Dear Friends,
Wasn’t last Sunday amazing? I just wanted to say a big thank you to everyone who worked so hard to make last Sunday such a special day (especially to Jane and Mic). Please pray for those newly baptised: Lydia, Sophie, Jordan, Julie, David, Lucas, Claire, Mic, Bryan and Danielle. Pray for peace, grace and courage and an even closer walk with Jesus.

God bless,
Andrew

Requests for prayer: Did you know that St Peter's has a dedicated prayer team who are delighted to pray for you through the week. If you have a request for prayer, let Dorothy Houghton or Pat Milazzo know, or contact Andrew (0115 921 4522 / rev_buchanan@hotmail.com). Remember as well that we have a team who will pray with you after the Sunday service.
Children's Activities: There are organised children’s activities provided by St Peter’s and Ruddington Baptist Churches most Sundays (term time only) from 11:00 - 11:45am in St Peter’s Rooms where the Baptist Church meet. Generally the age group catered for is KS1, KS2 and KS3. Younger children would need a parent with them. We also have a creche for our youngest children.
Your News Snippets Still Wanted: For example, any challenges that have been overcome or what Christian resources you have found helpful. Or indeed, any other faith or church-related news. So, if you have something you would like to share, it doesn’t have to be “special”, send your contribution to Nikki Roe at ruddoffice@gmail.com – suggested length about 250 words maximum.
