Can I say thank you for the many phone calls, cards and messages I have had, I am very touched. My knee replacement is on the mend and I am now able to move around with some discomfort with sticks, but doing my physio like a good girl!!!!  Off to dad's for a couple of weeks by the sea and New Forest so will enjoy that paddle and those walks.  Chris Glazebrook

Celebration of approx. 21 years as Prayer Partners
We (Sue and Sandy) are celebrating being Prayer Partners for over 21 years.
We became Prayer Partners through a Lent Course run here by the late Rev. Janet Lucas. The choice was not ours; Janet decided that we should be put together. We have both since admitted if we had been given the choice neither of us would have chosen the other! However, not only has it been a fantastic Prayer Partnership, a great friendship has also grown out of it.
Over the years we have seen many prayers answered (some not in the way we necessarily wanted), shared many joys and sadly also many sorrows.
God never ceases to surprise us with many ‘God incidences’ in our prayers. Often whilst praying, one of us has shared something and the other has said “that’s odd I was just about to say ……” Our prayers are shared face to face, by phone call and by text but always with GOD IN THE CENTRE! Matthew 18 verse 20: “For where two or three are gathered in my name, I am there among them”.
We can’t stress enough the benefits and rewards of having someone to pray with weekly. In our case, it has also meant having someone who you can rely on to be available to pray for you, no matter what time of day or night.
Don’t be wary of forming a Prayer Partnership because you can’t immediately think of someone who you would be comfortable with …. Our partnership is proof that God will find you the right person.
If anyone is interested in the idea of forming their own Prayer Partnership or just wants to know more, please come and speak to us anytime. Sue Church and Sandy Reed.
