It is with great sadness that we have to report the sudden death of Helen Tucker. The affection in which she was held was clearly shown by the number of people who attended her service, some of whom had travelled considerable distances. We continue to pray for God's strength and comfort for Brian and all the family at this time.
Bernard Gifford would appreciate visitors or calls after his recent eye operation. We wish him a happy 80th birthday on the 17th February.
Several of our friends and members have had short stays in hospital and are now recovering well as home. They are named in the printed edition of Outlook and we wish them all well.
Roy and Margaret Deller's new address in Grimsby is in the printed edition of Outlook
We also remember many other friends who are struggling at this time and also friends in residential care.We assure all these friends of our concern and prayers.
t was a real joy on the 15th January to welcome Kerry Fox, Mark Hobson and Eva when they brought Jack for an Act of Dedication. The church was full with family, friends and well-wishers, and thanks to Nessa a lively service, centred on Jesus and Zacchaeus, was enjoyed by all, followed by lunch generously provided by Kerry and Mark. Peter and Joyce Bleasby have agreed to be Church Friends to Jack.
We congratulate Tony and Kay Freeman who celebrated their Golden Wedding Anniversary on 27th January. They were married at Tilehouse Street Church ...maybe their are still some friends around who attended that service? Tony is still undergoing treatment and they would value our prayers.
Janet and Brian Impey have now settled into their London flat and we are very appreciative of the number of times they manage to make it back to Hitchin. They hope to give us their new telephone number next month.
On Sunday, 5th February, we will again be including in Morning Worship the Re-Dedication of our Pastoral Care Visitors and contact people. If you can, please come - but anyway do remember us in your prayers.
We are already into the New Year and there is lots to look forward to, lots that can be achieved in the Lord's Name. I pray that we will have the faith to step out, relying on His guidance.

Thank-you to all those friends who receive Outlook each month, and who wrote, sent cards and donations.
It is great to have news, and it is good to keep in touch! Thank-you for your sympathy, cards and flowers sent to me when my Dad passed away. Your kindness was much appreciated. Thank-you so much for the lovely plant and card which was given to me for Christmas. I wish you all a very Happy New Year. I wish to thank the church for the card and beautiful cactus plant in bud, given to me just prior to Christmas. |
We wish to say many, many thanks to the team of people who prepared, cooked and served the excellent Christmas meal which we enjoyed early in December. Thank-you too for the Christmas cactus which Mary Taylor delivered. It is making a good show! Thank-you all for your cards, prayers and good wishes as we settle into life in Lincolnshire - we have certainly appreciated your love and concern that you have shown to us. |
We would like to thank all of you who contributed to Marie Curie Cancer Care. We raised £140.51.
Thank you for your donations and to all who helped with the sorting.
Anne King.
