Dear All,
Next Saturday, 17 May, the leadership team will be going to Assington Hall for an awayday with Andrew and the Tiptree elders. Rev Alex Jacob will be helping to lead the day. Please pray for the day
Please do also remember to pray for our children and young people and their families. We are now in SATS, GCSE, BTEC and A level season for many of them.

Holiday Club
Our Holiday Club for primary school children (including those about to start school in September, to those who are currently in year 6) will be 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.
