Please pray for our new CMS mission partners Andy and Kati Walsh as they fly out to Brazil with their daughter Eva: Florianopolis, where they will be working in the south, has many favelas (slums), which are controlled by drugs and gangs and house much of the city’s population. Brazil is also home to some of the world’s most dangerous prisons. It is to these subcultures and “hidden voices”, where the Church struggles to be, that they feel called by God.
Occasional services - Weddings Funerals and Baptisms may now take place in Church. Please telephone the *Church office* for further information.
