He turned around in the crowd and asked, “Who touched my clothes?” 31 “You see the people crowding against you,” his disciples answered, “and yet you can ask, ‘Who touched me?’ ” 32 But Jesus kept looking around to see who had done it. 33 Then the woman, knowing what had happened to her, came and fell at his feet and, trembling with fear, told him the whole truth. 34 He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be freed from your suffering.” Tea/Coffee will be served after the morning service to which everyone is warmly invited. 6pm Evening worship – led by Rev John Murdo Nicolson Reading: Judges 16: 23-31 Praise: Psalm 130:1-8 Hymns 196, 457, 286 The Week Ahead Tues 24th April 7.30pm Society for Distributing Hebrew Scriptures, church hall.
