Hello everyone,
This week we have been praying for Kath Wade who was rushed to hospital on Wednesday. Kath remains in KGH and is undergoing tests, so still in need of our prayers.
St Columba’s PCC met on Tuesday and established an Environment Group. If you would like to be part of this small group developing the Environment Policy of the church and helping us build on the work we have already done to be a more environmentally friendly church please email ianpullinger@btinternet.com.
I saw Kevin on Monday and he is well and enjoying his ministry, although facing the challenge of not having a PCC at one of his churches.
Keep reading for news of all the events coming up in the life of the church.

LINKS
Please find here STEVE’S PUZZLES & OTHER STUFF 114. Steve writes: “Part of the issue is focused on more of God’s secret agents – this time Angels. Some great stories and a picture to wonder at. If you have any stories/experiences of them, please send them to me for a future issue. Also, as we celebrate D-Day I came across a moving story of a US Navy Seal called Murph who was killed in Afghanistan along with most of his team. On the day of his funeral, as they drove away, his mother was shocked to get a delayed text message from him saying, “Mom, I’m home safe and sound. Mike”. How would you have reacted? She startled her husband so much he slammed on the brakes! A message of safe arrival in heaven, arranged by God? There’s also the usual fun stuff, puzzles etc. Hope you not only enjoy but are truly blessed.
Also here is the latest PRAYER UPDATE from Hope From Above in Australia. Don’t forget Tim & Carol Derbyshire will be with us on Sunday 23rd June for our Morning Service and a VICARAGE TEA PARTY in the afternoon.
With best wishes to everyone,
