Photos can only capture so much of what God has done in people’s lives this year, however. There have been two funerals at church (remembering and celebrating the lives of Angela Craven and Letty Fletcher who both went to be with the Lord in April and November respectively). People have served faithfully in a range of ministries, including the Monday Night Youth, Parent & Toddler group, coffee mornings, cleaning, helping with the food bank, preaching, praying, painting and decorating, leading worship, playing music and giving financially. We had a flying visit from missionaries Steve & Katuska Davies who attended the September wedding en route to their niece’s wedding in Derbyshire. We continued to support the ministries of Fredrick and Reeba in India and have sponsored Bedline Bazile in Haiti. As we look back on 2015, we’re grateful for all God has done, for His healing and strengthening, for His amazing grace to us all. We are looking forward to 2016 as the ‘yield year’ when we see fruitfulness and harvest for all the seed sown.
