A big thank you to all those who shared, prayed and listened to what people had to say about the work of the church over the last year at our annual general meeting and church meeting on Tuesday night. A huge amount of work goes into the annual reports and helps us to take a moment together to recognise what has been happening and to pray about the future. We heard a specific mission update about what is happening both in and out of the building including mission abroad as well as on our own doorstep at Beacon and in our local community.
“I will give thanks to you, Lord, with all my heart; I will tell of all your wonderful deeds.”
