Welcome To Flame Trust
We are excited to announce the launch of a third playground fundraising project in conjunction with our friends and partners at Habitat for Humanity, and to be constructed at a VALEA SEACA SCHOOL in the town of PASCANI, 7 miles from the city of IASI in Romania. The school doesn’t have any playground or outside facilities – only an empty plot of land, and is located in a very poor and deprived community in a post industrial town with very limited economic opportunities. Read more here about how you can support this project SAD TIMES One of our long term prayer partners passed away just a few weeks ago. Neil Johns and his wife Sylvia were regular attendees at Time Out, so it is with mixed emotion that we report Neil’s ‘promotion to glory’. Please pray for Sylvia and the wider family at this time … and in the past 24 hours we have received some other extremely sad news. Again, long term prayer partners and attendees at Flame events, June and Robin Ive, so consistent in their love, prayer and support, sadly Robin passed away on Sunday 27th August. However in a surprise phone call last evening, we received news that June had been taken ill and died in hospital. For both to pass away within 7 days was a big shock to everyone who knew them, so please pray for the wider family at this time. CHAPLAINCY MINISTRY Gerry Denston continues to head up our support for Chaplaincies in the immediate area, and at the beginning of July, a Conference was organised for all 6th formers to attend.

(Just for your own interest and perhaps curiosity, Himley Road Methodist Church happens to be within 50 yards of the Crooked House Public House that has grabbed the headlines in worldwide news over the past few weeks. It is a building of historic significance but was mysteriously burnt down in very strange circumstances. So if you do get lost … ask for this landmark and you will not be too far away!)

Our Guest Speaker will be Pastor John Price, and there will be an evening Gospel Concert with Chris and Abby Eaton. Full details here, including how to book

Someone once described a visit to the Holy Land as providing the opportunity to appreciate Biblical Truth in technicolour rather than in black and white. Plan to join us in November 2023 for what I know will be ‘The Trip of a Lifetime’. Dave Full details here, including how to book
