Pastor’s Update
I was away from Downham this past Sunday preaching for a pastor friend in Woolwich. Please pray for the work of the gospel in Woolwich as there has been a wave of crime taking place in and around the church there.
Paul Waller was a blessing to our church, I believe, on this past Sunday. You can listen to his sermon online. A big thanks to all the volunteers and those who serve in so many ways. You guys are amazing!
God continues to provide for our church is so many ways. Please continue to pray for our renovation fund. We now have £150 of the £2500 needed to do up the entryway and toilets of the church. For more information about the project, go here.
Also, a big thanks to those who helped put together and send out the shoeboxes to Romania. Here is a picture from Maria of the boxes that we sent to bless seven individuals!
I am looking forward to getting back into Philippians this coming Sunday. Also, if you have time, please have a read at the article on ‘What is the Church?’ This is the first in a series of articles I intend to write on the church.
God bless, and have a good week! – Pastor Travis
