Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing. 1 Thessalonians 5:11
Dear All,
Church Storage sorting
This Saturday, 2nd May starting at 9.30am, we will be sorting out the storage in the loft spaces at church. It would be helpful to have a number of folk to help with this. If you have items stored in the loft space, please speak to Liz or Marie so that we are aware of these. Please do try and join us for this and if anyone can volunteer to provide refreshments this would be very welcome!
Coffee and Tea
Sadly despite the request for more helpers, there were no forthcoming volunteers which means there will be some Sundays on the next rota when we are unable to serve tea and coffee. If this is something you could help with in the future, please do speak to Jo.
Dates for your diary
We have a few dates to share with you.

New Wine
New Wine takes place from Tuesday 28th July to Sunday 2nd August. We will be streaming the celebration sessions in church in the mornings and evenings. Some suggestions have been made to create a “festival” around New Wine at church so that we can gather socially as well as engaging with the celebrations. If you have any ideas for this please do speak to me so that we can put a team together to carry this forward.
