We were delighted to rejoice with Ocholofu and Francesca at the birth of their second child on 27th February 2024.
In a short naming ceremony today, the family introduced us to their new baby boy as Ocholofu announced each name and explained the meaning behind it.
He has been named Tubocho, meaning "draw near to God", after the verse "Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you" (James 4:8).
We give all praise and thanks to the Lord for the safe arrival of Tubocho and pray that he may early come to know the Lord as his personal Saviour.

It is with sadness we learn that Ravenstone Nursing Home is shortly to close. Witton Chapel has had a long association with the care home holding
regular monthly services for the residents for the last 20 years. Apart from the last 18 months with the Covid restrictions preventing services from
being held, it has only been on rare occasions that a monthly service has been missed. We very much hope the residents settle into new homes as soon as
possible and wish all the staff the very best as they cope with this difficult transition for both the residents and their own futures.
Local news report here.
After a long delay due to Covid-19 restrictions, we have been able to schedule our planned baptismal service.
At the evening service of Sunday September 19th, God willing, we are holding a baptismal service when three baptismal candidates will be making a public profession of their faith in the Lord Jesus Christ as they are baptised by immersion in obedience to our Lord's command.

As of 25th July, we are pleased to announce that we are fully open again and there is no need to book a seat to attend.
Note that although social distancing measures and restrictions on numbers attending indoors have been removed and we are now allowed to sing, we are conscious that some wanting to attend may be concerned about the health implications. With that in mind, we have removed the social distancing measures but to give re-assurance to those attending we are allocating an empty chair between family groups and at present we are asking everyone who wants to sing up as normal to wear face masks or visors and others to sing with subdued voices.
