LIFE Expo Update
Six schools are booked in to visit the LIFE Expo at St John’s Church. Locks Heath.
They are Park Gate Primary School. Tichfield Primary School. Whitley Primary School. Hook with Warsash COE Primary School, St John the Baptist COF Primary School & Sarisbury Junior School.
A team of volunteer helpers are slowly coming together (room for more!) and we are anticipating a number of local groups i.e. sea Scoutts to visit in the evenings.
A busy week ahead as hundreds of children and adults visit this great resource!
Please pray for Gordon as he organises this event.
Life continues to be on hold
Life continues to be on hold at the moment as Gordon’s mother is still very ill. This means a reduction in meetings and activities and a lot of travelling and time spent at mums (Lillian Curley) bedside in the hospice. She has recently had two strokes and last week her health deteriorated badly, it is now just a matter of time. Your prayers are appreciated for the family at this time.
