Hospital Care:- this week Eric Day entered hospital, Ted Longhurst had a stroke and has been admitted to Guildford hospital, Ruth Deevoy is in Redhill having had a knee replacement. Please remember them all in your prayers and their loved ones.
Tuesday 10th June: our hall was packed for the service for thanksgiving for the life and influence of Trisha Reay. Captains Ian and Susan led the service, supported by various people who shared their own reflections, including previous corps officers, Major Kevin and Captain Catherine Rand and our own Marion and Les Daniels. Beth Reay spoke on behalf of the family. A tea was held back at our church afterwards.
Sunday 8th June was a great day, and we knew and celebrated God among us. The captains returned, Susan was in Crawley today, and Lieutenant Nicola shared with us in Horsham to lead worship, and Ian preached. We continue to explore the Holy Spirit, and Ian looked at Zecariah 4: 6 - Its not by might, nor by Power, but by My Spirit - reminding us all of the importance of allowing it to be all about God and not ourselves. Being the first in the month TOGETHER we held in the evening, and a great number attended. Lieutenant Nicola led the event and focussed our thoughts on Worship.
