FairTrade Festival is here!

Below you will find some links for the Festival of Climate and FairTrade which starts on Monday 22 Feb.

With international climate summits coming to the UK this year, we have an unmissable opportunity to push world leaders to deliver urgently needed support for those already feeling the worst effects of the climate crisis.
A deeply unfair global trade system means many simply aren’t earning enough to adapt to a changing climate which – through increasingly extreme weather patterns, rising temperatures and more deadly plant diseases – poses an immediate threat to their livelihoods. 
We need to change this

Step into the festival to find out how you can play your part..

London City Mission is hiring

London City Mission Pioneers are Christians who were raised and still live in some of the poorest areas of London and who have a heart for the lost. Their lives have been transformed by the Gospel message, and they want to pass it on to others.
They are looking to hire a part-time Christian Pioneer to join the team, working 24 hours a week for a two-year fixed-term contract. For more information visit their website.

Pastoral Issues

If you are aware of any pastoral issues that you feel the church pastoral team should be aware of, please contact Steve or a member of the Leadership Team.

Where You Go, I Will Go - new study on the book of Ruth

Where You Go, I Will Go is a 40-day series of Bible studies, reflections and prayers on the book of Ruth. In the Bible Ruth helps her mother-in-law, Naomi, find protection after their husbands die. Ruth is subsequently mentioned in the genealogy of Jesus in the Gospel of Matthew.
As we've been studying the Book of Ruth over the past few weeks you might find this series of Bible studies to go through over the lent period. The book is available to order on the Baptist Union Website.
