Notices

The charity for August is The Bible Society. It is a charity on a global mission to bring the Bible to life for everyone and make it available for people to experience in their heart language, especially in China, the Middle East and Southern Africa. In England and Wales, against a backdrop of widespread indifference, they are working across society to help adults and children recognise the value of the Bible.

Partnership for Missional Church. We have joined PMC and begun our first year which is about listening - to the congregation, to our community in the two villages and recognising what God is already doing.  We’ll also be trying new spiritual practices. Year two is about trying something new and seeing what works for us. The third year is the focus on the areas that work for us and that we want to keep. If you would like to know more please contact Cassa or Janine, the steering team leader.

Cassa sends out a monthly email to all those who would like to receive it.  If you are not already receiving it and would like to, please email her on <cassamesservy@gmail.com> or complete one of the forms in church.  

During August there will be no Wednesday morning service.  On Wednesday 5 September Midweek Communion will resume at the new time of 12.30pm.  Do come along at this new time.

The choir is taking a well-earned summer break.  We look forward to their return in September.

Golden Ticket Holiday Club:  This will run from Tuesday 21st to Thursday 23st August.  Application forms are available in church or contact Janna or Cassa.

Can you help with refreshments from time to time? The team brilliantly support many activities as well as refreshments at the end of the 10am Sunday services. Please speak to Ali Cork if you would like to know more.
