Again we have so much to thank God for all that has happened during the past year.
1. More new members have joined the group this year so we have over 90 members.
2. The 12 members of Outlook Team have continued to contact more people in the community such as bereavement visits, taking flowers and cards to the sick. At Christmas time over 20 people were given a plant or groceries.
3. Thank you to those people who support the group by prayer and by giving lifts especially when we have lunches and go on coach trips. The team are very grateful for your help.
4. This year we have supported Cancer Research, World Vision, Christian Aid, Outlook Trust and purchased a new water boiler for the Church hall.
5. It's a privilege to be able to serve members of the Outlook group and reach out to other people in the community.
God has again blessed this group in so many ways during 2007.

God has certainly blessed this group in so many ways during 2006.

People at home in the day have a great outlook on life…lots of wisdom and experience, plenty of memories and loads of knowledge.
Once a month on a Tuesday, Outlook seeks to bring these people together to enrich one another, enjoy the company and discover new things.
A team of up to 20 members of St. Barts, work, study and pray together to produce the programme, each one keeping in touch with some of the 100 or so other members of Outlook. We are trying to develop an effective pastoral care network for the group which we hope will teach us lessons for wider use.
Meals, speakers, outings, worship and prayer, competitions, as well as home visits and celebrations make up the content of our get-togethers.
For the quarterly lunches we are sometimes short of transport, please offer if you could be free.
Our very popular Strawberry Tea in June now extends to two sessions, perhaps you would like to be involved in the ministry by providing home-made cakes for one or both of these great occasions, please?
Prayer for the group and its members is vital as we seek to serve and share the gospel with these people.
