NOVEMBER 2008  
22 Sat 7.30pm Crowmoor Baptist Church, Shrewsbury; A Celebration of Hope08.
Led by Brian Mills. Brian heads up Interprayer and International Prayer and Reconciliation Group. He was the visionary behind the prayer triplet group for Mission England which has since been used extensively throughout the world and he is also involved in the prayer initiative for the 2012 Olympic Games.
The Prayer Day and Celebration Meeting at which Brian Mills was to be the speaker are not now taking place on 22nd November.
Brian’s son was critically injured in a road traffic accident some weeks ago and he is therefore not able to come to Shrewsbury at this time. In view of this fact both the daytime and evening events on 22nd November have been cancelled. We continue to pray for Brian, his wife, daughter-in-law and grandchildren at this difficult time.
It is hoped to be able to rearrange his visit for a future date – possibly Spring 2009 - and hold a meeting to celebrate the work of Hope 08 on that occasion. Further details of this will follow in due , as and when they can be finalised.
Crowmoor
30 Sun   Look forward to welcoming the Son of God with an Advent Sunday celebration.
(Central Telford Ecumenical Partnership, South Telford Association of Churches, Telford Christian Council).
