The Persecuted Church Nigeria: pray for the Ninte Christian community in Kaduna State, central Nigeria. They are under heavy attack from Muslim Fulani herdsmen. An Open Doors contact reports, "Believers in Ninte are now running for their lives following an early morning attack, which led to the burning of all the churches and houses in the community. "Children, men and women have been seen running, heading towards nearby communities for safety. The church leaders in Kafanchan, in Jemaa local government, have set aside a temporary place to settle the displaced people arriving into the town."
Ourselves and the Nation Father, we give to you our coming referendum and also the Americans as they attempt to elect a new president. Give us all the wisdom to choice wisely.
The World make Peace a pass-word to us all especially in those countries where conflict seems to be the watch-word.
Prayer of the Week
Come all people, let us adore God in three persons: the Father in the Son, with the Holy Spirit. For the Father from everlasting begets the Word, and the Holy Spirit is in the Father, glorified with the Son, a single power, a single essence, a single Godhead. Come, let us adore. Amen.

NOTICES
CHRISTIANS IN SCIENCE the next meeting will be at 7.30pm this Thursday, 16th June when the astrophysicist Dr Rodney Holder will present: “Big Bang, Big God: A Universe Designed for Life?”
DIAMOND JUBILEE PREPARATIONS we hope to plant up the main memorial rose-bed, and if possible the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee rose-bed, with crocuses for next spring (and which we hope will continue to flower for some years to come.) It’s estimated that well over 1000 bulbs will need to be bought for planting in the autumn and while a generous offer has been made to underwrite the cost, donations – gift aided if you’re a taxpayer (please use one of the church’s gift-aid envelopes and mark it “Crocus appeal”) – will be gratefully received.

DIAMOND JUBILEE COOK-BOOK when sorting out books donated for the Christmas Market I came across a St Andrew's Cook Book. I thought it would be a great idea to compile a new one to celebrate our Diamond Jubilee. So - please would you sort out a special or favourite recipe and give it to me, with a picture if possible? I am very willing to come round and take a photo and even test taste your recipe if you like! Many thanks. Gill Moore
