Stratford-upon-Avon Street Pastors Autumn Newsletter 2015 Coordinators News this year. I have lived in Stratford-upon-Avon for over 35 years. Autumn is a beautiful time as the trees change into some spectacular colours, God’s creation is truly amazing. Although I trained as a florist I have always worked with people in the care sector. I had a lifelong dream to become a nurse and finally fulfilled this dream when my children left home. As the children and students begin their studies once again we can pray that they enjoy their work and cope with the challenges they have to undertake. Once I heard about Street Pastors and the work they do I knew this would give me the opportunity to use my nurturing nature to give something back to the town and community. It was enjoyable to be part of the welcome at the Methodist Church to over 140 students from 28 nationalities who are studying at Stratford College. Quotes and Stories Spoke to a couple of guys, one who was grateful for the time we listened and helped him when he wanted to commit suicide. Prayer Jeremiah 29:7 “Seek the peace and prosperity of the city (town) where you live. Pray to the Lord for it, because if it prospers, you too will prosper”. Just to remind you of our Churches Together Prayer/4th Birthday Celebration on Friday November 20th 7-9pm at the Welcome Hall (next to the Baptist Church). Please bring friends and family along.
