God is spirit, and his worshippers must worship in the Spirit and in truth. John 4:24
Dear All,
Songs and Hymns
You will have heard Andrew announce that he would like everyone to think of their 3 favourite songs/hymns so that these can be included over time as the “minister’s choice”. We have put together a Google form which will enable everyone who can, to submit their choices on line. You will receive an e-mail with the link – please just click on it and complete the four questions. If you do not have access to a computer, there are paper copies on the table in the porch. Please return these to David Bird.
Holiday Club
It was really encouraging to see so many attend an initial planning meeting for the above. We have
decided to run a Holiday Club for primary school children (including those about to start school in September, to those who are currently in year 6) on four consecutive Monday mornings 28th July, 4th August, 11th August and 18th August. We will be using pre-planned material called “The Adventure Cruise”, cruising along 4 different C’s including change, choice, call and courage and how we can get “on board” with Jesus.
There are plenty of opportunities to serve including cafe, cakes, small groups, props, craft, games, tech sound/words. I would be really grateful if you could let me know, if you may be able to help in any way for one or more of the sessions. A DBS check for Plume Avenue Church will be required for those helping at Holiday Club, but can be arranged if necessary. Your continued prayers for the planning and the children and their families who will be attending would also be much appreciated. Thank you, Rachael.
Bible Journaling
The next journaling session will take place this Saturday, 3rd May, 10am-12noon. Coffee and cake provided, plus friendly relaxed chat, whilst spending time in God’s Word, what could be better?! Do come along even if you’ve never been before, speak to Jo for more details. No experience/skills/equipment required, we’d love to see you!

London Day out – 18th October
We are considering hiring a coach to London for the Orchard Women’s conference. We need to fill the coach to cover the costs – if you would like a day out in London and would like to book a seat or seats for you family please e-mail admin@plumeavenuechurch.org.uk or speak to me. The costs will be £30. The coach will drop everyone close to the museums and there will also be time for those who would like to book a matinee for a show in London as the coach will leave at about 7.45pm. Please let us know by 15 May if you would like to come so that we make a decision on whether the coach is feasible or not. Thank you.
