Email Addresses
 With our ever-growing mailing list and the increase in postal charges, we now need to look at ways to reduce costs. Emailing, instead of posting, our newsletter to as many people as possible is one way of doing this. If you have an email address that we can use as a way of communicating with you, we would be grateful if you would let us know, either by email or by telephoning John or Lyn.

PRAYER

I know not by what methods rare,
But this I know, God answers prayer.
I know that He has given His word,
Which tells me prayer is always heard,
And will be answered, soon or late;
And so I pray, and calmly wait.

I know not if the blessing sought
Will come in just the way I thought,
But leave my prayers with Him alone
Whose will is wiser than my own,
Assured that He will grant my quest,
Or send some answer far more blest.

- Eliza M Hickok
