Bitternes Afloat: Thank you to all those who prayed for the Bitternes Afloat youth Sailing Cruise this year.  This year we managed to return to pre-pandemic numbers of young people attending and although it was a very windy week (which led to some tired skippers) we saw many answers to prayer.  If you would like to continue to support us in prayer then please pray for our summer cruise which will run from the 10th - 14th of July and is primarily for the benefit of our young leaders.
