  • Local MP Worships at Tottenham
    Local MP worships at Tottenham n 23 June, Tottenham Church held a special recognition service in which they paid tribute to members of the Ochurch and the community. Among the dignitaries present were representatives from the local fire and police services and a number of community leaders. David Lammy, local MP, paid tribute to the church and charged everyone to continue the good work being done. He commented on the warmth of the church and recognised its value as a good place for young people to learn right from wrong. He mentioned five things necessary to build any successful family or church: education, employment, parenting, aspiration and community. He presented awards and posed for photos with those who received them. In his sermon, Pastor Perry encouraged the church to say ‘thank you’ to all the unseen heroes that are a part of our lives, but also pointed out that, although we may not always be thanked here on Earth, there is a reward for us in Heaven. All of this, combined with parading Pathfinders and good music, made the day a great success. COMMUNICATION TEAM 2 editorial 3 Fancy being published? ‘Murray, Murray, Murray . .’.
