Our Happenings
Please think about your neighbour in church if you like to wear any type of scent. Many people have allergies to perfumes and scents. Help us to be an allergy free church.

"I said to the man
that stood at the gate of the year
Give me a light that I may tread safely into the unknown
And he replied: "Go out into the darkness and put your hand
in the hand of God. That shall be to you a better than light and
safer than a known way"". (M.L. Haskins)
There will be a newsletter in the next month. It will be posted.

ABOUT COMPUTERS
Rev. Deline does come to us with a solid
scientific and technical background. He says one of the ways he maintains his
sanity is to: "refurbish old, upgradeable computers" for use by churches, NGO's
and students who are in need. If you have a computer you don't know what to do
with (at the very least a Pentium 3 or equivalent),
please contact us; if you need a computer for word processing and to function as
a fax machine we will try to get something in shape!
