Easter Club

Our Easter club for 3-7 year olds runs this year on Saturday March 15th, Good Friday March 21st and on Easter Sunday morning, from 10 to 11.30 am. We will tell the Easter story, play games, make crafts, sing and have loads of fun. Would you like to join in? We would love children to come and adults to help! Please see Buff Forbes Stone, Karen Wellman, Fiona Livesley of Julie Ainsley. All may be contacted via the Church office, tel. 01635 40450.


Chernobyl Children Lifeline - Hosts needed

The children are coming over from Belarus from 13th July until 10th August. Five more host families are needed this year to have one or two children to stay. If you think you can help, please see Jo or Mark Fulker, or contact the church office.


Home Groups

Our small groups are currently studying material on Abraham during the weeks of Lent.

If you want to join one of our informal home groups you would be very welcome at any of them. They are held most evenings and there are also daytime ones. Please see Buff or contact the church office for details of a day and time to suit you. Some of them even feed your stomach as well as your faith!


Library of talks and readings

We are continuing to record the sermons and readings at each service, and keep a library up on the sound desk - one tape for each month. These might be useful if you miss a service and would like to listen to a talk before it is discussed at the next house group. If you would like to borrow a tape, or have your own copy, please see Mike Stuart.
