22nd April - 28th April 2024:
Week of Prayer for Young People
Elizabeth Alden, one of our pioneers amongst young adults in Frome, is working with ‘Movement’ to host a week of prayer for young people. It is a significant time to be praying for young people across our diocese, especially with exams coming up. The website wearemovement.net/pray gives more details, and for each day of the week there are helpful resources posted based around different daily themes. Everything starts in prayer, and prayer can change things, so please do join in committing to taking up a slot and to letting others know about it.

Thank you to all those of you who took the time to complete the "have your say" form last Sunday (14th), and a particular thank you to Kevin and Janet for leading us through it so skilfully. Your responses have been very helpful as we draw up the profile document: they demonstrate what a caring and outward looking congregation we have at St John's.
Please look at the comprehensive overview of the work of the Parish Profile Team in the April edition of Inspire., and do please continue to pray for those caring for our parish at this time, our visiting priests, the Profile Group, and our next vicar.
