The Fund raising team for our Church growth plan have developed a program of exciting and interesting fundraising events for the next few months. Today, they are starting with a “Sunshine bag”. The idea is you place 10 pence in the bag if the sun shines on that day.
If you would like to participate then please pick up a wonderfully made bag from inside church. Each bag has a different motif.
If you can, then please take two bags and give one bag to someone who is NOT a member of our church and is willing to help. A friend, a neighbours or a colleague at work? Let’s try to share the cost of fund raising so the burden doesn’t reside with just our church members and also share awareness of our church.
Our Christian Lending library has received an influx of new books. Everyone is welcome to borrow from the library and then return when you have finished with the book.
The library is located in the prayer corner within church and is free for all to use.
June’s overall theme is ‘Life in the Spirit’
2nd June – Revd. Linda Bishop – Spirit life and Holy Communion. Acts 16: 16-34
