ST PAUL’S POST St Paul’s Province Weekly Newsletter: 165 9 March 2020

Our birthday girl this week is:

Eithne Donoghue 9 March

Pat and I went to Women’s International Day at the Congregational

Church where we had a beautiful prayer service. This year the country chosen was Zimbabwe and

the theme was ‘Take up your mat and walk’. As we all know, Zimbabwe has been in turmoil for

many years and is now hoping for a better future.

(Jesu tawa pano). Jesus we are here.

MAKING A DIFFERENCE

IN THE LIVES OF OTHERS

Prayer Updates: helping us to pray more effectively.

Please pray for Sheila McNally’s brother, John McNally (the singer), who is currently unwell.

Last week Maria (Somers) saw the oncologist about the results of recent scans. The scans

were a follow up to surgery and radiotherapy last year to deal with a brain tumour. The results

revealed that there is no sign of the tumour's return. We are both glad and relieved to hear

this news and would like to take the opportunity to express our wholehearted thanks to all the

sisters for their prayers and good wishes for Maria and our family. She will have another scan

in three months time and the hope is that with each scan the news will get better and better.

Blessed Dominic and Elizabeth Prout have been particular 'friends' during this challenging time.

A thousand thanks,

Paschal
