John Wesley's Rule

Do all the good you can,
By all the means you can,
In all the ways you can,
In all the places you can,
At all the times you can,
To all the people you can,
As long as ever you can.

Our harvest supper on 18 September will raise funds for MRDF and there will be envelopes in the pews to receive donations at our Harvest Festival services the next day.

Please pray for help to reach those who need it.
