We will remember in our prayers our Pastoral Visitor, Rev Dr Bill Davison, his wife Elsie and their family.

… PRAYER FOCUS: INDONESIA

It is now estimated that the earthquake in Java on 27^th May over 6000 people lost their lives and 30,000 were injured. As the result of structural damage to buildings, over 200,000 people in the city of Yogyakarta and villages in the surrounding area are now homeless. After medical care for the injured, the greatest needs are the provision of clean water supplies, good sanitation and adequate shelter for the homeless. Pray that all those who need assistance will get it quickly. Also please pray for our own Nicole Williams who is travelling to Indonesia to work with children on 15^th June, returning home on 7^th July.
