‘What does the LORD require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?’ Micah 6:8
Dear All,
Sunday 1st February
Thank you to everyone who contributed to the table discussions last Sunday morning. The leadership team are now working through the responses.
Ladies Breakfast
We will have an opportunity to gather together for breakfast on Saturday 7th March at 9.15 am. This will be at the Harvester Restaurant in Stanway which has a varied menu from light breakfasts to full English so will hopefully meet everyone’s preferences. Please let me know as soon as possible if you would like to come so that I can make a table booking.
Toddler Group
Sarah writes “Our Monday morning baby and toddler group has grown massively recently!
It is wonderful to see so many new local mums and children join us, but to keep things running smoothly and safely, we really need a few more hands on deck.
We’re looking for volunteers to help with:
• A warm welcome: Chatting with parents and making them feel at home.
• Refreshments: Making tea and coffee for the grown-ups, and preparing the snacks for the little ones.
• Tidying up: Helping clear away snacks and toys.
There is no long term pressure, even if you can only help once a month or on the odd occasion, we would love to have you. This is such a vital outreach for our church. If you’d like to support us, please come and have a chat with me after the service! Thank you! Sarah”.
