Letter from Rev Michael – ref – Defibrillator
Dear People of God,
I write to you today with a heartfelt appeal that could mean the difference between life and death. As a church that values the well-being of every member of our congregation and the broader community, we must ensure that we are prepared for emergencies. I urge you to consider the urgent need for a defibrillator at The Olive Tree Church.
Sudden cardiac arrest can happen to anyone, anywhere, at any time. It is a leading cause of death worldwide, and without immediate intervention, survival rates are devastatingly low. However, studies have shown that the availability of an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) can increase survival rates significantly. Every second matters in such emergencies, and having an AED on-site could give someone a second chance at life.
Our church is a place of gathering, worship, and fellowship, drawing people of all ages, including the elderly and individuals with underlying health conditions. In a cardiac emergency, emergency medical services may not arrive in time. By investing in a defibrillator, we prioritise safety and demonstrate our commitment to caring for one another in tangible ways.
I am reaching out with an urgent and heartfelt appeal to raise £1,200 to purchase and install a ViVest PowerBeat X3 AED Defibrillator. This device could mean the difference between life and death for someone in our church or community in an emergency.

Refreshments after service
We’re in the process of drawing up rotas for the Summer. We now only have 3 pairs of volunteers for serving refreshments after the service. So please can I have another offer.
Philip usually gets the boiler going. So before service just requires setting out of items. After service, serving and clearing away. Also to provide milk.
Luton Foodbank is still desperately short of the items shown in the graphic below:-
