PRAYER AND WORSHIP, 5 MAY, 7.30 pm
At this monthly gathering we come to pray together, for our future and ask God to lead us so that we might be in step with his exciting plan for us as a Church. Under the leadership of Matt, there will be sung worship, a period of devotional time, prayer stations and an opportunity to be encouraged and prayed for.

MESSY CHURCH, 9 MAY, 4.00 pm
Messy Church is about family, creativity, hospitality and celebration.
It is a place to be with the whole family and join in with craft activities, play games and eat together within a Christian environment.
Messy Church is for everyone.

CHRISTIAN AID WEEK – 10 – 16 MAY
Christian Aid Week is not far away now and Dianne Thew and Rob Ankcorn would love to check with folk that they are willing to post envelopes in an area they have delivered to before, or to hear from anyone who would be happy to join the delivery team. No collecting of envelopes required, just posting through doors. Thank you from the Christian Aid committee.

CHRISTIAN AID CONCERT – 24 MAY, 2.00 pm – 5.00 pm
Presence is a Christian Folk-Rock album originally released as a vinyl L.P. in 1976. The band came together through the inspiration of the Focolare Movement. Before and after the album’s release they played at ecumenical youth festivals in Rome, Belgium, Berlin as well as throughout the UK, including at the Roundhouse in Camden, London. The musical influences behind the album include The Incredible String Band; Nick Drake; Fairport Convention; Sandy Denny; Joni Mitchell, Santana and many more. Event page.
