A PRAYER FOR THE TSUNAMI VICTIMS:From Dolly Purnell, Minister Kingswells Parish Church (Posted 3.1.2005) Almighty God Our ears and our eyes have heard and seen the destruction brought to us on our television screens through radio broadcast and the internet from first hand accounts of the chance meeting and news from family and friends We confess that in the midst of it all we feel helpless and realise once again how precious yet how fragile and fleeting earthy life is And
so Lord God ; our heavenly Father We pray for that which has been lost For
so many lives We pray for help Today we thank you for the aid agencies tirelessly and consistently working among the world's poorest people. And
especially now for the efficiency of the disasters
emergency committee co-ordinating supplies,
distribution, medical help and assessing need. We pray for the essence of life Lord God nurture the human spirit
of each victim and survivor . These things we ask in the precious name of Jesus Christ The one who is the same Yesterday today and forever Amen

thought recently about who will be most affected by
the WPR in our area? I did, after reading comments
in the P&J last month. They pictured the

machines in the field, just behind the badger set
and the vixen's earth on my land. Read

ADVICE TO KINGSWELLS RESIDENTS
REGARDING LOCAL CRIME and 'QUALITY OF LIFE'
ISSUES: As with all residential areas
within Aberdeen City, Kingswells suffers from
occasional incidents of vandalism, youth disorder,
underage drinking and behaviour which impacts on
the quality of life of residents. A small number of
the growing youth population within Kingswells will
from time to time, become involved in such
behaviour. While the current rate of incidents
remains comparatively very low, it is important
that residents, the police, other agencies and
community based organisations play their part in
preventing, reducing and responding to incidents
effectively and fairly. Read
More (Posted 26.8.2004) If you have any queries or concerns, and wish to speak to your local Neighbourhood Officer, please do not hesitate to contact Constable Kinghan on telephone number 0845 600 5 700. |
