Geoff Greenaway

Geoff and Althea Greenaway Geoff Greenaway founder member and trustee of Renewal fell asleep at 3.20 this morning and woke immediately in the presence of his saviour the Lord Jesus Christ. Geoff and Althea started the church with Pastor David and Molly in 1972 and held many positions within the church over those years. His eye for detail and his insistence that things were done in a correct manner made him a reliable friend and colleague. Over the last few years he has encouraged our Alcester congregation by making the 60 mile round trip every week enjoying every moment of it. He will be sadly missed by elders, trustees; leaders and congregation but his reward will out weigh our sadness. Our love goes to Althea, his son and daughter, daughter and son in law and his three grand children.

A celebration of his life will be at Church after the funeral on Friday 9th November 12.00pm with refreshments afterwards.

Exciting news

Sunday November 4th Pastor Peter will be showing video clips of Florin. He is a young boy who lost both of his hands through a terrible accident. Florin was climbing an electric pylon when it broke and he was electrocuted. He lost both of his hands. The Children’s department of our Church  called Faithbuilders took Florin to their hearts and began to raise money to help him. We have now sent almost £ 6000 to our prothsetic clinic called Theranova. We have just supplied Florin with two artificial hands. One of them he can operate through a cable mechanism which allows him to pick things up.His mother is so thankful for the love shown to them from Renewal.
