PACT NEWS – October update - some November news below...
Autumn Lecture – Friday 19th October with Mission Aviation Fellowship
PACT are proud to present another great speaker for the autumn lecture – Keith Varney from Mission Aviation Fellowship (MAF). MAF uses planes to transform the lives of the world’s most isolated people in need.
Serving in more than 25 countries their planes bring hope, help and healing to thousands of isolated communities. They deliver practical help, share God’s word and help to heal the sick. They use over 130 light aircraft to deliver passengers and cargo in partnership with thousands of organisations.
This promises to be another fascinating evening broadening our horizons to what God is doing all over the world and how we can partner with them.
PACT NEWS – November update
Friday coffee mornings are still going strong - from 10am in the United Reformed Church every Friday with a hive of activity amongst the stalls and refreshments.
Week of Prayer for Christian Unity – an advance date for the diary – 20-25 January 2019 with the theme of ‘Only Justice’ which is about demonstrating the kingdom justice that comes about when we listen to God’s heart for the people and situations around us, rather than using our own judgements. It will be a great opportunity to spend some time in the bible together and also get to know more faces from the Petworth area churches.
The Petworth Foodbank continues with about two/three calls a week – it is a privilege to be able to provide a practical helping hand to those in need. A big thank you to John Riddell who has steered the operation for the last 5 years – he’s now stepping down and the trusty team of volunteers will continue to support the recipients of food parcels. An enormous thank you to you all!

WEEKLY PARISH PRAYER - AT PLAISTOW CHURCH EVERY SATURDAY MORNING
Each Saturday morning at Holy Trinity Church in Plaistow we gather for half an hour of prayer, beginning at 8.30 am and finishing as the clock strikes nine o'clock. Everybody is welcome - whether you have something specific to pray for or not. You can voice your prayer openly or keep it private or simply affirm the prayers of others. It's not a service as such - there are no processions, rituals, hymns or music. We just sit around the big table and pray.
Friday coffee mornings are still going strong - from 10am in the United Reformed Church in Petworth every Friday.
Week of Prayer for Christian Unity – That All May Be Free looks to be an encouraging and inspiring time for those seeking to go deeper with God and with each other.
The Petworth Foodbank continues with about two calls a week – it is a privilege to be able to provide a practical helping hand to those in need. Thank you to all volunteers who are working with the individuals affected and all those behind the scenes managing the food store.
