14th, Mar. ‘Mothering Sunday’

Hello Friends,


OPEN-HOUSE meets on Sunday, 14th March from 2 pm - 4 pm, at Emmanuel Church Centre, 43 Forest Road, and your hosts will be Steve Moses with Judith Hilton. OPEN-HOUSE is especially for overseas visitors to L’boro – so bring a friend with you.

Sunday, 14th March, is ‘Mothering Sunday’ (not ‘Mothers Day’!), when we think especially of our mothers, and brighten their day with flowers or a gift – why not telephone your Mum.

Have you accessed the OPEN-HOUSE website at http://www.openhouselboro.blogspot.com/. You will find lots of pictures, links and news to keep you informed. I recommend the links to ‘SOON’ and ‘Project Britain’. People from around the world visit our website!

May you all know God’s blessing,
Clive
