THE E-MAIL PRAYER LINK:
welcomes new members and is glad to take prayer requests. Please
speak with Jenny if you would like something included.
You can e-mail me but do not need a computer for requests, or to join
the link. I can print sheets for people who do not have e-mail facilities.
We include local, not worldwide needs, because the monthly sheet
would be too enormous! I try to keep it to an A4 sheet.

found on www.christianaid.org.uk
We will be asking for volunteers after Easter. Many thanks Gus

member some time ago....
Unless of yourse you know different?
