A Prayer you may like to use as you prepare for worship
Heavenly Father, we praise you for your greatness and Your love for all Your people everywhere. We thank you that Your
love is given unconditionally and that we don’t have to earn it. Help us to understand what it means to be kept and loved
by you, so that we may learn to trust you for all things and praise you each day of our lives.
Please remember in your prayers
our elderly and housebound’

volunteers from Altrincham on 9th February to UGANDA. He took the opportunity to talk to the ladies about his

Joseph and his Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat
The drama group at Timperley are planning a performance of Joseph on the afternoon of
Sunday 10th May. We are hoping to welcome children from Altrincham, Bowdon Vale, The Vine
& Timperley to join us and to take the main parts. Also, it is going to be a sing-a-long event, so
we intend the chorus to be mostly adults, who would like to join us. Rehearsals are on
Thursdays from 6.30pm to 7.30pm. (If you cannot commit to practices, then we will be
encouraging audience participation on the day.)
If you are tempted, please turn up to any rehearsal. If you have any queries, speak to Jacky at
Timperley - 07714260053 or Liz Harwood at Altrincham - 07939931017. We would love you
