REIGNING who receive God's abundant provision of grace and of
the gift of righteousness reign in life’.
IN LIFE The secret to reigning in life, is receiving grace and
the free gift of righteousness. It’s not about what we
do, it’s about what we receive. It’s about grace.
Christians can easily drift into thinking they are

YOUNG ADULTS
for more information contact This month, the Young Adults group have
enjoyed meeting together outdoors at a

variety of locations, to share food, chat,
worship and continue our bible study. We
have enjoyed welcoming back Kat, Harry,
Alicia and Alex from uni too. The
transition from home to uni is an exciting
but also challenging time, and so being able
to gather these young people together to
share experiences is invaluable. Being able
to worship and pray together for each other
and for those we hope to see come to know
Jesus reminds us that we are not alone, and
that we can bring God into every area of our
lives, wherever we might be. Please
continue to uphold them all in prayer as
they make preparations for the changes to
come.
We give thanks to our Lord for His favour and provision. Not only has the
Treasures team been blessed with two new recruits – (welcome Esther
Forbes and Jane Jones), but in addition to securing funds needed for
our year plan – we have secured even more besides! (Thank you Sharon
for all your hard work in fund raising). It is truly amazing to be blessed so
richly enabling us to continue in our work with the elderly of our
community.

With the lifting of restrictions delayed until July, the Treasures team decided that our
Treasures folks needed a little bit of encouragement. To help lift everyone’s spirits,
another Random Act of Kindness was made at the end of June. This time it was a
small bar of handmade honey, lavender and beeswax soap. Not only do they smell
divine, honey and beeswax are known for their antibacterial properties – and we all
need to keep washing our hands to keep COVID at bay!
Thank you everyone who helped to make personal deliveries to our members.

STOP PRESS - It’s National Afternoon Tea week
August 9-15th
Treasures members and volunteers have not been able to get
together since the last coffee morning in February 2020 and
even now after vaccinations, members remain a vulnerable group.
Current restrictions allow for up to 30 people to gather together
outside. The extra funding recently awarded enables us to finally
bring our members together safely in an outdoor event this
coming August. Plans are still being formulated but in principle
we intend to hold several afternoon teas for groups of our Treasures folks across four consecutive days in a garden,
during National Afternoon Tea week, within the government restrictions.
This is significantly more work for the volunteer team, but the safety and wellbeing of our members is paramount. We
would appreciate extra help and if you are willing to lend us a hand on one (or more) of the four event days (Aug10-
13th), it will be very much appreciated.
