Thanksgiving Service
What a day! Many friends joined us at St John’s to celebrate God’s love and faithfulness. It was a privilege to have the Deputy Mayor, Mike Rusbridge, and his wife Chris, join us for the service. Also, to have Marilyn Baker ministering to us again; God touches the hearts of so many people through her songs
Lilla, Doreen and Bob, founder members of Crossways, along with Christine, Leslie and Lilla’s daughter, were able to share with us about the early days of Crossways. It was fascinating and exciting to hear what they had to say and, although Crossways is very different forty years on, it is still the same God to whom we look to show us the way forward.
Brian Woodgate, our speaker, picked up on the theme of God’s faithfulness and had a prophetic word for Crossways, for which we would appreciate your prayers as we consider what God is saying to us for the future.
After the service we all went into the Church hall for refreshments and there was a lot of talking and laughter – just how it should be when family and friends are celebrating.
We are grateful to a large number of people who gave up their time to help us make these events so successful, we could not have done without them. Special thanks to Katy Webster, the events manager, for the months of hard work she put in and to St John’s Church for making their wonderful facilities available to us.
