Update from Priya Akhurst - May - June 2009

I've spent the last couple of months working steadily at Hospice, with a short trip to the Hospice in Mbarara (about 4 hours SW) at the start of June. It's been great but sadly, on Friday I said goodbye to people at Hospice: I am not leaving Africa until 24th July but am spending my last 5 weeks travelling.

The last 5 months have flown by ... such a blessing considering how lost and alone I felt on first arriving! People here keep asking if I will come back; I really really hope so!

In terms of prayer requests, these are the things for my last month:

1. My family are arriving tomorrow (I am so excited!!!): that they will have a safe journey and will not find it too much of a culture shock being here!

2. For safe travels - we are driving to the far south-west of Uganda (or rather, I am driving) then going to Kenya. Please pray for safety and that the time will be enjoyable (despite the bad roads we aregoing to be on!)

3. That I will be ready to leave on 24th July; at the moment I don't want to come home!

God has been so good to me and I remember every day how blessed I am. Thank you so much for all your support over the last 5 months and I look forwards to seeing you in August!

The Theme of My Praise - Easter Prayer from 2nd-5th April

2nd April, 2012

Take an hour or two out to meditate on Jesus, His emotions leading up to the cross and praise Him for who He is between 8am and 6pm from Monday 2nd - Thursday 5th April at PBC. There will be readings and prompts for your thoughts and prayers, leading to the cross itself and Psalm 22. Jesus is the theme of our praise. Come and worship Him.

Easter Sunday - Baptisms and The Miracle Maker

2nd April, 2012

Easter week at PBC has some thought provoking and interesting opportunities for worship and glorifying our living God. There's Good Friday service at 10am, followed by the Walk of Witness at 11am to the Village Green for the HOPE Pembury Churches Together annual service on the green. Hot cross buns and refreshments will be served at the Hanes' home after the service finishes. And on Easter Sunday, there's three baptisms taking place in the morning at 10am followed by a family opportunity at 5pm to enjoy a cinematic experience with popcorn, icecream and fizzy pop whilst watching The Miracle Maker.
