Newsy bits and bobs...

It was fun to be together at Sarah & Dewi's today for our community meal. There were a bunch of dates and newsy bits and bobs, so I thought it might be worth posting them up here...

Please pray for Phil and others who are hosting a prayer space in Coopers (secondary) School, Upminster this week (22nd - 26th). This is the third 'prayer spaces in school' week since September, and there are at least four more in our Borough before July. Amazing stuff!

And please pray for Rich, who's doing a Fair Trade presentation tomorrow. See below for all the info on Fair Trade fortnight which starts today.

Izzy is one of 24-7's Wild Goose interns this year, and she'll be staying with the Toggies/Newmans from Monday 22nd till Thursday 25th. Say hello if you bump into her.

Monday 22nd: creative/craft circle at Toggies/Newmans from 7.30pm. Anyone is welcome to come and join in... either to share a creative skill, or learn one, or just join in/watch. Lots of fun.

Tuesday 23rd: prayer at Rosi & Jon's, from 8.30pm

Thursday 25th: Unseen Traffick follow up evening, at The Deeper Lounge beside St Edwards Church in Romford market-place, from 7.30pm - whether you saw the Unseen Traffick show back in November or not, if you're interested in 'human trafficking' in any way, you're very welcome to come along. Caroline Shepherd and Sue & Drew are hosting an session to explore human trafficking a little more, and to consider how we can engage in challenging this injustice, beginning locally.

Sunday 28th: Mandy Moo (ex-Wild Goose intern - she's already visited us a few times) coming to stay with Anna & Tim for a month, to 'check us/Romford out', and to decide whether to move here permanently. Be hospitable. Invite her for dinner.

prayer weekend... we'll be praying for at least 24 hours (maybe more) between Friday 5th and Sunday 7th March. Any preferences/thoughts?
