I hope you're well! I'm inviting you to be part of something amazing this summer. 24/7 Prayer for Revival in Telford is happening again – running from Thursday 28th to Saturday 30th August at Admaston House (St Christopher’s room), and we’d love to see you there… your prayers will make a difference to this town. Last year people from at least a dozen churches came to pray both individually and corporately.
The room will open at 8am on Thursday 28th and close at 10pm on Saturday 30th. Overnight praying is virtual from home using inspiration from the Facebook Page:

Whether you pray in person in the day or from home at night you can just turn up or ideally book here: (so we know there is always someone praying)

Each day will start with prayer together (8am on Thursday and 6.30am on Friday and Saturday).
Each day will end with worship and prayer together from 8-10pm
During the day there will be around 10 prayer stations encouraging and inspiring creative prayer for Revival in Telford and surrounding areas using the theme of holiness. You can pray individually or join informally with anyone else present to pray.
If you're interested or have any questions, please don't hesitate to get in touch with me at helenking71@btinternet.com – I’d love to hear from you!
Look forward to seeing you there,

There is a historiacl and a rational basis for Jesus being the Son of God.
Hosted by Dawley Baptist Church; the evidence is presented on Tuesday 28th October at 7.30pm by Derek McIntyre.
Much has been written & spoken about Jesus, some doubting that He even existed. As Christians we believe that He is the Son of God. But what evidence is there to support such belief? This presentation on Tuesday 28th October gives an insight to actual evidence that all should know about.
So if you aren't sure about your belief in Jesus; have doubts about God and Jesus, or just can't believe there is a God – this presentation is right for you.

Michelle from Schoolreaders has contacted the church:
Schoolreaders is a charity that finds local people who are able to visit a local primary school for an hour or two a week to listen to children read individually and help to improve their reading and comprehension skills. Reading for pleasure is currently the most significant factor in improving a child's access to secondary education and their life chances beyond, and our volunteers help with to encourage this as well by giving the children more confidence with their reading.
As I mentioned, our volunteers visit their school weekly for an hour or two in term time (holidays can be taken during the school year). They need to have good written and spoken English but they do not need any other skills or prior experience. They will also need to have a DBS check carried out but this is done by the school and is at no cost to the volunteer.
We are currently looking for more volunteers in Telford and I would really appreciate it if you were able to share some information about volunteering with Schoolreaders with the members of your church community? I have attached a couple of e-flyers in case you are able to share in a newsletter but could send some hard copies in the post if they would be more use? More information about the charity and volunteering with us can be found on our website
