PRAYER CALENDAR

Our Prayer Calendar for May is available. We all want to support others in prayer but sometimes don't know how to do that. This calendar guides our daily thinking as we lift up others in their need. It has been sent by Email and some will receive it in their letter boxes. If you still need one, please contact your Elder.

Going to church doesn’t make you a Christian any more than going to a garage makes you an automobile.

 The Bible tells us to love our neighbours, and also to love our enemies; probably because they are generally the same people. ~ G. K. Chesterton

EASTWOOD CHRISTIAN COMMUNITY AID

Did you notice the dip in the temperature during the week? Your help is very welcome in building stocks of canned, warming foods which will help those less fortunate than ourselves. Also remember that many lonely people depend on their four-footed or bird friends for company and those need feeding too.
