There is a group of Christians from the different churches which meets together to pray for the town and people of Felixstowe and they are inviting everyone to drop in and join them in prayer at the “River of Life” coffee-shop on Hamilton Road on Monday, 9th November for as long as you want between 10 and 11.30am. “Town Pastors” ... are Christian volunteers trained in first-aid and safety who patrol the town centre and potential problem areas. They interact with the people who are out there late at night giving assistance to get people home safely and to defuse potential problems. They are well trained and work closely with the police and the local council, supported by a dedicated prayer-team. They have had considerable success in reducing crime in Woodbridge. With the support of Churches Together a similar team of Town Pastors for Felixstowe is proposed and hopefully will be running by next summer. There will be meetings coming up in the various churches around town where we will be able to more about this venture and how we can support it with prayer and perhaps practical action. The Parish Nursing Team currently based in Maidstone Road Baptist Church has been very successful and won a national “Faithworks” award in 2009. They are hoping to expand their services and at the end of October will launch “Hospital to Home, a team of twelve trained volunteers who will assist elderly people who live alone when they are discharged from hospital to go home to Felixstowe and need help.
