Fellowship News (September 2021)

We’re thankful that the Furus family have been able to have an enjoyable holiday during this past month with Covid precautions/restrictions managed.

Through August we have been blessed with a number of preachers in both our morning and evening services.

Now we look forward to Calix resuming most of the Sunday ministry this month. May we pray for him in his times of preparation that the Lord would make His word to be powerfully applied to all our hearts by his Holy Spirit..

For members and other baptised friends joining us at the chapel, we will be sharing communion together on 5 th September, following the morning service.
