A few days ago, you all received an email about our next Churches Together evening at the Moors Methodist Chapel on Tuesday the 17th of May. (Poster on the right) Refreshments will be available during the evening and so I am, once again, looking for cake contributions! Please could you circulate members of your congregation and ask if some of them would like to make / buy a cake for this event and if so, please could they contact me on the email address below?
Thanking you in advance.

You are all very welcome to attend but we realise that this would probably be difficult for you on a Sunday morning.However, we would really welcome your prayers for Chris, Hannah and their four children as they prepare to join us. We hope there will be an opportunity for you all to meet Chris in the not too distant future.
We really value our connection with you all and the opportunity to ask for your prayers at this time.

NEWS FROM ORIEL ABOUT SUBSCRIPTIONS
Dear church leaders and CTOD reps,
As you may remember, last year the CTOD Executive took the decision that since the expenses for the year had been limited largely because of COVID and since the CTOD bank balance was in good shape, there was no need to ask for annual subs from member churches. This email is to let you know that the situation remains the same again for the year ahead. We have only a few bills to pay and we have sufficient funds to cover our expenses so there is no need to ask for subscriptions. We shall be grateful if you can kindly pass this message to the treasurer of your church.
With many thanks and with every good wish,
Oriel
Secretary to CTOD on behalf of the Executive

A message from Oriel. Please pass the number on to anyone you know who might be glad of the phone number:-
Just in case it may be helpful especially to any who do not use the internet, I see that this week "The Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, has launched a free national phone line as a simple new way to bring worship and prayer into people's homes while church buildings are closed because of the coronavirus.
Daily Hope offers music, prayers and reflections as well as full worship services from the Church of England at the end of a telephone line.
The line - which is available 24 hours a day on 0800 804 8044 - has been set up particularly with those unable to join online church services during the period of restrictions in mind."
Fuller information is available on the following link -

Kind regards, Oriel
