We meet every Sunday to worship God and to share His word. We continure to feel presence of the Lord each week and are thankful that we are able to continue to be able to offer support both members and the wider community. Faith Fellowship Church continues to believe in the power of prayer. Throughout our service's we find ourselves praying for others, bringing their troubles to Father God. Our prayerline ministry is open to callers from all over the United Kingdom, and we are thankful to God that we see improved results. The need for hospital and home visits is strong. So much so, that my wife and I, who used to visit together, are now having to divide the visits between us. During the year we were advised of rememdial works that were requried to our current Church building. It has been a challenging time for us all, and we have been thankful for the support of a local church which allows us to use their building and facilities while we await God's guidance on what the next steps in our story will be. We firmly believe that this shows the continued support and generosity of the people of Bangor, Northern Ireland - it is much appreciated. We continue to have a link with Faith Gospel Church in Brampton, Ontario, Canada which supports our works through regularly giving to the church. At their request, their gifts are used to support our outreach and visiting costs. **SIGNED:** _______________________ **DATE:** _____________________ Mr. D.
