The Lord will keep you from all harm he will watch over your life; the Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore. Psalm 121
Dear All
This weekend we welcome Daniel Gitau from Kenya. Daniel will be updating us on the projects in Kenya which we support financially and in prayer and will also be preaching.
Holiday Club Planning
The holiday club bookings are now open to all children who have attended school in the 2023/24 school year from reception to year 6.
We still need people to help with the children’s groups, sound desk, games, refreshments, make cakes and help in the café area. If you are able to help with this please do speak to Rachael. You don’t need to be available for all four dates. If you are volunteering to help with the children you will need a DBS check which we can arrange if you don’t currently hold one. This is an exciting opportunity to share the good news about the Christian faith with these children so do give it prayerful consideration.
