CHURCH FIRE

This morning we arrived at church and were devasted to see that the portacabin which we all worked so hard to finish and prepare for the church childrens activities had been destroyed by a fire.

The fire appears to have been started by vandals and occurred in the early hours of Sunday morning. Although this is a great tragedy, we WILL be running all the church activites as planned for the autumn.

Toddlers, our new activity for tots and their carers, will take place as planned this Tuesday morning (September 11th) in the Scout Hall at 10.30am.


Please pray that God will bring some good out of this terrible situation, as we continue to show the love of God to the Ards community.

Wow ~ what a heartbreak to see those photos of the fire after all you have done to prepare. What a testimony of faith in adversity you are sharing with your community. Your church name says it all! Bill and I are praying for you even in California. Love and hugs ~

After the heartbreak last weekend we were delighted that your Mums and toddlers took place on Tuesday with eleven Mums and their children coming along. We pray that this extension of the work at Thriving Life may continue to grow and that many lives will be changed through our Lord Jesus
