For Your Prayers

The next meeting for Prayers and Meditation on December 10th will be the last in this format. However, the group continues to offer special prayers for those who ask, both on a regular basis in our own homes between 2.00 and 3.00 on the 2nd Monday, and also on request for particular needs. If you were unable to attend the monthly meetings, but would like to be a member of the continuing group please see Phyllis, who co-ordinates the phoning round for special prayers. If you have a special request for prayer also speak to Phyllis. The people on our list greatly appreciate your prayers.  Please take time to pray for the following people during the week, according to their needs.

Who’s Job?

This is a story about four people named Everybody, Somebody, Anybody and Nobody.  There was an important job to be done, and Everybody was sure that Somebody would do it.  Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did.  Somebody got angry about that because it was Everybody’s job.  Everybody thought Anybody could do it, but Nobody realised that Everybody wouldn’t do it.  It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody, when Nobody did what Anybody could have done.  Jill Greenstreet found this on a tea towel in a bakery in Somerset.
