CHURCHES TOGETHER LEWES AREA: St. Anne’s is part of the C.T.L.A. Prayer Chain where all linked churches pray for a specific church each month (St. Anne’s will be in April). For December we are praying for King’s Church: the first week’s prayer is to Thank God for the opportunities to share the good news of Jesus at Christmas. Please pray for those who come to our Family Craft and Carols event (Sat 13th) and our Carol Service (Sun 21st) for hearts to be open to Jesus. The full month’s list of Prayers can be obtained from Gretel Scott at: gretelscott@gretelscott.plus.com.
