Christ Church Moreton Hall

It is with great sadness that we report the news that one of our members, Keziah Smit was tragically killed on Wednesday 9th June in a car accident. She was travelling on the A14 on her way to help lead our Delta youth club at the time.

Kez was engaged to another Delta leader Alex Theobald, and they were due to be married in the autumn.

Please hold Kez's family and Alex in your prayers at this time.

The funeral will be on Monday 21st June at 2pm at Christ Church Moreton Hall.
Instead of flowers, please make donations to the Newmarket and District Youth for Christ, where Keziah worked and touched the lives of so many youth.
It was Keziah's wish that it would not be a dull funeral, and her family feel that those attending, if they want, should dress in bright colourful clothes and wear odd socks for her send off. The colour is to match Keziah's bright colourful personality, and the socks are because Keziah liked to wear odd socks every day!

We will keep this page up to date with latest information, or check the Facebook group.

General Election
There will provisionally be a "hustings meeting" at Christ Church at 7.30pm Friday 30th April to which all our local candidates will be invited.
This is being organized through Churches Together so that Christians have the opportunity to put questions of a moral or more faith related nature to the candidates rather than the ones they answer all the time (Obviously there's no absolutely clear distinction and the meeting is open to all).
