worshipping with us, do take a

activities that run mid-week – see
one of the Stewards.
Stewards can help you find your
way around our building if you need
assistance.
Toy bags are available to borrow
from the sideboard in the front foyer
if you feel your children would
appreciate them during the service.
Children & Young People have their
own groups part way through the

because of our Holiday Club last week, or are relatives, friends or neighbours
of Alex and Suzie Gould, we give you a WARM WELCOME! Do make
yourselves known to us after the service over a drink and biscuit.
Alex and Suzie Gould have brought Abigail this morning especially to thank God
for His precious gift to them and to ask His blessing on her life.

GREETNGS!
If you haven’t already seen it, Katia, from Belarus, has sent us a lovely card which is on the
doors near the kitchen hatch. It reads, ‘Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,
Thank you for your lovely gift for me! It was such a pleasant surprise.
Thank you for sending Tim and Thiago to the conference. Students
share that the conference was full of revelations for them. We learnt a
lot from Moses and his character. We learnt that God of Moses is our
God! Thank you for your prayers. I do really need them. With love in
Christ, Katia Severinchik.’

There is a Welcome Conference at the Riverside Centre on
Saturday 21 March, from 9am to 2.30pm. This will be a chance to
explore how we can help Asylum Seekers and Refugees, and better
understand their situation in Derby. Prior booking is essential.

posters by the kitchen hatch.
ThinkIVP!!
IVP is looking for volunteers to help in their bookshops at one of the two
weeks at Word Alive in Prestatyn around the Easter period and also over one
of the three weeks at Keswick in July. Fuller details are on the poster by the
kitchen hatch. Kevin and Sue volunteered last year at Keswick. Please speak
to them if you want any further details.
"I have been working with a local Cub Scout pack for a number
of years, which several of our church young people have
attended. I am now stepping up to become "Akela" and at the
moment we can't find anyone to fill the gap I'm leaving, so it
looks like it's just me! Please pray for me as I take on this new
role and extra responsibilities. If you think this is something
you might like to help with, or you want to know what we get up
to, come and ask me about it. George Bunting (73rd Tigers)"
