Breathemail Feb 2st 2010

Afternoon everyone,

As things have been juggled arouind this week, I'm sending out the weekly email a day early.

Tomorrow - I'm on a day off as I'm working Tueday, my normal weekly day off.

Tuesday - I've got several meetings, including an extra meeting of the Churches LEadership Team in the evening (so won't be going to hockey Will, sorry.)

Wednesday - Amy and I will both be at George Spencer CU (assuming it hasn't snowed too much by then!) and Starbucks in the afternoon. There is also a meeting in the evening for anyone involced in the Sunday school groups we run at Toton Churches. It's at 7.30 at St P's.

Thursday - Showcase is on at George Spencer after school, and Cafe Breathe is on at TMC in the evening.

Friday - Both youth groups are on at TMC in the evening at the usual times.

Next Sunday Bisoke is helping to lead the evneing service at St P's (6 pm), which will be a great opportunity to hear about the work he and Judy Acheson have been doing in DR Congo.

Many of you will know Major Bruce Spencer, whom we've been sending regular supplies of Revels chocolates to in Afghanistan. During the week, I had this email from him:

Dear all Andy please share this with Breathe It was wonderful to see you all when i was home three weeks a go and I have just returned from a town near marjah to find your Revels waiting for me on return. They are really great to hand round and encourage a " giving" atmosphere in the office. I have to confess to having a concience this time - I have been away on operations ( you may have seen the news coverage) in Marjah and Nad Ali and hev been without chocolate for a couple of weeks and therefore I may not share as many as i normally do. Normal service will be resumed..... later! Thank you all for your support whilst I am here , it is great to have the package come through every Sunday , its really uplifting. Some people who promised to write frequently have gradually tailed off , but those friends in churches have continued to write. It shows real Christian commitment and you should not underestimate the good it does , and shows the world how generous and inclusive Christians are.

It may seem like a small gesture each week, but thank you to everyone who has taken a turn to send the Revels.

Have a good week, and hope to see you round Toton somewhere.

God bless,

Andy
