FEBRUARY 2023
Dear all,
Well, at last some sunshine - it makes you feel so much better doesn't it. You also, know Spring is coming, when the daffodils are out on the corner of Spring Road. It reminds us of new beginnings, new opportunities and hope for the future. That old song 'Count your blessings while you may' says it all - today is the present - a gift from God - Allelujah!
God bless, Lynda
Church survey
two years ago the stewards asked for your help with the future running of the Church. So much has changed since Covid and we would appreciate your views once again. This will be sent by e-mail and a hard copy for those without a computer. You know it is your Church and we want to make sure it is run as you wish. Thank you.
A home safety visit
through Bedfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. You may be interested in the above service which Maureen has recently used and was very impressed by. It involves a home visit checking the smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors and giving advice on safety issues in case of fire in the home. This is a totally FREE service which will replace or provide smoke alarms as needed. The contact telephone no. is 01234 845000, so do contact them if you have not already done so and make your home safe.
Eco Church
Kempston West Church is part of the North Beds Eco Church. Our certificate has been awarded, when it is printed we will display it in the Church. Thanks to those who have taken the project on board. You will have noticed that, depending on the weather, the lights are switched off for Sunday Service. If you have a problem seeing on a Sunday please let the Stewards know. A couple of tips for ‘Surviving the cost of living’…. remember to turn your appliances off when not in use …adjust your thermostat on milder days …when you are sitting put your feet up if you can as it’s coldest nearest the ground. Take care, Jean
