a busy schedule.  Also pray that their visit will be an encouragement to the PCEA and to the PCI missionaries who they meet.

£5 adult / £2.50 child / £10 for a family  (pre-school children free).

Everyone is very welcome to what should be an enjoyable, relaxing, sociable and worthwhile meal!  There will be a retiring offering for any who cannot attend the lunch but who would like to contribute.
