Good News!
The most exciting news in this report is the re-launch of the group at Crossly Heath on Friday 26th Feb. We have been given the use of a maths room and nine young people attended the first meeting. This is fruit of lots of work and prayer and we thank the maths teacher, students and volunteers, but most of all Thank God!
