FOOTSTEPS Toddler Group – journeying to Jesus St Martin’s Church has started a Christian Baby and Toddler group.  It will run on the first and third Mondays of the month, from 10 a.m. – midday in Exning Community Church Hall.  The next session will be on Monday 17th February.  Sarah Price exningfootsteps@gmail.com

One of the most powerful ways to pray for children is to use scripture.  Because the Bible is the living word of God, you can Pray His Word back to him. Pray for chidren by name (if known) asking that they will grow: in wisdom (the mind); in stature (physically); in favour with God (spiritually) and in favour with man (socially). 'Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man' Luke 2:52  Please continue to pray for Footsteps.  Thanks, Sarah
