A Lifeline You Can Provide Monday March 22 was World Water Day. It brought to our attention the stark reality that 4,000 children under the age of five die every day from preventable water related illnesses. This global crisis affects 2.5 billion people as more children are killed by lack of clean water than the combined effects of malaria, TB and HIV/AIDS.

It has even been suggested that future wars could be water related. Some futurologists

predict we will run out of potable water long before we run out of fuel.

Since water is one of many issues

affecting our global future, it would be prudent for each person to think carefully how they could be better stewards of this God given resource.

We must do all we can to ensure that those without access to clean water get it. This is certainly worth our attention.

Vision We are a

community of people growing in Christ, loving and

serving each other and sharing God�’s love with others.

Mission Seeking to serve

the North Harrow community with the love of God.

Practice An evangelical

church.

Harrow Youth Gospel Choir The Harrow Youth Gospel Choir recently sang at Elmfield Church. Comprised of young people from various schools in Harrow and conducted by the gifted Shereece Storrod, a singer from Black Voices, they demonstrated a depth in talent.

The choir serves as a powerful vehicle for positively engaging young people�’s energy and raising their self esteem.

One wishes that we could hear more of such cases where our young people are engaged in constructive activities rather than the often featured anti social behaviour. Surely, shouldn�’t good news be news as well?

Dear friends,

We were pleased to see all the children who attended this year�’s Holiday Club running under the theme of �“Monsters Stink!�” We thank their parents, for sending them. We hope to see the children again soon, either in the follow-on activities or in our midweek clubs.

We also hope you took time over Easter t o f a m i l i a r i s e yourself with the true meaning of Easter. One shouldn�’t lose s i g h t o f t h e uniqueness of the d e a t h a n d resurrection of Jesus Christ.

So much else being tagged onto the Easter season can blur a correct understanding of this most important event in the Christian calendar.

As we await Christ�’s return, let us humbly r e c e i v e G o d �’s glorious gift of salvation offered to humanity through the Easter events.

Peter Oyugi, Senior Leader, Elmfield Church.
