ALPHA - Do you have questions about life? Would you like to know more about Christianity? We will be running Alpha, an informal 10 week course, from Tuesday 12th January from 1pm-3pm at St Margaret’s, Argyll Street and again at 7pm-9pm at St Anne and All Saints, Acacia Ave.  All are welcome. Could you come and help? Who could you invite and bring along? Please pray for us, too. 

Coventry Night Shelter.…please be praying for this venture, for safety and strength for all involved in running it and for God to bless the guests who will be benefitting from it. Please pray that God’s love is made known, and also that the guests are able to make real progress in getting off the streets permanently. There are also likely to be other overheads so any monetary donations would be welcomed if that is how you feel called to respond. If you can possibly help, the more volunteers we have, the less often each person needs to volunteer. Please speak to Elke
