Sunday BBQ


 Just a reminder that we’re meeting on Sunday 22nd for a social/barbeque at Keyfox Farm, Balls Cross Road .  
 
Time: 11.30 am to 2 pm (ish)
 
Bring: 
  • Meat etc for the barbeque – please include a little extra as we’re giving hospitality to some members of Eric Roadnight’s family too…
  • EITHER a salad/savoury dish OR a pud   PLEASE contact Caroline so we can balance out amounts of savoury/sweet!
  • Something cold to drink
  • A chair (or rug) to sit on!  Maybe an umbrella/gazebo if it’s blazing hot….!
 
Coffee/tea/squash provided, and some bread rolls. 
 
Danny & Caroline have games, so hopefully (weather permitting) there’ll be time for bouncing around before and after the barbeque.
 
Please drive into the second entrance beyond the house and park in the yard.
 
Have we forgotten anything?  Let Caroline/Danny know – or if you have suggestions.
 
Blessings,
 
Caroline and Danny

From Hannah...

Hi everyone,

Just a quick message as I unpack from a week's cycling holiday (where Kate beat me up all the hills!) and get ready to leave for France again (hoping I can remember how to speak French having been waffling away in English for a good few weeks now!). For the month of August I will be volunteering on a YWAM base in the Champagne region of France, then I'll be back to Paris for a couple more months' of French study from September.

My address for August will be: Hannah Sneller, Jeunesse en Mission, 15 rue du Nozin, 51210 Le Gault-Soigny, France

I've recently sent out a newsletter which goes into more detail about what I am up to – if anyone hasn't already seen a copy and would like one then email me and I'll send it on. Thanks again to you all for your amazing gifts – especially for the offering taken on my behalf back in June – and support and prayers as I continue this time of learning French and exploring what God has for me in the future.

Love Hannah

My Psalm


God I’m angry, frustrated and I can feel it growing
The tension, the stress and uncertainty of all this not knowing
What the future holds; and doesn’t look pretty
So will you act soon, have you heard are you ready


Why is it that the bankers, politicians and business men
Who caused this might mess we’re in are livin’ it up again
It feels like I’m out there working with the needy
While others who don’t give a toss pass the buck neatly


So what am I to do Lord, will you come rescue me?
Will you make the path smooth, will you show them you’re mighty
I do know you can do it Lord, I know you have a plan that’s good
I know that I don’t need to be worrying about my family’s food


So I will stand strong with both feet planted
On the rock of ages, with a peaceful heart granted
These storms may come along and try to tip me up
But to you Lord they’re no more than a swell in a tea cup


You’re the rock I stand on, not money or position
So I come before you now with humble contrition
You’re the God of everything and your praises I’ll shout
And know that my little problems are nothing for you to sort out
