London Councils Christian Network

Doreen setting up

On the 25th of April a joint Christian groups had a celebration.

There are 33 borough authorities in London; as well as The Greater London Authority and Parliament.

Of those 33, between 8 and 10 groups were represented. We also had Remi came. She used to work for Tower Hamlets, and now works for the Courts of Justice.

The vision we wanted to express was to see all the London Boroughs Christian groups to feel a sense of togetherness and support.

We (Tower Hamlets Christian Prayer Group) hosted the evening. 

Trevor and Ros from Transform Work UK came along. Trevor lead worship.

Lillian gave a rousing preach, encouraging us to trust God in seeing this through.

We then broke down into groups to discuss possible challenges or pitfalls and to see what God was saying to us in how we would play our part. 

We then had a feed back session of what we discussed. Some of of the points that came out where very good. This made us feel the start was being built on a firm foundation. 

Lillian called us to much decant prayer after we had asked for volunteers to fulfill the various roles needed. 

Farewell to Evelyn

Today we gave a fond farewell to our lovely sister Evelyn. She had been with us for just two years. She told us today that it was Flora who first asked her to come along.

Many people shared their memories of her and how God had used her to bless the group. We thank God for Evelyn. She has such a serving heart. She always wanted to get involved and be a help to anyone who was need of help. She said in response she did not know they were for her and felt quite overwhelmed.

Various words of encouragement were given to her.

Evelyn was especially thrilled that Lizz Hameed and Kal came along from Albert Jacob House.

She will be sadly missed.
