NEWSLETTER The February newsletter is due to be published on Friday 7 February. -If you have news, photos, cartoons… to share with your church family, please may I have them by Tuesday night 4 February? Marj (Marjorieguiler@gmail.com)
SERMON DIGEST Confused by the sermon? Got questions? You are welcome to join us for our first Sermon Digest, which is planned for Sunday 16th February. We meet in the Cairns Room immediately after the service for no more than 20 minutes of Q&A with Rev. Paul. Tea and coffee will be available!
SMALL GROUPS are starting again. We have a number of groups meeting at different times, in different places, that operate in different ways… so there should be a group to suit everyone! If you are interested in joining a group for this term, speak to Paul to find out more.
CHILDREN’S ACTIVITY AFTER CHURCH As the number of children at coffee time has increased, we are aware of the need for some supervision in the St John’s Hall. If you would like to join a rota of volunteers to organise a game or activity for our children for half an hour after the church service, please email or speak to Sandy: sandykane48@proton.me.
Habitat for Humanity Neal Brown would like to thank everyone for their support and generous contributions at Tea & Coffee last Sunday. He was delighted to pass on £350 to Habitat Ireland for their ongoing work.
