Good evening my friends,

How are you today? 

I was thinking about what to share with you in this letter this evening and it occurred to me that I needed to seek your opinion please. My diary is obviously full of all sorts of lovely things that are going on in local churches but I tend not to share them, only really publicising things that are specifically ministry area wide events. I think when the number of churches was fewer, and I began writing to some of you, I did remind you of the local specific community and church events.

Anyway, the question is – would you like me to include in this email a weekly reminder of the various church events and special things that are imminent or should I keep things simple? The recent comms surveys that you filled in have produced a wonderful amount of information and we are beginning to look at this and dig into it a little, but one of the comments was about needing things to be simple and relevant. So over to you – would you like me to try to include local church stuff?

With that in mind, you’ll be pleased to hear that there is another Big Breakfast planned for Saturday 27^th July in the Memorial Hall in Usk, 8am-11am. Local produce cooked and served, at the amazing price of whatever you think it is worth and you can afford. The food is amazing, and the atmosphere is friendly and fun. Come alone or bring family and friends, we would love to see you.

Finally I would like to thank you for all your encouragement and support at the moment. It doesn’t go unnoticed that so many of you quietly go about doing wonderful and important things for the work of the church, so that I can spend time doing what I do. Sometimes I wish my admin load was lighter, but every day I have conversations and opportunities to pray about things and people, situations and events, that make me very glad to be amongst you, and very sure that God is working his purpose out amongst us, and for us, in ways we can only begin to imagine.

Please continue to be your positive, prayerful, encouraging selves – you’re awesome!

Be assured of my prayers and love,

Sally xx
