Rwanda Weekend                                                                                                           We give thanks that Ralph's idea for the fundraising weekend had good reason to be successful. On 9th July St John's hosted a meal at which members of the Gospel Church and Gateway Church joined us, making 30 present. After the meal Rev Jim Stevens gave us an excellent illustrated update of life in Rwanda.                                                            Huge thanks go to our catering team led by Rosemary Popple with Pat, Moira and Ann. The total raised so far is £505.                                                                                        Rev Jim also led our worship at the Communion Service on Sunday.
