Prayer Bulletin
Death of Cyril Crook
Sadly, Cyril, who has faithfully attended worship at Loughton for many years, died very suddenly on 8 November in Milton Keynes Hospital. Our prayers go out to his son David and his family at this sad time. A service of thanksgiving for Cyril's life will be held at the Church on Wednesday 26 November at 1.30pm, and I am sure that the family would welcome all who knew Cyril to attend. This will be followed by a short service of committal at New Bradwell Cemetery at 3.00pm.
Deacons’ Away Day
Deacons are meeting for a half-day of prayer and reflection on the life and future direction of the Church next Saturday, 22 November. Please pray for God's leading and guidance.
