On the back page of 1 May War Cry there was a feature called ‘One Man and His Work: Scenes from the life of Lieutenant Stuart Day, commanding officer at Newport Central’, consisting of five photographs with the following captions:

• The lieutenant prays with a 92-year-old woman in her home.
• Collecting bread from a local supermarket to be distributed to needy homes.
• The lieutenant and his wife conduct a Sunday morning meeting.
• The lieutenant in his office, interviewing two women who have requested help.
• Selling the War Cry in a public house.

Prayer

• Pray for the corps in Newport and its witness to the city. Thank God for all those who find succour through the provision of the café and charity shop.
• Pray also for the work of the Homeless Services Unit and its outreach work in the city centre
