Are you someone who likes to read biographies of Christians or stories of missions? The Eternal Wall of Answered Prayer is  to be built in 2026-7 in Coleshill near Birmingham and will be seen by 500,000 cars passing by every week.  See https://www.eternalwall.org.uk/ to find out more.

So far the Eternal Wall team has gathered 100,000 answered prayers. Their target is 250,000 before the opening day. They are looking for people who find published stories of answered prayers in books (as well as answered prayers that we experience ourselves of course.) If you are able to help fulfil this vision by recording answers to prayers you find in books that you read, please text or message Sue Relf – 07810702589 who will explain how to send them in.

We can’t wait to see you on Wednesday 13th of August, at St Wilfrid’s Church Hall in Willingdon for some scrumptious cream teas!

Entry is free, a traditional Cream Tea will be available for £5, and a range of cakes for £2.50. There will also be a raffle, tombola, and childrens crafts.
Parking at the church itself is limited, so please consider walking, sharing lifts or taking the bus if you are able.

We look forward to seeing you there!
