Outreach Worker  We are delighted to announce that we have appointed Amy Farrer as our full time Outreach Worker.  Part of her role will be to oversee our existing outreach activities in the Oasis Lounge and also explore how we can extend this outreach.  We are excited to welcome Amy and pray God's blessing on her work.

Girls Brigade resume their weekly meetings this Tuesday 

Thank you from Street Pastors  "We have received a wonderful donation of £200 from the Methodist Church.  Thank you so much for this.  You are a most generous and thoughtful supporter, and we really do appreciate your gifts.  It will certainly help to keep our weekly patrols on the street of Bishops Stortford."

With richest blessings, Pippa Roy-Chowdhury, Coordinator, Bishop’s Stortford & Sawbridgeworth Street Pastors 

Praise Party at St Andrew's Methodist Church, Harlow, on Sunday 28 April.  This will be led by Doug Horley and is especially aimed at children and young families, although others are also welcome (see the poster attached). It promises to be full of Jesus - and great fun!  Doug Horley is a Christian evangelist/singer/entertainer who is highly recommended by Gill Hulme. It will be a 90-minute very engaging (time flies by) experience, starting at 3.30pm and finishing with party food for everyone at about 5.00pm.  The URC Eastern Synod is sponsoring this event but there is a cost of £10 per family.  To book a place please email admin@urceastern.org.uk or email Blair Kirkby on bkirkby@msn.com.  For more info, ring Nicola Grieves on 07515 721172.
