BU President Kingsley Appiagyei has made a prayer call for Saturday July 4th.  Please take time out that day to pray.  There is a prayer guide on this link (PDF File) which will help us focus our thoughts and prayers.   This will be circulated to members and friends a few days before as a reminder.

Parish Nursing wins Faithworks Award!
Faithworks Awards 2009 Logo
 MRBC Parish Nursing has won the Anthony Collins Community Excellence Award for Adult Health and Social Care at the 2009 Faithworks Awards.  A team from MRBC collected the award of £5000 at the House of Commons on 8th June. 
We are grateful to Faithworks for the endorsement of both the professional and spiritual integrity of the MRBC Parish Nursing Project.   Winning a national award from a respected body like Faithworks gives profile to Parish Nursing in the UK as well as here in Felixstowe.  We praise God for all that He's doing in the Parish Nursing ministry,  and pray that He will countinue to touch people's lives through it.  Many thanks to all those who have committed time and energy to Parish Nursing at MRBC, particularly Jane.  It has been a superb team effort.

More good news about Parish Nursing

The May Church Meeting recognised a call of God to appoint Jane Pears on a permanent two day a week contract when her present one  finishes in November.   As a church we know this is a step of faith, but we believe that this ministry will play an important part in the mission of the church in the coming years. 

The May Ball raised just over £2300.  Many thanks to Sonia Stephenson who organised the event.
The sponsored head shave and leg wax raised £750.   Thanks to Mark, Barney, Colin and Steve who volunteered their bodies!!   Below are a couple of photos from David Myers'  Facebook collection.
