> PRAYER FOCUS FOR THE WEEK
We will remember
in our prayers the leaders and members in our Fellowship Groups.
> PRAYER FOCUS: MALAWI
Livingstonia is situated on a plateau with beautiful views
overlooking Lake Malawi. However, access to Livingstonia
is very difficult, especially in the wet season. The most reliable route to the Mission
Station is the rocky Gorodi Road – 10 miles and 20
hairpin bends from the lake shore to the plateau at an altitude of 5,000 feet. From 21st to 23rd
October, the Synod of Livingstonia, CCAP is
celebrating the centenary of the construction of this road and the State
President is expected to attend. It is
an opportunity to get a lot of necessary work done to the road but also for the
joyful coming together of many friends from the Synod and further a field. Yesterday Saturday (24th) Maureen
Stevenson helped to organise and take part in a walk to raise funds for repairs
to the Gorodi
Road.
Please pray that the road will soon be made much safer; and that the
Centenary Celebration weekend will be a very blessed time and benefit the whole
Synod, as well as the community that lives and works at Livingstonia.

> AMERICAN GUESTS
On Sunday 2nd
October, 22 students from Whitworth College in Spokane, Washington State, USA, will be worshiping with
us. They are on a European study tour
and will be in Northern
Ireland from 29th September to 4th
October. They would especially like to
meet people rather than just be ‘tourists’.
It is therefore suggested that we seek volunteers who would be willing
to meet them at the end of the morning service on Sunday 2nd October
and bring 2 of them home for lunch and return them to the halls at 6.00pm. This is the second time students from
Whitworth have visited us and their previous time with us was a highlight of
their time in the UK and Ireland. If you are willing to be a host please give
your name to Trevor Long (90710012).
> Sunday 9th October,
2.30pm: Kirk Session Meeting
> Tuesday 11th October
7/8pm: Finance/Committee
meetings
> HELP NEEDED
Our Youth
Club is continuing to grow with over 195 young people attending on the opening
night and our success means we need more help.
We would therefore like to invite anyone who would be willing to become
a helper - perhaps once or twice a month - to contact the Leader in Charge, Trevor Long, or any of the other leaders. You’re assistance might simply be to
supervise the perimeter of the halls grounds or serve behind the Tuck
Shop. The Club meets most Friday evenings
from 7.30 to 10.00pm.
Trevor can
be contacted on 9071 0012.
> ANNUAL REPORT EDITOR
Jimmy
Paul has for many years meticulously and successfully
compiled our Annual Report which is distributed to each family in the
congregation. Jimmy informed the
Committee that he wishes to relinquish his duties but is very willing to help
his successor to get settled into the job.
He has created a “tried and trusted method” which works very well. It involves collating the information needed
(most of which is already on file but requires updating each year) and making
sure the printers have it on time! Work
on the report starts around the beginning of December and is completed in mid
February. Do you have the skills and the
necessary time to take on this job?
Please think about it. Speak to
Jimmy (9086 1743) who will be happy to take the time to fill you in on what is
involved and answer any questions.
