WiFi login details
A while ago, our WiFi was upgraded by the circuit, opening up all sorts of possibilities for our activities and worship.
Sadly, our wifi still has issues and is not connecting to the internet, despite strenuous efforts by our team at Larkfield. We are currently still waiting for the circuit to resolve the issue.
Here's a reminder of the login details:
For church members and groups:
Username: Church
Password: Psalm100:4MSG

Foodbank
Some of you have asked how to donate to the foodbank at Maidstone Homeless Care's day centre, which is seeing unprecedented demand in these times when so many people's income has been affected by the virus. Naomi is currently visiting the day centre once or twice a week, so if you have food you'd like to donate, you can drop it off at the manse (45 Garner Drive) on your 'daily exercise,' or let her know if you'd like it collected from your doorstep, or contact Zofia (the day centre manager) to arrange a time when you can drop it off yourself at the centre in Knightrider Street. manager@homelesscare.org.uk
Oasis UK (founded by Rev. Steve Chalke) have set up a Friendship Line. If you are feeling isolated, worried, or simply could use a chat call them on 020 7921 4272. Calls are charged at the standard rate but are completely free over the internet!

Inspirational quotes:
“Out of all the relationships and friendships we have on this earth. There is one that trumps them all and that’s our friendship with God.”
Melissa Tumino
“Never forget that God is your friend. And like all friends He longs to hear what’s been happening in your life...”
Nicholas Sparks
“If God had a refrigerator, your picture would be on it. If He had a wallet, your photo would be in it. He sends you flowers every spring and a sunrise every morning. Face it, friend, He is crazy about you!”
Max Lucado
“All shall be well, all shall be well, and All Manner of Things Shall be Well.”
Mother Julian of Norwich
