John Purchase
It is with the utmost sadness that we have to announce the death of our lifelong Organist, Church member and above all, dearest friend, John Purchase. John passed away on Wednesday morning (03/08/22) at City Hospital, Birmingham. He would have celebrated his 80th Birthday at the end of this month.
Further details of funeral arrangements etc. will be announced in due course. In the meantime our thoughts and prayers are with Lynn, John's wife and all the members of his family.
This photo of John and Lynn was taken at a meeting of the Wednesday Welcome Group which they supported with great enthusiasm and enjoyment.

The Christianity.org.uk website
Following receipt of an email that Nick Stanyon, the West Midlands URC Synod Evangalist, has sent to all churches in the Synod (21/04/20) our Minister has requested that this link should be added to the website -
christianity.org.uk/
Christianity.org.uk run by the Christian Enquiry Agency, is now an independent agency, but has long been part of Churches Together In England.  Visitors to the site can read a number of well written articles or watch short video that may answer their questions, or at least peak their interest.  Currently one lead article is about the coronavirus, and another about ‘what is a Christian?’  There are many more. It’s worth a browse for yourself.  Visitors can then ask questions, request a free copy of Luke’s Gospel, or find a church from the site.

Safeguarding
South Aston Church is committed to following Government Legislation and the United Reformed Church's 'Policy & Good Practice Guidelines' on safeguarding people of all ages. We work to a formal Safeguarding Policy and it can be seen on request.

​A Prayer for Aston
​
O God, Creator of all things, thank you for Aston.
Thank you for our homes, our people, our shops, our schools, our amenities, our factories, our offices.
May this always be a place of peace and Godliness.
Keep evil and violence from our homes and streets.
Bring relief to those who suffer loneliness, ill health, rejection or any other kind of distress.
Prosper everything that promotes neighbourliness, friendship and goodwill.
Watch over all who live and work here.
Strengthen family life and bring blessings on young and old alike.
We pray this through Jesus Christ.
Amen.
