HOMECALL OF MAURICE POPE

Christmas and the New Year was overshadowed by the loss of Maurice, Dave’s brother, who passed away peacefully at the Care Home on 20th December 2024. Maurice’s illness was diagnosed exactly 12 months ago, and the journey for him, close friends and family has been tough, but he is now free from all discomfort and promoted to a far better place.

Dave writes: ‘I have been overwhelmed by the expressions of love and support as we walk through the Valley of the Shadow. Although expected outside of miraculous intervention, Maurice’s death was still a shock as it all happened so quickly, but messages, letters and cards have eclipsed the normal Christmas mail and have brought re-assurance of love and support.  Thank you to everyone who has taken time to be in touch. We have sensed God’s presence and peace even in this season of sadness.’

Donations in lieu of flowers and attendance are invited for the support of Flame’s Playground Projects and the ‘Maurice Project’ – the latter enabling disadvantaged members of the community in Dudley to be ‘up-skilled’ in car engineering and motor mechanics, using one of Maurice’s prize possessions to benefit others. The Playground Project is well known to Flame partners and we are currently researching the next construction for 2025.

Dave, Brian and members of the wider Pope family would value your prayers at this time. Although a premature event in many respects, they are helped and comforted by the certainty of knowing that Maurice is in his Eternal Home. 


CHAPLAINCY MINISTRY

Chaplaincy Meeting PicTimes change, and Heads of Schools and Academies come and go – as do the CEO’s of Academy Trusts. So, we are in the process of realigning and reassessing our Chaplaincy Ministry support to make sure that we continue to provide spiritual input where most needed. Please pray for us as we plan for all of the opportunities and challenges ahead.

ROMANIA PLAYGROUND PROJECTS

Flame Trust, in conjunction with our partner Habitat for Humanity, has now successfully completed four playground projects in Romania, meeting the needs of many children and their communities. Dave Pope comments: The projects have enriched the lives of children and parents alike, and have made a profound statement about why we do what we do.

GK 5TIME OUT - SEPTEMBER 2024

Highgate House proved to be a wonderful venue for our Flame Family Autumn Conference. The weather was amazing, and there was plenty of time to explore the delights of Northamptonshire and indeed the Highgate Estate, which was ideal for rest and relaxation.
