16th Feb 2023 - Email from Leader of Cranfield CSSM team 

​

​

I’m sending you an email on behalf of the leadership of Cranfield CSSM and I hope this finds you well.  

We are starting to make preparations for Cranfield CSSM 2023 and would like to contact you with appreciation for all of your support in the past and seeking your support for the future.  

Each summer hundreds of children hear the Good News of Jesus Christ, being built up and encouraged by the teaching of God’s Word and the forming of strong relationships with leaders who seek to exalt Christ at every turn.  

Cranfield CSSM is indebted to all local congregations for their partnership in our mission in so many ways, for which we are extremely grateful. Thank you.  

Going forward, we ask for your support in a number of ways. 

Firstly, by praying for the mission. We are under no illusion that we carry out this mission in our own strength. Therefore, we rely on God in the preparatory stages, during the fortnight, and after the mission is over to provide and work for His glory. We ask that you as a congregation would pray for CSSM over the next number of months. We may plant and water, but God alone gives the growth.  

Secondly, would you announce that registration is open for volunteers to serve God with Cranfield CSSM? The mission will run from Monday 10th to Friday 21st July. Volunteers should be 17 at the time the mission starts. Volunteers can register at serve.suni.co.uk/opportunities/camps-missions. If anyone has any questions, send them our way.  

Thirdly, Cranfield CSSM has been part of the Summer Landscape in the area for decades. We value all insight as to how the mission could reach children more effectively and work to bring glory to God’s name as best as possible. If you would like to provide any suggestions or ways we can further our mission, please do.  

Again, thank you for your support.

​

The Barnabas Fund for Ukraine were using Clonduff Hall as a collection point for items over the last few weeks. Items were generously donated and 2 loads were taken to the Fund's logistics depot at Mallusk on 24th & 25th March for onward transportation to Swindon and then to Poland, Romania and Ukraine. 

Some folk brought items from as far away as Richhill and Newtownhamilton.

A big thank you to all who donated the much needed items.

In the goodness of God the Christian Church has seen off various pandemics in its history, often even flourishing in the face of them. The same God is more than able to glorify his name in doing good to people today. We should all seek him earnestly.
